This tool converts from stackexchange's 7z-compressed XML
|
|
format to a sqlite database that is digestible by the search engine.
|
|
|
|
See [features-convert/stackexchange-xml](../../features-convert/stackexchange-xml) for
|
|
an explanation why this is necessary.
|
|
|
|
Stackexchange's data dumps can be downloaded from archive.org
|
|
here: [https://archive.org/details/stackexchange](https://archive.org/details/stackexchange)
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b>
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ stackexchange-converter domain-name input.7z output.db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Stackexchange is relatively conservative about allowing
|
|
new questions, so this is a job that doesn't run more than once.
|
|
|
|
<b>Note</b>: Reading and writing these db files is *absurdly* slow
|
|
on a mechanical hard-drive.
