this new search interface is something completely new for search, but
completely common on desktops: browser a web space like one would browse
a file system in a file browser. The file listing is created using the
search index and a faceted restriction to specific domains.
solr and the gsa search interface. That means that all JavaScript in
browsers now can Cross-Origin access all YaCy search interfaces, which
opens the option of 'YaCy Client in Browser' and 'End-Point Fail-over'
concepts.
Therefore a property like solrConnected() must be true all the time.
Removal of this method causes removal of all write operations to the old
metadata index.
create an document entry. This makes remote search much slower.
- removed synchronization of add method if ip_s is activated to prevent
that a user configuration causes bad behavior. The disadvantage of that
is, that a index dump can cause data loss if an indexing is running
during index dump
- catched more exceptions and more NPE
- better abstraction in MirrorSolrConnector
- slight performance enhancement when only the index count is requested
(rows=0 is sufficient to get a total count)
dump commands
- adjusted the apicall.sh script to get the downloaded text as output to
stdout which is necessary to parse the content out of it
- added indexdump.sh script which creates a solr dump and prints out the
storage path for the index dump
- added synchronization to the Fulltext class to prevent that data is
stored to a non-existing solr index while this index is disabled during
the storage of the dump
structures in cora:
- added the Peer object, which is a fresh version of Seed
- added the Peers object, which is a fresh version of Network
- added the Network api access class to retrieve a list of peers based
on the Network.xml servlet in all YaCy peers.
- indexUrlMustMatch and indexUrlMustNotMatch which can be used to select
loaded pages for indexing. Default patterns are in such a way that all
loaded pages are also indexed (as before) but when doing an expert crawl
start, then the user may select only specific urls to be indexed.
- crawlerNoDepthLimitMatch is a new pattern that can be used to remove
the crawl depth limitation. This filter a never-match by default (which
causes that the depth is used) but the user can select paths which will
be loaded completely even if a crawl depth is reached.
- added indexing to Tables columns to support larger bookmark
collections
- added RDF output (HTTP) for public bookmarks at /YMarks.rdf
- YMarkRDF also provides a Jena RDF Model as "internal" API
- various other changes/fixes for YMarks (mainly backend)
- a solr field collection_sxt can be used to store a set of crawl tags
- when this field is activated, a crawl tag can be assigned when crawls
are started
- the content of the collection field can be comma-separated, all of
them are assigned to the documents when they are indexed as result of
such a crawl start
- a search result can be drilled down to a specific collection; this is
currently only available in the solr interface and also in the gsa
interface using the 'site' option
- this adds a mandatory field for gsa queries (the google api demands
that field all the time)
- reduced danger that a non-existing RWI database causes NPEs
- added Solr queries to did-you-mean: this makes it possible that our
did-you-mean algorithm works together with only Solr and without RWIs
title_count_i, title_chars_val, title_words_val
description_count_i, description_chars_val, description_words_val
- added many asserts to ensure data type correctness from YaCy to Solr
and vice versa
- made many fixes according to new findings from these asserts (!)
- fixed type definition found by the verifier
- added multivalue-string fields for solr with extension 'sxt'
- added multivalue-integer fields for solr with extension 'val'
- renamed some solr attributes from txt to sxt
- changed solr query line to an explicit AND/OR structure
- added a country code second level domain list to Domains class; with
parser
- added a host string parser to get domain class name, country-code
second-level domain and subdomain out of it
- removed old coordinate attributes
if adminAccountForLocalhost=true leave automatic password unchanged so access from local host is granted but remote access is preventet from the 1st second.
Previously Yacy could read file listings in UTF-8, but couldn't send commands to the FTP server in UTF-8 (the second byte of every multi-byte character was ignored), which caused a lot of errors on the server side.
Now it handles UTF-8 correctly.
Node to Row objects
- removed peerDeparture in solr remote search in case that peer does not
answer (this may be normal because it is allowed to switch this off)
- when doing a remote search, node peers are selected for solr queries
- the solr query is done concurrently to the standard YaCy rwi search
- the solr search result is feeded into the same data structure that
prepares the rwi search result
- the same remote seach that is done to several outside peers is done to
the local solr index
- the search process works now also without any 'old' RWI data using
solr
solr as fulltext search index.
- added slow migration from old metadata to solr index entries: each
entry from the old metadata is removed from that data structure and
written into solr.
to have a fall-back option in case that memory problems as reported in
http://forum.yacy-websuche.de/viewtopic.php?p=26901#p26901
for full-solr installation are too strong and we have to work with an
'small memory footprint' peer system.
for production as a replacement of the metadata-db.
