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 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.
The converter was not properly initiating the external links for each domain, causing an NPE in conversion. This needs to be loaded later since we don't know the domain we're processing until we've seen it in the crawl data.
Also made some refactorings to make finding converter bugs easier, and finding the related domain less awkward from the SerializableCrawlData interface.
This functionality needs to be accessed by the WarcSideloader, which is in the converter. The resultant microlibrary is tiny, but I think in this case it's justifiable.
