!bang query handling seems to have fallen victim to an overzealous refactoring effort, and broken.
It's now repaired, and a test is in place to ensure we know if it breaks again.
The readme for the array library was extremely out of date. Updating it with accurate information about how the library works, and a demo that should compile.
Also added a system property for disabling the use of sun.misc.Unsafe.
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 codebase used to have a monkey patched version of gson that made special optimizations for the unusually large JSON files that used to store e.g. crawl data.
Since JSON is no longer used in this fashion, the GSON fork is not needed anymore.
To help distinguish between environments, a system property 'control.appBorder' is added that is injected as a body element border property in the control GUI stylesheets.
IndexJournalWriterPagingImpl was modified to not page on number of entries written, but number of (equivalent uncompressed) bytes written.
Since the failure mode if too much data is written per file is quiet corruption of the index, the former behavior was extremely fragile. The new behavior should consistently ensure that the data is sufficiently small to not cause any integer rollovers.
The change in 6dcc20038c was reverted, as there is really no sane reason to have this configurable in software.
The RandomFileAssembler implementations, introduced in commit 53c575db3f were all acting subtly differently. The RWF implementation wrote BigEndian longs instead of the native endianness used by the other implementations (and expected by the index construction code), further the mmap implementation exposed a bug in LongArray.write() that caused it to create a larger file than necessary.
A test was built to ensure the output of these implementations is equivalent.
To cope with writing large files out of order, the system needs some form of strategy to avoid writing them directly to disk, as this causes insane amounts of disk thrashing. By default, the data is just buffered in RAM. This works well on a large server, but smaller systems struggle.
To help systems with small RAM process large amounts of data, the old RandomWriteFunnel is brought back if the system property 'system.conserve-memory' is set to true. RandomWriteFunnel is buffering the construction by creating a series of small files that pigeonhole the writes into rough neighborhoods, and then it goes over the files one by one to construct one area of the file at a time. This is relatively slow and uses more than twice the disk size.
A new interface RandomFileAssembler is introduced as an abstraction for this operation. A third strategy, direct mmaps, is also introduced if the file is very small (less than 1 GB). In this domain, disk thrashing is unlikely since it will comfortably fit in RAM.
This update enhances the SideloaderProcessing and DocumentClass modules to specially handle sideloaded wiki documents. Wiki content is generally truncated to the first paragraph, which generally tends to be too short to be included independently. An additional DocumentClass (SIDELOAD) has been introduced to suppress the length check in this case.
Wrote a new test to examine the redirect behavior of the crawler, ensuring that the redirect URL is the URL that is reported in the parquet file. This works as intended.
Noticed in the course of this that the crawler doesn't add links from meta-tag redirects to the crawl frontier. Added logic to handle this case, amended the test case to verify the new behavior. Added the meta-redirect case to the HtmlDocumentProcessorPlugin as well, so that we consider it a link between documents in the unlikely case that a meta redirect is to another domain.
The flag is `system.languageDetectionModelVersion`.
* If negative, no model is used.
* If 0, both models are used.
* If 1, the old crappy model is used.
* If 2, the new fasttext model is used.

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.
Since the bleed-flags set by the anchor tags logics have been changed to Site and SiteAdjacent, give them a bit of more importance when set together with ExternalLink.
UrlDomain and UrlPath are also only more consistently only rewarded once.
This adds a single-node barebones configuration to the install script. It also moves the log4j configuration into system.properties, and sets assertions to disabled by default.
This changeset adds an action for downloading a set of sample data from downloads.marginalia.nu.
It also refactors out some leaky abstractions out of FileStorageService. allocateTemporaryStorage has been renamed allocateStorage. The storage was never temporary in any scenario...
It also doesn't take a storage base, as there was always only one valid option for this input. The allocateStorage method finds the appropriate base itself.
This will avoid having to dig in the message queue to perform this relatively common task.
The control service was also refactored to extract common timestamp formatting logic out of the data objects and into the rendering.
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.
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.
