This variable had a very confusing name, and was dangerously easy to use in the wrong place with the result of getting something that only works as expected half the time.
Ideally this class needs an overhaul, the assumptions it makes about domain names aren't great.
This had the knock-on effect of breaking the anchor tag loading in the processor for a lot of domains, since they'd grab domains for the wrong domain name.
In encyclopedia, add a class "mw-content-text" that the WikiSpecialization class is looking for during pruning to give the articles a more fair treatment.
Also add generator keywords based on the generator type provided, to ensure that these documents show up in appropriate filters.
Further, add a new document flag value 'Sideloaded' to be able to distinguish these entries.
This is caused by a resource contention with the query code. The proper way to fix this is to use some form of synchronization, but that will slow the code down. So we just hammer it a few times and let the GC deal with the problem if it fails. Not optimal, but fast.
The code now intercepts and deals with potential exceptions during the parsing of search parameters. This is in response to constant bad requests from bots which were cluttering the logs. A catch clause is added that suppresses these errors and redirects to the base URL.
The site info view can't blindly assume that every website supports https. To figure out which schema to use when linking to a site, execute a single-result search for site:domain.name and then grab the schema off the result.
To allow this, a count parameter is introduced to doSiteSearch() in SearchOperator.
There really is no fantastic place to put this logic, but we need to remove entries with an X-Robots-Tags header where that header indicates it doesn't want to be crawled by Marginalia.
We want to mute some of these records so that they don't produce documents, but in some cases we want a document to be produced for accounting purposes.
Added improved tests that reach for known resources on www.marginalia.nu to test the behavior when encountering bad content type and 404s.
The commit also adds some safety try-catch:es around the charset handling, as it may sometimes explode when fed incorrect data, and we do be guessing...
This commit updates CrawlingThenConvertingIntegrationTest with additional tests for invalid, redirecting, and blocked domains. Improvements have also been made to filter out irrelevant entries in ParquetSerializableCrawlDataStream.
This update includes the addition of timestamps to the parquet format for crawl data, as extracted from the Warc stream.
The parquet format stores the timestamp as a 64 bit long, seconds since unix epoch, without a logical type. This is to avoid having to do format conversions when writing and reading the data.
This parquet field populates the timestamp field in CrawledDocument.
Add an optional new field to CrawledDocument containing information about whether the domain has cookies. This was previously on the CrawledDomain object, but since the WarcFormat requires us to write a WarcInfo object at the start of a crawl rather than at the end, this information is unobtainable when creating the CrawledDomain object.
Also fix a bug in the deduplication logic in the DomainProcessor class that caused a test to break.
This information is then propagated to the parquet file as a boolean.
For documents that are copied from the reference, use whatever value we last saw. This isn't 100% deterministic and may result in false negatives, but permits websites that used cookies but have stopped to repent and have the change reflect in the search engine more quickly.
This commit includes mostly exception handling, error propagation, a few bug fixes and minor changes to log formatting. The CrawlDelayTimer, HTTP 429 responses and IOException responses are now more accurately handled.
A non-standard WarcXEntityRefused WARC record has also been introduced, essentially acting as a rejected 'response' with different semantics.
Besides these, several existing features have been refined, such as URL encoding, crawl depth incrementing and usage of Content-Length headers.
This commit further cleans up the warc->parquet conversion. It fixes issues with redirect handling in WarcRecorder, adds support information about redirects and errors due to probe failure.
It also refactors the fetch result, body extraction and content type abstractions.
This commit cleans up the warc->parquet conversion. Records with a http status other than 200 are now included.
The commit also fixes a bug where the robots.txt parser would be fed the full HTTP response (and choke), instead of the body.
The DocumentBodyExtractor code has also been cleaned up, and now offers a way of just getting the byte[] representation for later processing, as conversion to and from strings is a bit wasteful.
This is not hooked into anything yet. The change also makes modifications to the parquet-floor library to support reading and writing of byte[] arrays. This is desirable since we may in the future want to support inputs that are not text-based, and codifying the assumption that each document is a string will definitely cause us grief down the line.
This finally resolves issues with gradle confusing intellij by complaining about java incompatibilities (that were never a problem), so that it doesn't report test errors correctly.
This commit is in a pretty rough state. It refactors the crawler fairly significantly to offer better separation of concerns. It replaces the zstd compressed json files used to store crawl data with WARC files entirely, and the converter is modified to be able to consume this data. This works, -ish.
There appears to be some bug relating to reading robots.txt, and the X-Robots-Tag header is no longer processed either.
A problem is that the WARC files are a bit too large. It will probably be likely to introduce a new format to store the crawl data long term, something like parquet; and use WARCs for intermediate storage to enable the crawler to be restarted without needing a recrawl.
At this stage, the crawler will use the WARCs to resume a crawl if it terminates incorrectly.
This is a WIP commit, since the warc files are not fully incorporated into the work flow, they are deleted after the domain is crawled.
The commit also includes fairly invasive refactoring of the crawler classes, to accomplish better separation of concerns.
This is the same as the prefix for the IP address, but I don't think that substantially matters, the as two have such different namespaces there can be no confusion.
In this commit, GeoIP-related classes are refactored and relocated to a common library as they are shared across multiple services.
The crawler is refactored to enable the GeoIpBlocklist to use the new GeoIpDictionary as the base of its decisions.
The converter is modified ot query this data to add a geoip:-keyword to documents to permit limiting a search to the country of the hosting server.
The commit also adds due BY-SA attribution in the search engine footer for the source of the IP geolocation data.
This commit also fixes a bug in the loader where the IP field wouldn't always populate as intended, and refactors the DomainInformationService to use significantly fewer SQL queries.
The previous version used a personalized pagerank centering on a few academic domains, but this didn't work very well and most results were not very academia-centric.
This reduces the impact of restarting the search service, as the site information takes a few minutes to load during which it's not available. It also permits exposing this information via API in the future if there is interest in this.
The assistant service was also modified to do a late load of the suggestions trie, as this is a major contributor to its start-up time.
Finally, some changes were made to the client library, a new get() method was added that takes a TypeToken to allow deserialization of generics such as List<Foo>, and the scheduler was also modified to use virtual threads.
Refactored the getDocumentsStream method in EncyclopediaMarginaliaNuSideloader to use the newly extracted ProcessingIterator class that encapsulates processing a stream of results from e.g a database query in parallel and returning the computed results as an iterator.
The iterator was also improved on to be more reliable, previous versions of the logic would sometimes deadlock due to false positives in hasMore().
The commit updates EncyclopediaMarginaliaNuSideloader to include the AnchorTextKeywords in processing documents, aiding search result relevance.
It also removes old test-related functionality and a large but fairly useless test previously used to debug a specific problem, to the detriment of the overall code quality.
A race condition was found where precession actors would sometimes skip a step, because when invoking ExecutorRemoteActor.getState(), it would get the last 'OK' actor state from a previous run of the actor!
To avoid this, the trigger method was changed from returning a boolean to the message ID, negative if an error occurred, to be passed to getState to select only messages that pertain to the present or future runs.
