notions within the fulltext of a document. This class attempts to
identify also dates given abbreviated or with missing year or described
with names for special days, like 'Halloween'. In case that a date has
no year given, the current year and following years are considered.
This process is therefore able to identify a large set of dates to a
document, either because there are several dates given in the document
or the date is ambiguous. Four new Solr fields are used to store the
parsing result:
dates_in_content_sxt:
if date expressions can be found in the content, these dates are listed
here in order of the appearances
dates_in_content_count_i:
the number of entries in dates_in_content_sxt
date_in_content_min_dt:
if dates_in_content_sxt is filled, this contains the oldest date from
the list of available dates
#date_in_content_max_dt:
if dates_in_content_sxt is filled, this contains the youngest date from
the list of available dates, that may also be possibly in the future
These fields are deactiviated by default because the evaluation of
regular expressions to detect the date is yet too CPU intensive. Maybe
future enhancements will cause that this is switched on by default.
The purpose of these fields is the creation of calendar-like search
facets, to be implemented next.
- new switch 'isFacet' which causes that the usage of the vocabulary for
search facets is enabled or disabled. This shall be used for large
vocabularies sind searched in solr are extremely slow if facets for a
large set of alternative terms are generated
- new option to disable auto-enrichment from synonyms
- new option to add synonyms from another column when importing from csv
- automatically recognize double-occurrences in synonyms and bundling
terms for such synonyms
- snapshots can now also be xml files which are extracted from the solr
index and stored as individual xml files in the snapshot directory along
the pdf and jpg images
- a transaction layer was placed above of the snapshot directory to
distinguish snapshots into 'inventory' and 'archive'. This may be used
to do transactions of index fragments using archived solr search results
between peers. This is currently unfinished, we need a protocol to move
snapshots from inventory to archive
- the SNAPSHOT directory was renamed to snapshot and contains now two
snapshot subdirectories: inventory and archive
- snapshots may now be generated by everyone, not only such peers
running on a server with xkhtml2pdf installed. The expert crawl starts
provides the option for snapshots to everyone. PDF snapshots are now
optional and the option is only shown if xkhtml2pdf is installed.
- the snapshot api now provides the request for historised xml files,
i.e. call:
http://localhost:8090/api/snapshot.xml?urlhash=Q3dQopFh1hyQ
The result of such xml files is identical with solr search results with
only one hit.
The pdf generation has been moved from the http loading process to the
solr document storage process. This may slow down the process a lot and
a different version of the process may be needed.
list of latest/oldest entries in the snapshot database. This is an
example:
http://localhost:8090/api/snapshot.rss?depth=2&order=LATESTFIRST&host=yacy.net&maxcount=100
The properties depth, order, host and maxcount can be omited. The
meaning of the fields are:
host: select only urls from this host or all, if not given
depth: select only urls at that crawl depth or all, if not given
maxcount: select at most the given number of urls or 10, if not given
order: either LATESTFIRST to select the youngest entries, OLDESTFIRST to
select the first entries or ANY to select any
The rss feed needs administration rights to work, a call to this servlet
with rss extension must attach login credentials.
so viewed text and metadata (stored) info is similar
- to archive it, use request with profile to allow indexing (defaultglobaltext) and update index
(the resource is loaded, parsed anyway, so it's not a expensive operation)
Request: remove 2 unused init parameter
- number of anchors of the parent
- forkfactor sum of anchors of all ancestors
thread pools will flush their cached (dead) threads after 60 seconds.
This will cause that YaCy now runs constantly withl about 50 threads,
about 100 at peak times. Previously, about 400 threads had been cached
and kept in a hibernation state, which caused that the numproc counter
in /proc/user_beancounters (exists only in VM-hosted linux) was as high
as the cached number of threads. This caused that VM supervisors
terminated whole VM sessions if a limit was reached. Many VM providers
have limits of numproc=96 which made it virtually impossible to run YaCy
on such machines. With this change, it will be possible to run many YaCy
instances even on VM hosts.
TimeoutRequests. The purpose is to test if YaCy runs better on VMs where
there is a limitation of concurrent processes; see
/proc/user_beancounters in row numproc; this value is limited and should
be low. Try to set timeoutrequests to keep this low. (works only after
restart)
be transcoded into jpg for image previews. To create such pdfs you must
do:
Add wkhtmltopdf and imagemagick to your OS, which you can do:
On a Mac download wkhtmltox-0.12.1_osx-cocoa-x86-64.pkg from
http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html and downloadh
ttp://cactuslab.com/imagemagick/assets/ImageMagick-6.8.9-9.pkg.zip
In Debian do "apt-get install wkhtmltopdf imagemagick"
Then check in /Settings_p.html?page=ProxyAccess: "Transparent Proxy" and
"Always Fresh" - this is used by wkhtmltopdf to fetch web pages using
the YaCy proxy. Using "Always Fresh" it is possible to get all pages
from the proxy cache.
