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 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.
Added functionality to remove processes from listing that have not checked in for over a day. A 'removeProcessHeartbeat' function was created to delete the respective entry from the PROCESS_HEARTBEAT table in case heartbeats are absent for more than one day.
This variable had a very confusing name, and was dangerously easy to use in the wrong place with the result of getting something that only works as expected half the time.
Ideally this class needs an overhaul, the assumptions it makes about domain names aren't great.
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.
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.
* 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
