- Above brought up that parser start url parameter, declared as AnchorURL uses only methodes of parent object DigestURL (changed parameter declaration accordingly).
to support the new time parser and search functions in YaCy a high
precision detection of date and time on the day is necessary. That
requires that the time zone of the document content and the time zone of
the user, doing a search, is detected. The time zone of the search
request is done automatically using the browsers time zone offset which
is delivered to the search request automatically and invisible to the
user. The time zone for the content of web pages cannot be detected
automatically and must be an attribute of crawl starts. The advanced
crawl start now provides an input field to set the time zone in minutes
as an offset number. All parsers must get a time zone offset passed, so
this required the change of the parser java api. A lot of other changes
had been made which corrects the wrong handling of dates in YaCy which
was to add a correction based on the time zone of the server. Now no
correction is added and all dates in YaCy are UTC/GMT time zone, a
normalized time zone for all peers.
given css class and extends a given vocabulary with a term consisting
with the text content of the html class tag. Additionally, the term is
included into the semantic facet of the document. This allows the
creation of faceted search to documents without the pre-creation of
vocabularies; instead, the vocabulary is created on-the-fly, possibly
for use in other crawls. If any of the term scraping for a specific
vocabulary is successful on a document, this vocabulary is excluded for
auto-annotation on the page.
To use this feature, do the following:
- create a vocabulary on /Vocabulary_p.html (if not existent)
- in /CrawlStartExpert.html you will now see the vocabularies as column
in a table. The second column provides text fields where you can name
the class of html entities where the literal of the corresponding
vocabulary shall be scraped out
- when doing a search, you will see the content of the scraped fields in
a navigation facet for the given vocabulary
- 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.
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
attribute in the <a> tag for each crawl. This introduces a lot of
changes because it extends the usage of the AnchorURL Object type which
now also has a different toString method that the underlying
DigestURL.toString. It is therefore not advised to use .toString at all
for urls, just just toNormalform(false) instead.
This organizes all urls to be loaded in separate queues for each host.
Each host separates the crawl depth into it's own queue. The primary
rule for urls taken from any queue is, that the crawl depth is minimal.
This produces a crawl depth which is identical to the clickdepth.
Furthermorem the crawl is able to create a much better balancing over
all hosts which is fair to all hosts that are in the queue.
This process will create a very large number of files for wide crawls in
the QUEUES folder: for each host a directory, for each crawl depth a
file inside the directory. A crawl with maxdepth = 4 will be able to
create 10.000s of files. To be able to use that many file readers, it
was necessary to implement a new index data structure which opens the
file only if an access is wanted (OnDemandOpenFileIndex). The usage of
such on-demand file reader shall prevent that the number of file
pointers is over the system limit, which is usually about 10.000 open
files. Some parts of YaCy had to be adopted to handle the crawl depth
number correctly. The logging and the IndexCreateQueues servlet had to
be adopted to show the crawl queues differently, because the host name
is attached to the port on the host to differentiate between http,
https, and ftp services.
- refactored all code which uses URIMetadataRow as standard for word
hash length and word hash ordering and moved that to the class 'Word',
becuase the class URIMetadataRow defined the old metadata data structure
and should be superfluous in the future
- removed unused methods from URIMetadataRow as preparation for further
removal of that class
- 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
for anchor attributes.
- this caused that large portions of the parser code had to be adopted
as well
- added a counter target_order_i for anchor links in webgraph
computation
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
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.
- Rewrote usage of HashMap/Map to concurrent versions (to avoid a
CME=ConcurrentModificationException)
- Rewrote ConnectionInfo (as an example) to use a synchronized iterator
instead of synchronizing an
already synced HashSet (see Collections call)
- This avoids catching CMEs again
- Commented out noisy ConcurrentLog.logException() call
Conflicts:
source/net/yacy/repository/LoaderDispatcher.java
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
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.
