soft commits, reduced caching size of search events, ensured that solr
results are processed before connection is closed to keep that stuff not
too long in RAM
API recording for this method so it can be repeated automatically. The
index dump generation is now also available for API recording. Added
some synchronization in backend which was necessary for this.
to fail if we access non-permanently available resources (peers, web
pages) and want to fail fast without repeating the same request which is
doomed to fail. The previous appearance of http client connection had a
1-2-4-8-second timeout scheme, which caused that connection attempts
lasted for 16 seconds.
id to be tested, but with a collection of ids. This will cause only a
single call to solr instead of many. The result is a much better
performace when testing the existence of many urls. The effect should
cause very much less IO during index transmission, both on sender and
receiver side.
process counter if an blocking thread dies. Added also a new column in
PerformanceConcurrency_p servlet to show the actual number of concurrent
processes.
This will enable https-access to YaCy, but this feature is disabled by
default using the new server.https=false attribute. This has two
purposes:
- make it easier for everyone to use https (just set server.https=true)
- provide the basis for secure yacy-to-yacy communication in the future
appeared after the declaration of robots allow/deny for the crawler
because the sitemap parser terminated after the allow/deny rules had
been found. Now the parser reads the robots.txt until the end to
discover also sitemap rules at the end of the file.
- removed httpclient 3.1 which has been used by solrj < 4.x.x and is now
not used any more
- fixed some parts in YaCy which used methods from httpclient 3.1
Because the index size is now provided by solr, and the only way to do
that is a match for [* TO *], a size computation is quite complex and
time-consuming. Therefore this patch prevents that the method is called
at all and if necessary puts a DOS-preventing barrier in front of it.
- check geolocation coordinates and accept only those, which are
well-formed
- the solr push process does not stop crawling any more if after 20
requests to Solr Solr does not accept the record. Instead, a severe log
entry asks the user to create a bug request
does not block when long-running updates to solr are made. This is
realized using blocking queues which process all long-running tasks in
the background. Also some bugfixes to existing connectors.
- intruduced raw-queries for the re-introduced byId-Queries (they are
hopefully faster than full edismax queries)
- removed the cached solr connector (testing this) to rely only on the
solr built-in search caches. That should save some RAM (also). We will
see if this is usable.
- added the field in crawl profile
- adopted logging end error management
- adopted duplicate document detection
- added a new rule to the indexing process to reject non-matching
content
- full redesign of the expert crawl start servlet
The new filter field can now be seen in /CrawlStartExpert_p.html at
Section "Document Filter", subsection item "Filter on Content of
Document"
adjusted to smaller and 1-core devices.
- the workflow processor now starts no process at all. these are started
as soon as parser/condenser/indexing queues are filled.
- better abstraction

ability to prepare search tenants which restrict their search results to
a specific collection. The main use for this is to provide tenants to
the yaml4 interface (at this time).