This intermediate release 1.041 will switch on the previously optional
solr index and the old metadata-db will still work as it did before.
Solr+metadata are accessed in mixed mode, no migration is done yet.
If this causes not a catastrophe until the end of the weekend, we will
do a YaCy 1.1 main release containing this as default.
attached, the metadata is not written to the metadata-db, even if it is
enabled but instead to solr. This prevents that metadata is written in
two store systems at the same time. It is also the next step to migrate
the current metadata-db to solr.
metadata representation from the solr index. This shall replace metadata
from the built-in database in the future.
- added the Solr-driven metadata into the search index of YaCy which
makes it now possible to run YaCy without the old metadata index. This
is a major stept forward to a full migration to Solr.
a rss/opensearch writer and an enhanced solr xml writer.
The enhanced solr writer has less configuration overhead than the
original writer and should by slightly faster. The rss/opensearch writer
is at this time slightly incomplete compared with the already existing
rss search result form YaCy and also snippets are missing at this time.
To test the new interface, open for example:
http://localhost:8090/solr/select?wt=rss&q=olympia
The wt-code for the new result writers are=
wt=rss for opensearch
wt=exml for the enhanced solr xml writer.
Additionally, the SRU search parameters had been added to the solr
interface which can now also be used for a normal solr/xml search.
writings to the Metadata-DB are now also done to solr. This includes
metadata transfer during search and rwi transfer.
The new/added solr fields are:
## time when resource was loaded
load_date_dt
## date until resource shall be considered as fresh
fresh_date_dt
## id of the host, a 6-byte hash that is part of the document id
host_id_s
## ids of referrer to this document
referrer_id_ss
## the md5 of the raw source
md5_s
## the name of the publisher of the document
publisher_t
## the language used in the document; starts with primary language
language_ss
## an external ranking value
ranking_i
## the size of the raw source
size_i
## number of links to audio resources
audiolinkscount_i
## number of links to video resources
videolinkscount_i
## number of links to application resources
applinkscount_i
or will be superfluous or subject of complete redesign after the
migration to solr. Removing these things now will make the transition to
solr more simple.
- by default, a (empty) solr storage instance is created at
SEGMENTS/solr_36
- the index is written if in /IndexFederated_p.html the flag "embedded
solr search index" is switched on
- a standard solr query interface is available now with a new servlet at
http://127.0.0.1:8090/solr/select
To test this, do the following:
- switch to webportal mode
- switch on the feature as described
- do a crawl. this fills the solr index. The normal YaCy search will NOT
work now!
- do a solr query, like:
http://127.0.0.1:8090/solr/select?q=*:*
http://127.0.0.1:8090/solr/select?q=text_t:Help
play with different search fields as you can see in
/IndexFederated_p.html
You can use the standard solr query attributes as described in
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SearchHandler
writter faster that the logger is able to print this out to its out
stream. A very large collection of unwritten log outputs had been seen
during strong crawling. The new ArrayBlockingQueue is limited to prevent
this case.
- added cleaning of blacklist cache if cache is modified in interface
- extended cache saving to all cache types
- moved cache location to DATA/LISTS
- fixed static file path which was relative to the application path but
should be relative to data path - which is different in debian and mac
implementations
of the major CPU users during snippet verification. The class was not
efficient for two reasons:
- it used a too complex input stream; generated from sources and UTF8
byte-conversions. The BufferedReader applied a strong overhead.
- to feed data into the SentenceReader, multiple toString/getBytes had
been applied until a buffered Reader from an input stream was possible.
These superfluous conversions had been removed.
- the best source for the Sentence Reader is a String. Therefore the
production of Strings had been forced inside the Document class.
A limit was necessary because some web pages have such huge numbers of
links that it can easily cause a OOM just by the number of links.
The quesion if the number of 1000 links is sufficient or too weak must
be answered with the result of testing this feature.
the segments had been there to create a tenant-infrastructure but were
never be used since that was all much too complex. There will be a
replacement using a solr navigation using a segment field in the search
index.
0-values and no empty strings are written). This may save a lot of
memory (in ram and on disc) if excessive 0-values or empty strings
appear)
- do not allow default boolean values for checkboxes because that does
not make sense: browsers may omit the checkbox attribute name if the box
is not checked. A default value 'true' would not comply with the
semantic of the browsers response.
- add a checkbox in IndexFederated_p for the lazy initialization of solr
fields.
