Viktor Lofgren 3a325845c7 (mq) Add better error handling in fsm and mq
java.lang.Error:s were not handled properly, leading to mismatch in the bookkeeping of the FSMs.  These are now caught, acted on, and re-thrown.

MqSynchronousInbox also no longer assumes all exceptions are InterruptedException.

Code

This is a pretty large and diverse project with many moving parts.

You'll find a short description in each module of what it does and how it relates to other modules. The modules each have names like "library" or "process" or "feature". These have specific meanings. See doc/module-taxonomy.md.

Overview

A map of the most important components and how they relate can be found below.

The core part of the search engine is the index service, which is responsible for storing and retrieving the document data. The index serive is partitioned, along with the executor service, which is responsible for executing processes. At least one instance of each service must be run, but more can be run alongside. Multiple partitions is desirable in production to distribute load across multiple physical drives, as well as reducing the impact of downtime.

Search queries are delegated via the query service, which is a proxy that fans out the query to all eligible index services. The control service is responsible for distributing commands to the executor service, and for monitoring the health of the system. It also offers a web interface for operating the system.

Services

Processes

Processes are batch jobs that deal with data retrieval, processing and loading. These are spawned and orchestrated by the executor service, which is controlled by the control service.

Tools

Features

Features are relatively stand-alone components that serve some part of the domain. They aren't domain-independent, but isolated.

Libraries and primitives

Libraries are stand-alone code that is independent of the domain logic.

  • common elements for creating a service, a client etc.
  • libraries containing non-search specific code.
    • array - large memory mapped area library
    • btree - static btree library
