java.lang.Error:s were not handled properly, leading to mismatch in the bookkeeping of the FSMs. These are now caught, acted on, and re-thrown.
MqSynchronousInbox also no longer assumes all exceptions are InterruptedException.
This commit extracts several previously hardcoded configuration properties, and makes then available through system.properties.
The documentation is updated to reflect the change.
Dead code was also removed in the process. CrawlSpecGenerator is left feeling a bit over-engineered still, since it's built for a more general case, where all other implementations but the current one are removed, but we'll leave it like this for now as it's fairly readable still.
Previously, in order to load encyclopedia data into the search engine, it was necessary to use the encyclopedia.marginalia.nu converter to first create a .db-file. This isn't very ergonomic, so parts of that code-base was lifted in as a 3rd party library, and conversion from .zim to .db is now done automatically.
The output file name is based on the original filename, plus a crc32 hash and a .db-ending, to ensure we can recycle the data on repeat loads.
The change adds a new column to the MESSAGE_QUEUE table called AUDIT_RELATED_ID. This field is populated transparently, using a dictionary mapping Thread IDs to Message IDs, populated by the inbox handlers.
The existing RELATED_ID field has too many semantics associated with them,
among other things the FSM code uses them this field in tracking state changes.
The change set also improves the consistency of inbox names. The IndexClient was buggy and populated its outbox with a UUID. This is fixed. All Service2Service outboxes are now prefixed with 'pp:' to make them even easier to differentiate.
It's a confusing default behavior.
This was off for nodes n>1 before as a bandaid since querying indices with no data caused delays and errors. This has been fixed now, so there's no need to do this anymore!
This improves query times, and gets rid of exceptions in the logs when one of the index nodes doesn't have any data loaded, yet is configured to answer queries.
In some scenarios, such as when restoring storage items from json-manifest on db failure, the file storage view would present the items in a non-chronological order. Added a sort() operation to mitigate this.
Use a system.properties file to configure the system. This is loaded statically by MainClass or ProcessMainClass. Update the property names to be more consistent, and update the documentations to reflect the changes.
