is VERY high. This applies also if the CPU load is high because of
in-cache crawling; in that case we want to experience a high-CPU load as
much as possible
The resource observer is now able to recognize free disk space AND
available space for YaCy. The amount of space which is assigned for YaCy
are defined in new settings in the configuration file.
Furthermore, there is now a cleanup process which deletes files in case
that an autodelete is activated. The autodelete is now BY DEFAULT ON if
the disk space is low, which means that YaCy starts to delete documents
when the disk is full!
if load > 1 (but < 2) but only if there is enough memory (now: 0.5 GB
RAM available). The memory amount of the postprocessing is the cause
that systems block because they run into a frequent-GC chain which
almost locks the peer. If running with enough memory, the postprocessing
is fast and not damaging to the system.
Because the required RAM of 0.5 GB is never available in default
setting, the postprocessing will not run if the peer is not reconfigured
to use more memory.
introduced, it was also used for search facets. The generic search
facets are now deduced from generic solr fields which makes jena as tool
for facet semantics superfluous.
- 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)
as BASIC were pwd is transmitted near clear text (B64enc).
This has some implication as RFC 2617 requires and recommends a password hash MD5(user:realm:pwd) for DIGEST.
!!! before activating DIGEST you have to reassign all passwords !!! to allow new calculation of the hash
- default authentication is still BASIC
- configuration at this time only manually in (DATA/settings) or defaults/web.xml (<auth-method>
- the realmname is in defaults/yacy.init adminRealm=YaCy-AdminUI
- fyi: the realmname is shown on login screen
- changing the realm name invalidates all passwords - but for security you are encouraged to do so (as localhostadmin)
- implemented to support both, old hashes for BASIC and new hashes for BASIC and DIGEST
- to differentiate old / new hash the in Jetty used hash-prefix "MD5:" is used for new pwd-hashes ( "MD5:hash" )
as path for solr index dumps (instead of the SEGMENTS path). This will
make a maintenance of index backups easier. It will also provide a tool
to migrate from an freeworld index to a webportal index.
- user entry in UserDB with admin right can login to access protected pages
- dto. admin user, choosen username is stored in conf (adminAccountUserName=)
the right content domain (i.e. identifying that it is an image, text
etc.) because it used the file extension and not an existing mime type
assignment.
- fixed the new setting that images shall be loaded for a better image
search.
- both fixes together makes it now possible to crawl
commons.wikimedia.org which makes use of 'funny' document names (i.e.
ending with .jpg while the document is html)
is visible whenever a location is available in the search result.
To activate this, the search.navigation property in yacy.conf must be
modified to the new default values.
like normal documents. Using this option (by default on at this moment;
this might change soon) it is possible to get the exif data into the
search index to be used in image search.
in intranets and the internet can now choose to appear as Googlebot.
This is an essential necessity to be able to compete in the field of
commercial search appliances, since most web pages are these days
optimized only for Google and no other search platform any more. All
commercial search engine providers have a built-in fake-Google User
Agent to be able to get the same search index as Google can do. Without
the resistance against obeying to robots.txt in this case, no
competition is possible any more. YaCy will always obey the robots.txt
when it is used for crawling the web in a peer-to-peer network, but to
establish a Search Appliance (like a Google Search Appliance, GSA) it is
necessary to be able to behave exactly like a Google crawler.
With this change, you will be able to switch the user agent when portal
or intranet mode is selected on per-crawl-start basis. Every crawl start
can have a different user agent.
explored for citations within other documents. A click on the
'Citations' link shows an analysis with all text lines in the document
each with a complete list of documents which contain the same line. A
second section shows the linking documents in ascending order of number
of citations from the original document. Because documents from
different hosts are most interesting here, they are listed at the top of
the page as possible 'copypasta' source.
yacy will load linked web pages from search results until the total
number of web pages reaches 15000. This shall give fresh peers a 'boost'
to get faster a personalized search index.
function. This replaces the previous formula, which was bad. Before you
update to this version, please check if you changed the ranking function
yourself before, since it will be overwritten.
This will enable https-access to YaCy, but this feature is disabled by
default using the new server.https=false attribute. This has two
purposes:
- make it easier for everyone to use https (just set server.https=true)
- provide the basis for secure yacy-to-yacy communication in the future
holds the number of documents for the host where the document is hosted.
This is necessary for ranking and the norming of references per local
host in the ranking computation.
- no document search this time
- adjusted banner and network to not show 'WORDS' but DHT Chunks. This
is to avoid confusion for robinson peers which do not create Word
Entries
- an existing ranking servlet for solr was extended. It is now possible
to set boost values for fields, boost functions and boost queries.
- The ranking can have different instances, but currently only the first
one is used
- added an abstraction layer for fields which can be used for search and
those fields can be edited in the solr ranking configruation
- the ranking value from solr within the field score is used to combine
remote search requests, which all are created using the same locally
defined boost values
- reduced the number of fields which are used for search (makes it
faster)
- replaced some text fields by string fields (makes indexing faster)
- removed classes which had no use
- made a large number of experiments for a better ranking and created a
temporary setting which prefers hits inside titles
- adjusted also the RWI-based ranking computation to 'prefer title'
- made special cases like for portal search where no post-processing and
post-ranking is wanted: this keeps the original ranking order as done by
Solr
- fixed many bugs with old settings for ranking
index (new solr core webgraph) .. this is now off by default
- completely redesigned this servlet
- added description how to attach a remote solr
- adjusted naming of servlet and menues
- moved 'lazy initialization' attribut from IndexSchema to
IndexFederated (this is a general option) back again.
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.
- any system supporting opensearch specification can be configured
- search query is only forwarded to remote system if not enough results available on local peer
- discover function provided, checking the local Solr index for links to opensearchdescription files, to add to the config
- sample config file with some general search engines with opensearch support
- 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
on the jaudiotagger library. The parser is disabled by default as it
needs to store temporary files for non file:// protocols, which might be
disliked. For your local MP3-collection it loads nicely Artist,
Title, Album etc. from the audio files meta data.
- 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)
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.
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.
