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. |

Processes
1. Crawl Process
The crawling-process fetches website contents, temporarily saving them as WARC files, and then re-converts them into parquet models. Both are described in crawling-model.
The operation is optionally defined by a crawl specification, which can be created in the control GUI.
2. Converting Process
The converting-process reads crawl data from the crawling step and processes them, extracting keywords and metadata and saves them as parquet files described in processed-data.
3. Loading Process
The loading-process reads the processed data.
It has creates an index journal, a link database, and loads domains and domain-links into the MariaDB database.
4. Index Construction Process
The index-construction-process constructs indices from the data generated by the loader.
Overview
Schematically the crawling and loading process looks like this:
