Adds experimental sideloading support for pusshift.io style reddit data. This dataset is limited to data older than 2023, due to licensing changes making large-scale data extraction difficult.
Since the median post quality on reddit is not very good, he sideloader will only load a subset of self-texts and top-level comments that have sufficiently many upvotes. Empirically this appears to mostly return good matches, even if it probably could index more.
Tests were written for this, but all require local reddit data which can't be distributed with the source code. If these can not be found, the tests will shortcircuit as OK. They're mostly there for debugging, and it's fine if they don't always run.
The change also refactors the sideloading a bit since it was a bit messy.
It's a mistake to let it bleed into Title, as this is a high quality signal. We'll co-opt Site and SiteAdjacent instead to reinforce the ExternalLink when count is high.
Removed the need to have to run an external tool to pre-process the data in order to load stackexchange-style data into the search engine.
Removed the tool itself.
This stirred up some issues with the dependencies, that were due to both third-party:ing xz and importing it as a dependency. This has been fixed, and :third-party:xz was removed.
* Added new (optional) model file in $WMSA_HOME/data/atags.parquet
* Converter gets a component for creating a projection of its domains onto the full atags parquet file
* New WordFlag ExternalLink
* These terms are also for now flagged as title words
* Fixed a bug where Title words aliased with UrlDomain words
* Fixed a bug in the encyclopedia sideloader that gave everything too high topology ranking
... also move some common configuration into the root build.gradle-file.
Support for JDK21 in lombok is a bit sketchy at the moment, but it seems to work. This upgrade is kind of important as the new index construction really benefits from Arena based lifecycle control over off-heap memory.
This is a system-wide change. The index used to have a lexicon, mapping words to wordIds using a large in-memory hash table. This made index-construction easier, but it
also added a fairly significant RAM penalty to both the index service and the loader.
The new design moves to 64 bit word identifiers calculated using the murmur hash of the keyword, and an index construction based on merging smaller indices.
It also became necessary half-way through to upgrade guice as its error reporting wasn't *quite* compatible with JDK20.
