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.
- new limit to use the table copy (instead of flag): 400MB available. If
less is available, then a copy is never used. If more is available, then
it can be used if there is a remaining space of at least 200MB
- flush caches more often: flush the Digest cache

The search can now be configured with a non-display host list.
the search will always exlude the given list of host unless they are
requested directly using the host navigation
- config string for chinese
- do not copy the language file to DATA/LOCALE any more (and do not use
them there, this is really confusing for new translators)
- added visibility of metadata and parser in search results since that shows what YaCy can do in a nice way

You can toggle between previous (standard) and new (generation) strategy at PerformanceMemory_p.html.
The generation memory strategy is implemented with the objective of running more robust
but with the cost of early stopping some tasks (eg. dht) while running low on memory.
This new strategy does respect the generational way a heap is organized on most used jvms.
These changes run fine on my 3 peers for weeks now, but as I'm human, I may fail.
Please be carefull using generation memory strategy and report errors by naming
OS, jvm and java_args.

- many speed/performance hacks
- added solr charding and new charding web interface
- added option to switch off the yacy index when using solr
- added new fail-url categories which are used to make a distinction which fail-urls to be sent to solr
- refactoring/renaming of some method names to distinguish host/url hashes better
- a large number of bug/npe fixes

- added more properties to solr index
- refactoring
- more constants in switchboard
- fix for some NPEs
- recognition of more images
- removed synchronization in HandleMap (obviously not necessary?)
- added a nolocal configuration to remove excessive dns lookup (works only on allip - default off). Indexes produced with this setting are all flagged with 'local' and are (on purpose) not usable for freeworld because they will be rejected as beeing local.

YaCy supports now the storage to remote solr indexes.
More federated storage (and search) methods may follow.
The remote index scheme is the same as produced by the SolrCell; see
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler
Because this default scheme is used, the default example scheme can be used as solr configuration
This is also the same scheme that solr uses if documents are imported with apache tika.
federated solr storage is switched off by default.
To use this, do the following:
- set federated.service.solr.indexing.enabled = true
- download solr from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/solr/
- extract the solr (3.1) package, 'cd example' and start solr with 'java -jar start.jar'
- start yacy and then start a crawler. The crawler will fill both, YaCy and solr indexes.
- to check whats in solr after indexing, open http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/
Until now it is not possible to use the solr index to search with YaCy in that solr index.
This functionality is now available for two reasons:
1) to compare the functionality of Solr and YaCy and to compare the search speed
2) to use YaCy as a search appliance for people who need a crawler or other source harvesting methods
that YaCy provides (like dublin core reading, wikimedia dump reading, rss feed reader etc) if people still
want to use solr instead of YaCy.

- removed configuration button for 'search only for admin' from index.html and added this to ConfigPortal
- added configuration of link verification options (iffresh, cacheonly, nocache, ifexist) to ConfigPortal
- added configuration of navigation options to ConfigPortal
- added an option to switch off automatic index cleaning in case that a link verification method fails

This has two aspects: the user who searches may want to increase these values to get more results and more load on the remote side and the user of the server which is accessed for this search may want to restrict the load. Both sides can now be configured. The server-site maximum load parameters are defined by a network definition and the client-side search request load can be defined by each user individually but when the remote search is done the requested service is limited to the network definition.
You can find now in the network definition file:
network.unit.remotesearch.maxcount and network.unit.remotesearch.maxtime
and in the yacy.conf file:
remotesearch.maxcount and remotesearch.maxtime
There is currently no web interface to define the client-side remote search attributes, please set them manually

- filtering out too old peers when reading seed lists (limit is now 240 minutes)
- added concurrent host names resolving in front of the http client because the http client uses the java built-in DNS resolve which is not multithreading-safe (i have seen deadlocks in thread dumps showing that this bug in jdk is still there)

- if YaCy is started with the option -gui, it is not in headless mode. Then the java 1.6 browse method is used if all other methods fail
- in linux, the path /etc/alternatives/www-browser is used if no firefox is installed

- some restructuring of the document counting and logging structures was necessary
- better abstraction of CrawlProfiles
- added deletion of logs to the index deletion option (if the index is deleted using the servlets) which is necessary to reset the domain counters for the page limitation
- more refactoring to get the LibraryProvider more clean
- some refactoring of the Condenser class

- the own seed file gets the lead for storage of the peer name
- exchanged default peer name generation method with one that does not use the local ip
- default peer names are now strings starting with '_anon'
- added another switch to suppress forwarding to ConfigBasic if the name was already changed
- replaced all usages of the yacy.conf peerName with access to the local seed
- changes to the peer name are now applied directly and not after the next peer ping

- this recording is then used to redirect from the Status.html page to BasicConfig in case that servlet was never submitted
- this acts as an addition to the new default pop-up page 'index.html' which offers an administration link to Status.html. For a first-time user this then redirects directly to the former start page BasicConfig.html

- adjusted top menu on search page (shows less stuff and now also the network graphics)
- adjusted the network page (looks better in when showing no other navigation on top)

instead, a setting at ConfigPortal.html can be made to define if the topmenu shall be shown at these pages or if there is no naviagtion at all.

- renamed YaCys search result modifications keywords for RECENT, NEAR and language: to the blekko slashtag naming scheme. YaCy now supports the following blekko-like slash built-in slashtags:
/date
- for search results ordered by date (most recent up)
/near
- for search results where search words appear near to each other (closest up)
/language/<lang>
- for a sorting by language where the wanted language gets up. Example: /language/de

this was never used and extended in the last years. The resulting YBR ranking criteria
is still a good idea and will be used in the future. Possible generation methods for YBR
ranking are:
- "trust-rank" using the link structure as can be discovered in a single crawl (idea from FSCONS)
- "block-rank" calculated from the local link structure
- a distributed "block-rank" using the xml API to the link structure from other peers
