The changeset also makes the control service responsible for flyway migrations. This helps reduce the number of places the database configuration needs to be spread out. These automatic migrations can be disabled with -DdisableFlyway=true.
The commit also adds curl to the docker container, to enable docker health checks and interdependencies.
The new converter logic assumes that the crawl data is ordered where the domain record comes first, and then a sequence of document records. This is true for the new parquet format, but not for the old zstd/gson format.
To make the new converter compatible with the old format, a specialized reader is introduced that scans for the domain record before running through the sequence of document records; and presenting them in the new order.
This is slower than just reading the file beginning to end, so in order to retain performance when this ordering isn't necessary, a CompatibilityLevel flag is added to CrawledDomainReader, permitting the caller to decide how compatible the data needs to be.
Down the line when all the old data is purged, this should be removed, as it amounts to technical debt.
The processor normally retains the domain data in memory after processing to be able to do additional site-wide analysis. This works well, except there are a number of outlier websites that have an absurd number of documents that can rapidly fill up the heap of the process.
These websites now receive a simplified treatment. This is executed in the converter batch writer thread. This is slower, but the documents will not be persisted in memory.
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.
* 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.
* Break apart CrawlerRetreiver
* Break apart HttpFetcher into an interface and impl for testing sanity
* Add special logic for Lemmy, Mediawiki and Discourse to not waste requests on paths that aren't interesting.
