- replaced load failure logging by information which is stored in Solr
- fixed a bug with crawling of feeds: added must-match pattern
application to feed urls to filter out such urls which shall not be in a
wanted domain
- delegatedURLs, which also used ZURLs are now temporary objects in
memory
all unique links! This made it necessary, that a large portion of the
parser and link processing classes must be adopted to carry a different
type of link collection which carry a property attribute which are
attached to web anchors.
- introduction of a new URL class, AnchorURL
- the other url classes, DigestURI and MultiProtocolURI had been renamed
and refactored to fit into a new document package schema, document.id
- cleanup of net.yacy.cora.document package and refactoring
because it's normal that a boolean value is missing in the post argument
if a checkbox is not selected.
Added also some style enhancements to IndexFederated, removed the Solr
attachment manual and replaced it with a link to the wiki which explains
this in more detail.
jdk-based logger tend to block
at java.util.logging.Logger.log(Logger.java:476) in concurrent
environments. This makes logging a main performance issue. To overcome
this problem, this is a add-on to jdk logging to put log entries on a
concurrent message queue and log the messages one by one using a
separate process.
- FTPClient uses the concurrent logging instead of the log4j logger
references_internal_url_sxt because they had been shown to be
superfluous. The citation of referrer in the host browser is possible
without them. Therefore now the host browser does not only show
internal, but also external referrer to each link.
While the values for the reference evaluation are computed, also a
backlink-structure can be discovered and written to the index as well.
The host browser has been extended to show such backlinks to each
presented links. The host browser therefore can now show an information
where an document is linked. The new citation reference is computed as
likelyhood for a random click path with recursive usage of previously
computed likelyhood. This process is repeated until the likelyhood
converges to a specific number. This number is then normalized to a
ranking value CRn, 0<=CRn<=1. The value CRn can therefore be used to
rank popularity within intra-domain link structures.
id to be tested, but with a collection of ids. This will cause only a
single call to solr instead of many. The result is a much better
performace when testing the existence of many urls. The effect should
cause very much less IO during index transmission, both on sender and
receiver side.
Because the index size is now provided by solr, and the only way to do
that is a match for [* TO *], a size computation is quite complex and
time-consuming. Therefore this patch prevents that the method is called
at all and if necessary puts a DOS-preventing barrier in front of it.
The default schema uses only some of them and the resting search index
has now the following properties:
- webgraph size will have about 40 times as much entries as default
index
- the complete index size will increase and may be about the double size
of current amount
As testing showed, not much indexing performance is lost. The default
index will be smaller (moved fields out of it); thus searching
can be faster.
The new index will cause that some old parts in YaCy can be removed,
i.e. specialized webgraph data and the noload crawler. The new index
will make it possible to:
- search within link texts of linked but not indexed documents (about 20
times of document index in size!!)
- get a very detailed link graph
- enhance ranking using a complete link graph
To get the full access to the new index, the API to solr has now two
access points: one with attribute core=collection1 for the default
search index and core=webgraph to the new webgraph search index. This is
also avaiable for p2p operation but client access is not yet
implemented.
structure, but is not filled yet. To have the opportunity of a second
core, multi-core functionality had to be implemented to the
deep-embedded solr:
- migrated the solr_40 directory content to a subdirectory
'collection1'; the previously used default core is now called
collection1
- added solr_40/webgraph subdirectory as second core
- added a servlet configuration for the second core 'webgraph' in
/IndexSchema_p.html
- added instance handling as addition to solr connections: all solr
connectors are now instances of an solr 'instance' object; this required
a complete re-design of the solr embedding
- migrated also caching and sharding ontop of new instance handling
- migrated the search apis to handle now the access to a specific core,
the default core named 'collection1'
- migrated the remote solr search interface to access shards of cores;
for the yacy remote search the default core is now called 'solr'; using
the peer address as solr address
- migrated the solr backup and restore process: old backups cannot be
used after this migration!
- redesign of solr instance handling in all methods which access the
instances: they cannot hold copies of these instances any more; the must
retrieve the actuall connection object every time they want to write to
it (this solves also some bugs when switching the index/network)
- added another schema 'solr.webgraph.schema', the old solr.keys.list is
replaced by solr.collection.schema
4.0.0 there is a new softcommit feature which implements a
near-real-time (NRT) search option. The softcommit does not do IO and
does not cause performance issues.
YaCy has now an extension in its solr connectors to use the softcommit
feature. The softcommit call now replaces all places where a hard commit
was used. Furthermore the commit strategy in when doing a search from
the web interface was changed (it's done every time before a search is
done).
The softcommit feature was implemented because it was needed for the
following changes (customer demands), which is also included in this
git commit:
- added a feature to identify all documents which have unique titles
and/or unique descriptions. These unique flags are disabled by default.
- added also a feature to set a flag when the url from a canonical tag
is equal to the document url. This is also disabled by default.
To support the new softcommit strategy, the commitWithinMs option was
set to -1 do disable automatic commit based on document insert times. If
documents are inserted permanently then also a commit would happen
permanently whenever the commitWithinMs time is reached. This would
conflict with the regular autocommit of 10 minutes and the new
softcommit strategy.
This attribute can be used for ranking and for other purpose (demand by
customer)
The click depth is computed in two steps:
- during indexing the current fill-state of the reverse link index is
used to backtrack the current page to the root page. The length of that
backtrack is the clickdepth. But this does not discover the shortest
click depth. To get this, a second process to check again is needed
- added a process tag that can be used to do operations on the existing
index after a crawl; i.e. calculation the shortest clickpath. Added a
field to control this operation but not a method to operate on this.
- added a visualization of the clickpath length in the host browser
- ConfigPortal: added checkbox Host Browser
- yacy.init: added search.result.show.hostbrowser as default = on (true)
- fix HostBrowser: broken link to protected WebStructurePicture for public user
the actual data which is fetched from solr.
- used the new field options to reduce generic options like getting the
load date or the count of search results. should increase overall speed
- used the new field options to reduce overhead in the host browser
during aquisition of links.
- used the field options to make checking of links in crawler faster
- if the crawler is paused, the crawl queue is not cleaned
added solr highlighting / YaCy snippets to YaCy search results
- facets are now much more complete
- facets are computed and searched much faster
- snippet computation is done by solr if solr knows the snippet
- only visible for admins
- a faceted search generates a huge list for all hosts in the host list
- the faceted search algorithms had to be modified for that
- within the browsing of the directory path, the error cause is written
to the url which is presented as error-url
- the errors are also accumulated for directory sums
host has a lot of urls. If the number of urls is > 1000, then the list
of documents is restricted to such which have no subpath, if the root
path is selected. However, this can cause a problem if no documents on
the root path exist but only on paths below that root path.
- time-out after 3 seconds to speed up display (may be incomplete)
- showing also all links from the balancer queue in the host list (after
the '/') and in the result browser view with tag 'loading'
URIMetadataNode which creates the opportunity to access Solr objects
directly and use their information richness
- lazy initialization of the URIMetadataNode object - should cause less
computation and memory usage during search.
- removed dead code
- showing also outbound links to other domains if there are any
- the outbound links browser shows also the link structure image
- showing even inbound links if the web structure graph has information
about that
- removed the left menu and made the HostBrowser a part of the top menu
for search
- moved the file search also to the top menu
- added hover information in the HostBrowser to explain what the click
means
- because the HostBrowser also links to the Metadata viewer ViewFile,
there should be a button to switch back to the HostBrowser: added that
also.
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.
