This is a major step because solr removed support for embedded solr
instances in 9.0 and we want to keep it because we want to ship
YaCy with an embedded solr. It was necessary to add parts of solr
code into YaCy to make this migration possible. Further on with
Solr 9.1 they removed even more parts which are required for embedded
operation, therefore we cannot migrate yet further without big
changes.
If you are running a YaCy instance with Solr 8.x, the migration should
be done automatically. If not you require to first migrate to a YaCy
version 1.93 with Solr 8.x to migrate to Solr 8 data.
You can now import zim files into YaCy by simply moving them
to the DATA/SURROGATE/IN folder. They will be fetched and after
parsing moved to DATA/SURROGATE/OUT.
There are exceptions where the parser is not able to identify the
original URL of the documents in the zim file. In that case the file
is simply ignored.
This commit also carries an important fix to the pdf parser and an
increase of the maximum parsing speed to 60000 PPM which should make it
possible to index up to 1000 files in one second.
as soon as the number of requests is > 50, there is a forced delay
of (10 * (requests - 50)) milliseconds. That means that once the number
of DNS requests reach 150, there is a one second delay to each request.
This shall prevent that a remote DNS is flooded with request and
possibly gets damaged.
This is also a fix/enhancement for
https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server/issues/513
instead of loading the solr document, an index only for the last loading
time was created. This prevents that solr has to fetch from its index
while the index is created. Excessive re-loading of documents while
indexing has shown to produce deadlocks, so this should now be
prevented.
a main problem when crawling is long waiting time cuased by crawl-delay
values from robots.txt entries. that attribute is not supported by
google and interpreted by yandex and bing in different ways. In large
crawls there is always one host which blocks the whole crawl with
extreme large values. YaCy now still obeys crawl-delay but limits them
to 10 seconds.
Additionally the blocking logic when loading new robots.txt was analyzed
and a deadlock was removed. Furthermore the construction of new queue
lists was redesigned and it was ensured that always a large list of
different hosts for host-balancing is provided for the loader.
