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.
The export file can now be many files, called chunks.
By default still only one chunk is exported.
This function is required in case that the exported files shall be
imported to an elasticsearch/opensearch index. The bulk import function
of elasticsearch/opensearch is limited to 100MB. To make it possible to
import YaCy files, those must be splitted into chunks. Right now we
cannot estimate the chunk size as bytes, only as number of documents.
The user must do experiments to find out the optimum chunk max size,
like 50000 docs per chunk. Try this as first attempt.
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.
because we now start YaCy with a default password (yacy).
This has impact of all function that check the current state of
password-protection that included the empty password situation,
including the warnings to set a password in case that none is set (which
cannot be the case any more).
using the surrogate input process:
- copy the searchlab export file to DATA/SURROGATE/in
- the file is processed automatically and then moved to
DATA/SURROGATE/OUT
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.
