This is intended for peers who want to participate in the P2P network but don't wish to load/fill-up their index with metadata of every received search result.
The DHT transfer is not effected by this option (and will work as usual, so that a peer disabling the new store to index switch still receives and holds the metadata according to DHT rules).
Downside for the local peer is that search speed will not improve if search terms are only avail. remote or by quick hits in local index.
To be able to improve the local index a Click-Servlet option was added additionally.
If switched on, all search result links point to this servlet, which forwards the users browser (by html header) to the desired page and feeds the page to the fulltext-index.
The servlet accepts a parameter defining the action to perform (see defaults/web.xml, index, crawl, crawllinks)
The option check-boxes are placed in ConfigPortal.html
parsing into individual pages and add them all using different URLs.
These constructed urls are generated from the source url with an
appended page=<pagenumber> attribute to the url get/post properties.
This will distinguish the different page entries. The search result list
will then replace the post parameter with a url anchor # mark which
causes that the original url is presented in the search result. These
URLs can be opened directly on the correct page using pdf.js which is
now built-in into firefox. That means: if you find a search hit on page
5 and click on the search result, firefox will open the pdf viewer and
shows page 5.
generated dynamically which will stay static in the future. This applies
mainly to the search result favicon in front of search hits. These icons
will now be generated once, but then caches in the browser. There is
also a YaCy-internal cache for these icons which had prevented the
re-generation of the icons in YaCy, but this cache is now superfluous
since the browser should not call the servlet ViewImage again.
hold a date for each URL to record when a url was first seen. This is
then used to overwrite the modification date for urls upon recrawl in
case that the first-seen date is before the latest document date. This
behaviour is necessary due to the common behaviour of content management
systems which attach always the current date to all documents. Using the
firstSeen database it is possible to approximate a real first document
creation date in case that the crawler starts frequently for the same
domain. As a result the search results ordered by date have a much
better quality and the usage of YaCy as search agent for latest news has
a better quality.
*) will try other ports if YaCy standard ports are not available
*) distinguish between internal and external port (not sure if this
works 100%)
Still to add: propery in config to enter own external port (in case of
manually configured NAT)
removed preferred IPv4 in start options and added a new field IP6 in
peer seeds which will contain one or more IPv6 addresses. Now every peer
has one or more IP addresses assigned, even several IPv6 addresses are
possible. The peer-ping process must check all given and possible IP
addresses for a backping and return the one IP which was successful when
pinging the peer. The ping-ing peer must be able to recognize which of
the given IPs are available for outside access of the peer and store
this accordingly. If only one IPv6 address is available and no IPv4,
then the IPv6 is stored in the old IP field of the seed DNA.
Many methods in Seed.java are now marked as @deprecated because they had
been used for a single IP only. There is still a large construction site
left in YaCy now where all these deprecated methods must be replaced
with new method calls. The 'extra'-IPs, used by cluster assignment had
been removed since that can be replaced with IPv6 usage in p2p clusters.
All clusters must now use IPv6 if they want an intranet-routing.
hour. The table can be shown with
http://localhost:8090/Tables_p.html?table=stats
The entries have the following meaning:
aM: activeLastMonth
aW: activeLastWeek
aD: activeLastDay
aH: activeLastHour
cC: countConnected (Active Senior)
cD: countDisconnected (Passive Senior)
cP: countPotential (Junior)
cR: count of the RWI entries
cI: size of the index (number of documents)
The entry keys are abbreviated to reduce the space in the table as the
name is written again for every row.
This is the beginning of a 'yacystats' micro-alternative als built-in
function in YaCy. Graphics may follow after some time if enough test
data is available.
- default mySeed.ip to hostip in SeedDB.initMySeed() if Intranetmode
this allows to become senior status in intranet hosted search network with view peers,
otherwise peer would stay junior because of default init with loopback ip as public (dna) ip.
'cloud' was a bad idea. Changed also the accumulation process for peer
targets so that every dht chunk is not assigned the set of redundant
targets but they are assigned to redundant targets individually. This
enhances the granularity of the target accumulation and should enhance
the efficiency of the process. Finally the dht protocol client was
enriched with the ability to remove the 'accept remote index' flag from
peers or remove peers completely if they do not answer at all.
was optional and another alternative metadata store was available. Since
that store is now removed, Solr is always available (internally or
externally)
in peer hash hashing. This should not change anything if java casts long
to int by masking with 0xFFFFFFFFL but you never know. The important
thing is, that the hashCode() should not return numbers that have the
same order as the hash code order because hashing of seeds is used to
remove the order in some places.
- removed the default version blacklist regex from init (for future versions)
!!! left existing update blacklist setting untouched !!!
(existing installation wanting autoupdate for 1.71 need to change blacklist in ConfigUpdate_p.html)
- moved old blacklist patch to migration.java
- refactored all code which uses URIMetadataRow as standard for word
hash length and word hash ordering and moved that to the class 'Word',
becuase the class URIMetadataRow defined the old metadata data structure
and should be superfluous in the future
- removed unused methods from URIMetadataRow as preparation for further
removal of that class
- since specific heuristic Twitter & Blekko is not longer available or redundant with OpenSearchHeuristic,
adjusted ConfigHeuristic to use OpensearchHeuristic settings only.
For this the default OSD search target list is made available (copied) by default and the other configs are removed.
- the return of QueryGoal.getOriginalQueryString includes the queryModifier, which are held separately in a modifier object,
but in most (all) cases just the query term is expected, clarified and renamed it to QueryGoal.getQueryString which returns
just the search term (if needed a .getOrigianlQueryString could be implemented in Queryparameters, adding the modifiers)
- started to adjust internal html href references from absolute to relative (currently it is mixed).
For future development we should prefer relative href targets (less trouble with context aware servlets)
request into a separate thread and ignores the furthure result of a
request if that does not answer within the requested time-out. This is a
try to solve a problem with the peer-ping, which hangs whenever a peer
appears to be dead or blocked.
As the solr servlet may not be available (e.g. no public search page, old version, individual access setting) a /solr/select error is
remembered in the seed.dna of the remote peer.
This is not permanent, as flag is not stored and the seed is reloaded on several occasions, it is just a memory of the recent past status.
Might also be set to "not available" on time-out of last try.
- all non-dht targets (previously separated into 'robinson' for dht-like
queries and 'node' for solr queries) are non 'extra' peers, which are
queries using solr
- these extra-peers are now selected using a ranking on last-seen,
peer-tag-matches, node-peer flags, peer age, and link count. The ranking
is done using a weight and a random factor.
- the number of extra peers is 50% of the dht peers
- the dht peers now exclude too young peers to prevent bad results
during strong growth of the network
- the number of dht peers (and therefore extra-peers) is reduced when
the memory of the peer is low and/or some documents still appear in the
indexing-queue. This shall prevent a peer from deadlocks when p2p
queries are made in a fast sequence on weak hardware.
- the admin user name can be configured, in apiExec calls the default "admin" username is used.
TODO: the bin/apicall.sh script should likely take that into account.
- added default filename filter to select field (as only addition to *.black list is permanent)
- modified Blacklist_p header/legend to show all active blacklists
(to support understanding that all configured lists are active)
- removed obsolete code in Blacklist_p servlet
