The change deprecates the 'algorithm' field from the domain ranking set configuration. Instead, the algorithm will be chosen based on whether influence domains are provided, and whether similarity data is present.
The domain ranking code was admittedly a bit of a clown fiesta; at the same time buggy, fragile and inscrutable.
Migrating over to use JGraphT to store the link graph
when doing rankings, and using their PageRank implementation. Also added a modified version that does PersonalizedPageRank.
Continues 467ba5be20 by breaking out a constant with the name of the primary ranking set. Also ensures it doesn't get spuriously logged as updated during the secondary updating pass.
This change splits the previous 'repartition' action into two steps, one for recalculating the domain rankings, and one for recalculating the other ranking sets. Since only the first is necessary before the index construction, the rest can be delayed until after...
To avoid issues in handling the shotgun blast of MqNotifications, Service was switched over to use a synchronous message queue instead of an asynchronous one.
The change also modifies the behavior so that only node 1 will push the changes to the EC_DOMAIN database table, to avoid unnecessary db locks and contention with the loader.
Additionally, the change fixes a bug where the index construction code wasn't actually picking up the rankings data.
Since the index construction used to be performed by the index-service, merely saving the data to memory was enough for it to be accessible within the index-construction logic, but since it's been broken out into a separate process, the new process just injected an empty DomainRankings object instead.
To fix this, DomainRankings can now be persisted to disk, and a pre-loaded version of the object is injected into the index-construction process.
The production configuration assumes all content of interest is 7 bit ASCII, and makes a series of optimizations based on this. This assumption holds poorly in the wild.
Adding an **experimental** system property 'system.noFlattenUnicode', that when set to TRUE, will disable this behavior.
IMPORTANT!! The index needs to be re-constructed when this flag is changed, as different hash functions are selected for the keyword->identifier mappings.
This avoids concurrent access errors. This is especially important when using Unsafe-based LongArrays, since we have concurrent access to the underlying memory-mapped file. If pull the rug from under the caller by closing the file, we'll get a SIGSEGV. Even with a "safe" MemorySegment, we'll get ugly stacktraces if we close the file while a thread is still accessing it.
So we spin up a thread that sleeps for a minute before actually unmapping the file, allowing any ongoing requests to wrap up. This is 100% a hack, but it lets us get away with doing this without adding locks to the index readers.
Since this is "just" mmapped data, and this operation happens optimistically once a month, it should be safe if the call gets lost.
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.
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 EC_DOMAIN_LINK MariaDB table stores links between domains. This is problematic, as both updating and querying this table is very slow in relation to how small the data is (~10 GB). This slowness is largely caused by the database enforcing ACID guarantees we don't particularly need.
This changeset replaces the EC_DOMAIN_LINK table with a file in each index node containing 32 bit integer pairs corresponding to links between two domains. This file is loaded in memory in each node, and can be queried via the Query Service.
A migration step is needed before this file is created in each node. Until that happens, the actual data is loaded from the EC_DOMAIN_LINK table, but accessed as though it was a file.
The changeset also migrates/renames the links.db file to documents.db to avoid naming confusion between the two.
There was as bug where if the input of ResultValuator.normalize() was negative, it was truncated to zero. This meant that "bad" results always rank the same. The penalty factor "overallPart" was moved outside of the function and was re-weighted to accomplish a better normalization.
Some of the weights were also re-adjusted based on what appears to produce better results. Needs evaluation.
This is for filtering results on how many times the term appears on the domain. The intent is to be beneficial in creating e.g. a domain search feature. It's also very helpful when tracking down spammy domains.
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.
This update includes the integration of the jwarc library and implements support for Warc file sideloading, as a first trial integration with this library.
The repartition endpoint was mis-addressing its mqapi notifications, omitting the proper nodeId. In fixing this, it became apparent that having both @MqRequest and @MqNotification is a serious footgun, and the two should be unified into a single API where the caller isn't burdened with knowledge of the remote end's implementation specifics.
* 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
This was caused by a bug in the binary search algorithm causing it to sometimes return positive values when encoding a search miss.
It was also necessary to get rid of the vestiges of the old LongArray and IntArray classes to make this fix doable.
This turned out to be very difficult to do in small isolated steps.
* Design overhaul of the control gui using bootstrap
* Move the actors out of control-service into to a new executor-service, that can be run on multiple nodes
* Add node-affinity to message queue
This makes index complete in the sense that you can deploy an index instance and build a complete separate application on top of it, without having to go through the Marginalia-laden search service.
* (index-reverse) Parallel construction of the reverse indexes.
* (array) Remove wasteful calculation of numDistinct before merging two sorted arrays.
* (index-reverse) Force changes to disk on close, reduce logging.
* (index-reverse) Clean up merging process and add back logging
* (run) Add a conservative default for INDEX_CONSTRUCTION_PROCESS_OPTS's parallelism as it eats a lot of RAM
* (index-reverse) Better logging during processing
* (array) 2GB+ compatible write() function
* (array) 2GB+ compatible write() function
* (index-reverse) We are logging like Bolsonaro and I will not have it.
* (reverse-index) Self-diagnostics
* (btree) Fix bug in btree reader to do with large data sizes
