JVM registers each file in a list regardless of already deleted and never
cleans up the list during runtime.
This accumulates to a considerable amount of mem during large crawls and/or
long uptime.
To tackle this, all temp files are now created in a subdir of java.io.tmpdir
and the jvm tmpdir property is set to this subdir, which is deleted by
code on shutdown.
Additionally let pdfParser use this tmp subdir too.
- fixed superfluous space in query field list
- fixed filter query logic
- removed look-ahead query which caused that each new search page
submitted two solr queries
- fixed random solr result orders in case that the solr score was equal:
this was then re-ordered by YaCy using the document hash which came from
the solr object and that appeared to be random. Now the hash of the url
is used and the score is additionally modified by the url length to
prevent that this particular case appears at all.
as we flag if a peer is accesible via https, we need to know the port if we want to use is (e.g. for interYaCy communication)
start to provide / tansport the port by recording it in peers dna.
- add https link on the Network.html lock symbol
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.
interface to distinguish rich and poor document data.
This also reverts some changes from commit
796770e070 because the firstSeen database
is the wrong method to distinguish these types of data
To protect rich index data (full resource) from overwriting by metadata gathered during remote search,
the newly introduced "firstSeen" index is used to differentiate between full-resource-doc and metadata,
as a "firstSeen" entry is only added on store's of full-resource-docs (during crawl or remote search).
- date navigation
The date is taken from the CONTENT of the documents / web pages, NOT
from a date submitted in the context of metadata (i.e. http header or
html head form). This makes it possible to search for documents in the
future, i.e. when documents contain event descriptions for future
events.
The date is written to an index field which is now enabled by default.
All documents are scanned for contained date mentions.
To visualize the dates for a specific search results, a histogram
showing the number of documents for each day is displayed. To render
these histograms the morris.js library is used. Morris.js requires also
raphael.js which is now also integrated in YaCy.
The histogram is now also displayed in the index browser by default.
To select a specific range from a search result, the following modifiers
had been introduced:
from:<date>
to:<date>
These modifiers can be used separately (i.e. only 'from' or only 'to')
to describe an open interval or combined to have a closed interval. Both
dates are inclusive. To select a specific single date only, use the
'to:' - modifier.
The histogram shows blue and green lines; the green lines denot weekend
days (saturday and sunday).
Clicking on bars in the histogram has the following reaction:
1st click: add a from:<date> modifier for the date of the bar
2nd click: add a to:<date> modifier for the date of the bar
3rd click: remove from and date modifier and set a on:<date> for the bar
When the on:<date> modifier is used, the histogram shows an unlimited
time period. This makes it possible to click again (4th click) which is
then interpreted as a 1st click again (sets a from modifier).
The display feature is NOT switched on by default; to switch it on use
the /ConfigSearchPage_p.html servlet.
This is intended for peers who want to participate in the P2P network but don't wish to load/fill-up their index with metadata of every received search result.
The DHT transfer is not effected by this option (and will work as usual, so that a peer disabling the new store to index switch still receives and holds the metadata according to DHT rules).
Downside for the local peer is that search speed will not improve if search terms are only avail. remote or by quick hits in local index.
To be able to improve the local index a Click-Servlet option was added additionally.
If switched on, all search result links point to this servlet, which forwards the users browser (by html header) to the desired page and feeds the page to the fulltext-index.
The servlet accepts a parameter defining the action to perform (see defaults/web.xml, index, crawl, crawllinks)
The option check-boxes are placed in ConfigPortal.html
parsing into individual pages and add them all using different URLs.
These constructed urls are generated from the source url with an
appended page=<pagenumber> attribute to the url get/post properties.
This will distinguish the different page entries. The search result list
will then replace the post parameter with a url anchor # mark which
causes that the original url is presented in the search result. These
URLs can be opened directly on the correct page using pdf.js which is
now built-in into firefox. That means: if you find a search hit on page
5 and click on the search result, firefox will open the pdf viewer and
shows page 5.
generated dynamically which will stay static in the future. This applies
mainly to the search result favicon in front of search hits. These icons
will now be generated once, but then caches in the browser. There is
also a YaCy-internal cache for these icons which had prevented the
re-generation of the icons in YaCy, but this cache is now superfluous
since the browser should not call the servlet ViewImage again.
hold a date for each URL to record when a url was first seen. This is
then used to overwrite the modification date for urls upon recrawl in
case that the first-seen date is before the latest document date. This
behaviour is necessary due to the common behaviour of content management
systems which attach always the current date to all documents. Using the
firstSeen database it is possible to approximate a real first document
creation date in case that the crawler starts frequently for the same
domain. As a result the search results ordered by date have a much
better quality and the usage of YaCy as search agent for latest news has
a better quality.
*) will try other ports if YaCy standard ports are not available
*) distinguish between internal and external port (not sure if this
works 100%)
Still to add: propery in config to enter own external port (in case of
manually configured NAT)
removed preferred IPv4 in start options and added a new field IP6 in
peer seeds which will contain one or more IPv6 addresses. Now every peer
has one or more IP addresses assigned, even several IPv6 addresses are
possible. The peer-ping process must check all given and possible IP
addresses for a backping and return the one IP which was successful when
pinging the peer. The ping-ing peer must be able to recognize which of
the given IPs are available for outside access of the peer and store
this accordingly. If only one IPv6 address is available and no IPv4,
then the IPv6 is stored in the old IP field of the seed DNA.
Many methods in Seed.java are now marked as @deprecated because they had
been used for a single IP only. There is still a large construction site
left in YaCy now where all these deprecated methods must be replaced
with new method calls. The 'extra'-IPs, used by cluster assignment had
been removed since that can be replaced with IPv6 usage in p2p clusters.
All clusters must now use IPv6 if they want an intranet-routing.
hour. The table can be shown with
http://localhost:8090/Tables_p.html?table=stats
The entries have the following meaning:
aM: activeLastMonth
aW: activeLastWeek
aD: activeLastDay
aH: activeLastHour
cC: countConnected (Active Senior)
cD: countDisconnected (Passive Senior)
cP: countPotential (Junior)
cR: count of the RWI entries
cI: size of the index (number of documents)
The entry keys are abbreviated to reduce the space in the table as the
name is written again for every row.
This is the beginning of a 'yacystats' micro-alternative als built-in
function in YaCy. Graphics may follow after some time if enough test
data is available.
- default mySeed.ip to hostip in SeedDB.initMySeed() if Intranetmode
this allows to become senior status in intranet hosted search network with view peers,
otherwise peer would stay junior because of default init with loopback ip as public (dna) ip.
'cloud' was a bad idea. Changed also the accumulation process for peer
targets so that every dht chunk is not assigned the set of redundant
targets but they are assigned to redundant targets individually. This
enhances the granularity of the target accumulation and should enhance
the efficiency of the process. Finally the dht protocol client was
enriched with the ability to remove the 'accept remote index' flag from
peers or remove peers completely if they do not answer at all.
was optional and another alternative metadata store was available. Since
that store is now removed, Solr is always available (internally or
externally)
in peer hash hashing. This should not change anything if java casts long
to int by masking with 0xFFFFFFFFL but you never know. The important
thing is, that the hashCode() should not return numbers that have the
same order as the hash code order because hashing of seeds is used to
remove the order in some places.
- removed the default version blacklist regex from init (for future versions)
!!! left existing update blacklist setting untouched !!!
(existing installation wanting autoupdate for 1.71 need to change blacklist in ConfigUpdate_p.html)
- moved old blacklist patch to migration.java