Finally, you will see a new option when starting an expert web crawl.
You can set a maximum depth for crawling which should cause a pdf
generation. The resulting pdfs are then available in
DATA/HTCACHE/SNAPSHOTS/<host>.<port>/<depth>/<shard>/<urlhash>.<date>.pdf
concurrently. When a RWI search result is flushed into the result set,
id does Solr Queries (which replaced the old-style Metadata Queries) and
they are possibly running concurrently to a previously startet Solr
search. Both methods may block each other with IO. To enhance the speed,
they are now serialized. Because the Solr search results may result in
better results using the more advanced and configurable Ranking methods,
this result is preverred over the RWI search result. However, remote RWI
search results are still feeded concurrently into the search result as
well.
set to 'Always Fresh' the cache is always used if the entry in the cache
exist. This is a good way to archive web content and access it without
going online again in case the documents exist.
To do so, open /Settings_p.html?page=ProxyAccess and check the "Always
Fresh" checkbox.
This is set do false which behave as set before.
If you set this to true, then you have your web archive in DATA/HTCACHE.
Copy this to carry around your private copy of the internet!
if file in DATA/SETTINGS it is loaded otherwise file in ./defaults is loaded
(if locale ./defaults/stopwords.xx doesn't exist take solr/lang/stopwords_xx.txt as default)
move yacy.stopwords, yacy.stopwords.de and yacy.badwords.example out of root directory to ./defaults directory
encodings (preselected windows-type character encoding which is typical
for CSV files). Fixed also other problems with character encoding in
dictionary files. Automatically generated vocabularies are now also
noted in the API steering.
to always get fresh lists of documents. This is necessary since the
postprocessing changes the same documents which the
postprocessing-collection query selects.
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.
postprocessing the solr documents are now not completely retrieved.
instead, only fiels, needed for the postprocessing are extracted. When
Solr document are written, this is done using partial updates.
This increases postprocessing speed by about 50% for embedded Solr
configurations. For external Solr configurations the enhancement should
be much higher because the postprocessing with remote Solr is very slow.
When doing partial updates to a remote Solr, this method should perform
much better than before, it is expected that this is even much higher
than the increase with local Solr.
This is the first element of a new 'decoration' component which may hold
switches for different external appearance parameters.
The first switch in that context is decoration.audio (as usual in
yacy.init). This value is set to false by default, that means the audio
feedback element is switched off by default. To switch it on, set
decoration.audio = true (using /ConfigProperties_p.html). You will then
hear sounds for the following events:
- remote searches
- incoming dht transmissions
- new documents from the crawler
Sound clips are stored in htroot/env/soundclips/ which is done so
because a future implementation will read these files using the http
client and with configurable urls which will make it very easy for the
user to replace the given sounds with own sounds.
*) 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)

(this eventually can benefit image search by using mime only)
reduce redundant field assignment for Solrdocuments created from URIMetadataNode (URIMetadataNode = SolrDocument with partially assigned fields)
tested with IE11 and Firefox 32 (change worked for both to show 2nd line without cutting off height)
+fix charset parameter in metadataImageParser
+update start errMsgTxt to "java 1.7"
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.
This is a modified genericImageParser adding tif (and psd) support even if java ImageIO plugin for tif is not installed in JDK.
Adds just tif and psd to the available parsers.
Uses the same library to extract metadata, so could eventually be merged with genericImageParser.
All detected metadata are added to the parsed document (potentially some more as with genericImageParser)
genericImageParser uses javax ImageIO, supported images depend on available plugins for ImageIO package (this is JDK installation specific). Jpeg, png and gif are availabel by default. Tif and others only on avalable plugin (in classpath).
Add supported image type dynamically on startup.
the parser initialization. To make the apk parser usable, the handling
of application type links had to be modified. Now all documents which
have not a parser attached are placed to the noload-queue while all
other documents are parsed using the associated parser class. This may
have side-Effects on other parsers and the display of different file
classes (images, apps, videos).
solr to the YaCy built-in solr search servlet. Its not complete and not
fully correct (there is still a utf8 encoding problem) but it is a way
to get easily requests forwarded through YaCy to an external Solr.
it is now possible to get the results in two steps:
- first retrieve all IDs as given for a query
- then retieve each document individually
This was necessary for very large result sets where a query may run for
hours and is possibly terminated by a solr-internal timeout. This occurs
regulary during postprocessing and therefore this commit may fix
unwanted postprocessing terminations.
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.
found a situation after crash (reboot) with existing running semaphore but YaCy not running.