This is necessary for ranking and the norming of references per local
host in the ranking computation.
references_external_i and references_exthosts_i. These can be used to
count and evaluate the number of external links to every web page. An
experimental ranking function can be i.e.:
div(add(references_internal_i,product(references_external_i,references_exthosts_i)),add(clickdepth_i,1))
search interfaces if no other ranking attributes are given
- using the YaCy ranking in the GSA interface only if there was not
given a GSA-style sort attribute
- to avoid confusion about correct ranking attributes, only the default
'0'-ranking profile is used and not scenario-adopted (site, date)
because that should be configurable in the web interface before it is
used actually for ranking.
- memory allocation problem in RowCollection: if memory is too low, do
not to try to increase by 1 because this leads to very long execution
time and at the end to the same OOM as if we allocate the memory at the
moment we need it even if the resource observer states that this memory
is not there. To compensate this, the increase size is reduced.
- no document search this time
- adjusted banner and network to not show 'WORDS' but DHT Chunks. This
is to avoid confusion for robinson peers which do not create Word
Entries
- an existing ranking servlet for solr was extended. It is now possible
to set boost values for fields, boost functions and boost queries.
- The ranking can have different instances, but currently only the first
one is used
- added an abstraction layer for fields which can be used for search and
those fields can be edited in the solr ranking configruation
- the ranking value from solr within the field score is used to combine
remote search requests, which all are created using the same locally
defined boost values
- reduced the number of fields which are used for search (makes it
faster)
- replaced some text fields by string fields (makes indexing faster)
- removed classes which had no use
- made a large number of experiments for a better ranking and created a
temporary setting which prefers hits inside titles
- adjusted also the RWI-based ranking computation to 'prefer title'
- made special cases like for portal search where no post-processing and
post-ranking is wanted: this keeps the original ranking order as done by
Solr
- fixed many bugs with old settings for ranking
- removed unused solr access classes
- made snippet generation for documents aus YaCy RWI/DHT concurrent (as
it was before the search process removation)
- reduced the number of remote results in settings file because the
processing of such mass documents add is too CPU-intensive (in Solr)
are exactly at only that size which is needed to present the current
search result page. This will also cause that next solr request are made
automatically during switching to next pages.
- removed 'worker' processes
- no internal time-out behaviour: methods either are successful or
return null
- waiting is only done on top-level
- removed snippet-production; this is replaced by solr snippets
- removed statistics based on solr size queries (they had been VERY
long); the statistics (like suggestions or tag cloud) are now again
based on the old but very fast RWI index. In portal or intranet mode the
RWI index is usually switched off; if you like to have statistics again
then you must switch on the rwis again in this mode.
- fixed many bugs regarding correct page counter
index (new solr core webgraph) .. this is now off by default
- completely redesigned this servlet
- added description how to attach a remote solr
- adjusted naming of servlet and menues
- moved 'lazy initialization' attribut from IndexSchema to
IndexFederated (this is a general option) back again.

also moved portalsearch-dev to yacy-portalsearch to be able to fix
problems with new attachment to solr of the search widget
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.
structure, but is not filled yet. To have the opportunity of a second
core, multi-core functionality had to be implemented to the
deep-embedded solr:
- migrated the solr_40 directory content to a subdirectory
'collection1'; the previously used default core is now called
collection1
- added solr_40/webgraph subdirectory as second core
- added a servlet configuration for the second core 'webgraph' in
/IndexSchema_p.html
- added instance handling as addition to solr connections: all solr
connectors are now instances of an solr 'instance' object; this required
a complete re-design of the solr embedding
- migrated also caching and sharding ontop of new instance handling
- migrated the search apis to handle now the access to a specific core,
the default core named 'collection1'
- migrated the remote solr search interface to access shards of cores;
for the yacy remote search the default core is now called 'solr'; using
the peer address as solr address
- migrated the solr backup and restore process: old backups cannot be
used after this migration!
- redesign of solr instance handling in all methods which access the
instances: they cannot hold copies of these instances any more; the must
retrieve the actuall connection object every time they want to write to
it (this solves also some bugs when switching the index/network)
- added another schema 'solr.webgraph.schema', the old solr.keys.list is
replaced by solr.collection.schema
multiple solr cores instead of just one. Therefore it is now necessary
to distuingish between solr server connections (called an 'Instance')
and a connection to a single solr core. One Instance may now have
multiple connector classes assigned to it, each connecting to a single
core.
To support multiple cores it is also necessary to distinguish between
the connection configuration and the configuration of the index schema.
We will have multiple schema configurations in the future, each for
every solr core. This caused that the IndexFederated servlet had to be
split into two parts, the new Servlet for the Schema editor is now in
the IndexSchema Servlet.
Solr search interface in such way that it is possible to use this
interface for the yacyinteractive search. This search interface is now
much faster using the Solr search directly. For the Solr interface it
was necessary to create a translation from the YaCy search modifiers to
the Solr facet selection. This was added in such a way that it becomes
generic for the normal YaCy search and as a on-top evaluation for Solr
queries.

