one request:
- allow larger match-fields in html interface
- delete all host hashes at once from zurl
- when deleting by host, do not count size of deleted entries since that
was the reason it took so long
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.
superfluous there; it can be changed in the scheduler servlet. It's also
confusing in the presence of the delete-option, which will be
implemented next.
- removed unused crawl start servlet
- some refactoring to make the time parser reusable
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
deleted which are selected by a crawl filter (host or subpath)
- site crawl used this option be default now
- made option to deleteDomain() concurrency
MultiProtocolURI during normalform computation because that should
always be done and also be done during initialization of the
MultiProtocolURI Object. The new normalform method takes only one
argument which should be 'true' unless you know exactly what you are
doing.
- 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.
- the list of urls is entered in the expert crawl start in a textfield;
the one-line input field was replaced with a text box
- start urls can also be given in one single line where the urls are
separated by a '|'-character
- as an effect, the crawl profile cannot carry a single start url for
identificaton because it is possible to have more. Therefore the url was
removed from the crawl profile
- this affect all servlets which display a crawl profile: removed the
url field from all there servlets
- to work consistently with several start urls and the other crawl
starts which computed crawl start url lists from sitelists or sitemaps,
the crawl start servlet was restructured completely
- new rules for must-match patterns were created to make it possible
that site crawl starts also work with several crawl starts at once
- 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)
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.
parser. This makes it possible that every type of document can be a
crawl start point, not only text documents or html documents. Testet
this with a pdf document.
