There really is no fantastic place to put this logic, but we need to remove entries with an X-Robots-Tags header where that header indicates it doesn't want to be crawled by Marginalia.
We want to mute some of these records so that they don't produce documents, but in some cases we want a document to be produced for accounting purposes.
Added improved tests that reach for known resources on www.marginalia.nu to test the behavior when encountering bad content type and 404s.
The commit also adds some safety try-catch:es around the charset handling, as it may sometimes explode when fed incorrect data, and we do be guessing...
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 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 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.
This is the same as the prefix for the IP address, but I don't think that substantially matters, the as two have such different namespaces there can be no confusion.
In this commit, GeoIP-related classes are refactored and relocated to a common library as they are shared across multiple services.
The crawler is refactored to enable the GeoIpBlocklist to use the new GeoIpDictionary as the base of its decisions.
The converter is modified ot query this data to add a geoip:-keyword to documents to permit limiting a search to the country of the hosting server.
The commit also adds due BY-SA attribution in the search engine footer for the source of the IP geolocation data.
Refactored the getDocumentsStream method in EncyclopediaMarginaliaNuSideloader to use the newly extracted ProcessingIterator class that encapsulates processing a stream of results from e.g a database query in parallel and returning the computed results as an iterator.
The iterator was also improved on to be more reliable, previous versions of the logic would sometimes deadlock due to false positives in hasMore().
The commit updates EncyclopediaMarginaliaNuSideloader to include the AnchorTextKeywords in processing documents, aiding search result relevance.
It also removes old test-related functionality and a large but fairly useless test previously used to debug a specific problem, to the detriment of the overall code quality.
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.
The code now includes an additional function in the DomainProcessor class that checks if a domain is associated with academia. An academic domain is identified by the ".edu" TLD, or fits a specific regex pattern matching domains like *.ac.ccTld or *.edu.ccTld.
If these conditions are met, the search term "special:academia" is added to the domain.
The existing academia search filter uses personalized pagerank to select academia-adjacent domains, but it isn't working very well. The hope is that filtering on domain names will be more effective, and that it can supplant the ranking-based approach.
Partially hook in the WarcRecorder into the crawler process. So far it's not read, but should record the crawled documents.
The WarcRecorder and HttpFetcher classes were also refactored and broken apart to be easier to reason about.
This update includes the integration of the jwarc library and implements support for Warc file sideloading, as a first trial integration with this library.
Wrapping these exceptions in a try-catch and logging them with slf4j will ensure they end up in the process logs.
The way it worked using the default exception handler, they'd print on console (which nothing captures!), leading to a very annoying debugging experience.
* 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.
* Encyclopedia sideloader; permit providing base URL.
* Storage base shows node id in GUI
* ProcessLivenessMonitorActor restarts automatically
* Clean-up of outbox code
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
... 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.