- move jetty*.jar to test library
- move SolrServlet.main as is to test, add also a junit test simulating main
- add build.xml cleanup for EmbeddedSolrConnectorTest created test/DATA

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.
- when using a site operator search for a domain where the domain has a
www prefix, also the domain without the www is enclosed
- when using a site operator search for a domain where the domain has no
www prefix, also the domain with the www in enclosed
- in the host navigator, all domains with and without a www prefix are
accumulated. That means that the host navigator does never show a host
with a www prefix.
This should prevent usage mistakes of the site operator.

The feature was not called 'haslink' but called 'inlink' to have a
analogous naming like 'inurl'. This causes now that you can search for
words in links of the document, like:
* inlink:yacy
searches all documents which link to pages which have an 'yacy' in the
url.
- migrates all entries in old urldb
Metadata coordinate (lat / lon) NumberFormatException still relative often (see excerpt below),
- added try/catch for URIMetadataRow (seems not to be needed in URIMetaDataNode, as Solr internally checks for number format)
- removed possible typ conversion for lat() / lon() comparison with 0.0f, changed to 0.0 (leaving it to the compiler/optimizer to choose number format)

- added additional config page (ConfigSearchPage_p) for easy setup of search page layout (to not overload ConfigPortal page)
- currently redundant setting with part of ConfigPortal page
- added missing config for filetype and protocol navigator
- adjusted init of SearchEvent to check navigation config setting
- renamed RankigProcess.getTopicNavigator to getTopics (to distiguish between added SearchEvent.getTopicNavigator)
metadata and old rwi and for the citation index. The important
advancement is the separation of the citation index deletion because
that index is responsible for the linkdepth calculation. Now a search
index can be deleted without the citation index and that should cause
that less clickdepths must be post-processed.
This attribute can be used for ranking and for other purpose (demand by
customer)
The click depth is computed in two steps:
- during indexing the current fill-state of the reverse link index is
used to backtrack the current page to the root page. The length of that
backtrack is the clickdepth. But this does not discover the shortest
click depth. To get this, a second process to check again is needed
- added a process tag that can be used to do operations on the existing
index after a crawl; i.e. calculation the shortest clickpath. Added a
field to control this operation but not a method to operate on this.
- added a visualization of the clickpath length in the host browser
- fixed conflict in htroot/yacysearch.java
- removed nedres check because that causes that the remote server is not
called at all in most cases (local index has already results but we want
more)
- fixed a regex bug (a '=' too much)
- urlcitationindex != null check added to ResultEntry.referencesCount
- plus other places where conflicting procedure was used (and urlcitationindex not already checked != null)
- 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
that enables viewing of images for intranet SMB servers.
- added a filter search for protocol, tld and ext again; otherwise p2p
search produces a lot of rubbish
- an event type (once, regular) can be selected
- for this event type, a fixed time can be selected. This may be either
directly after startup or at one of the full hours at a day (==25
options)
The main point about this feature is the opportunity to start an action
directly after startup. That makes it possible to create YaCy
distributions which, after started at the first time, start to index
parts of the intranet/internet by itself.

clicks which are necessary to get from the portal of a host to a
specific document. At this time, only the start document is flagged with
clickdepth '0', all other with '-1'. To get the actual clickdepth, a
process must use crawled information to collect the actual number of
clicks. This will be added in another/next step.
INCOMING links to the corresponding web page. This information is taken
from the reverse link index (a 'little sister' of the RWI index).
- this field can be of use to enhance the ranking because a web page
with more incoming links can be more more important than others. But
this is not true for typical link pages like menues. Therefore the
number of outgoing links is needed.
- added a new solr attribute 'bf' to solr queries which is a boost
function extension. this field can contain a formula which comuptes the
boost according to given field values. After some experiments the
following forumla is now default:
div(add(1,references_i),pow(add(1,inboundlinkscount_i),1.6))^0.4
This takes the number of references and the inbound links. Further
experiments are needed to enhance that forumula.
