This is almost working with many workarounds:
- run rm lib/yacycore.jar
- run ./gradlew clean build bundleNative
- run ant clean all
- run again rm lib/yacycore.jar
- run ./fixMacBuild.sh
The build is then inside build/mac/YaCy.app
Right now this works so far but it does not have the correct release
number inside.
Target is to make this working for Windows releases and to embedd jre
entirely.
protocol completely
If you set now an empty password, then the http server will not ask to
authentify. This is required for environment where we attach an outside
authentification service like keycloak or similar using authentication
in an ingress proxy.
This change is part of the approach to run YaCy inside of a kubernetes
cluster where we do not want individual authentication of peers and want
to apply a ingress authentication.
variables
To use that feature, set an environment variable with prefix "yacy." and
suffix identical to the yacy configuration attribute name.
Additionaly we implemented a way to set a peer name using the setting
"network.unit.agent". This can therefore now be used to set a peer name
with the java call parameter
-Dyacy.network.unit.agent=anonymous
The purpose for this feature is the ability to set peer names in
mass-deployed kubernetes clusters to the same name to prevent that we
are flooding peer name statistics with auto-deployment-generated names.
This does not affect security because:
- it is going to localhost only
- only users who have already access to the pw hash can do this
- no clear text pw is transmitted because that is not stored anywhere
The switch to basic is required because these commands are required
in the context of hosting on root servers and docker containers
where a password change must be done. But the password shell command
was not working without password which made the concept unusable.
This deficit made it virtually impossible for root server operators
to use YaCy because they had been unable to set up a proper password.
Processing of gzip encoded incoming requests (on /yacy/transferRWI.html
and /yacy/transferURL.html) was no more working since upgrade to Jetty
9.4.12 (see commit 51f4be1).
To prevent any conflicting behavior with Jetty internals, use now the
GzipHandler provided by Jetty to decompress incoming gzip encoded
requests rather than the previously used custom GZIPRequestWrapper.
Fixes issue #249
Relative URLs to CSS stylesheets were not properly rendered when using
the Solr html response writer and the "/solr/collection1/select" entry
point instead of "/solr/select".
SimpleDateFormat must not be used by concurrent threads without
synchronization for parsing or formating dates as it is not thread-safe
(internally holds a calendar instance that is not synchronized).
Prefer now DateTimeFormatter when possible as it is thread-safe without
concurrent access performance bottleneck (does not internally use
synchronization locks).
Initializing Thread names using the Thread constructor parameter is
faster as it already sets a thread name even if no customized one is
given, while an additional call to the Thread.setName() function
internally do synchronized access, eventually runs access check on the
security manager and performs a native call.
Profiling a running YaCy server revealed that the total processing time
spent on Thread.setName() for a typical p2p search was in the range of
seconds.
Solr can provide partial results for example when a processing time
limit (specified with the parameter `timeAllowed`) is exceeded.
Before this fix, getting partial results from an embedded Solr index
resulted in a ClassCastException :
"org.apache.solr.common.SolrDocumentList cannot be cast to
org.apache.solr.response.ResultContext".
- Use the EnhancedXMLResponseWriter only when requested output is "exml"
- Use the Standard Solr writers when possible, for example for json, xml
or javabin output formats
- Return an error when the requested format can not been rendered with
an external Solr server only
Important : this modification is necessary for peers using exclusively
an external Solr server to be reachable as robinson targets in p2p
search, as the binary format ("javabin") is the default Solr exchange
format for peers.
Before this, when a peer requested a remote one attached only to an
external Solr (no embedded one), it ended with "Invalid type" error, as
the remote peer answered with xml although binary format was requested.
