Previously, the sideloader did not generate a locality-sensitive hashCode for document details. This caused all documents from the same domain to be considered duplicates by the deduplication logic.
Centralized HTML feature handling with `applyFeatures` in StackexchangeSideloader and added dynamic synthetic term generation. Improved HTML structure in RedditSideloader and enhanced metadata processing with feature-based keywords. Updated DomainLinks to correctly compute link counts using individual link occurrences.
Normalize URLs by replacing en-dash with hyphen to prevent encoding errors. This ensures correct handling of a small subset of articles with improperly normalized UTF-8 paths. Added `normalizeUtf8` method to address this issue.
Fixes issue #109.
To help offer verbatim matches for external link texts, we assign these positions in the document a bit after the actual document ends. Integrating this information with the ranking is not performed here.
Refactoring keyword extraction to extract spans information.
Modifying the intermediate storage of converted data to use the new slop library, which is allows for easier storage of ad-hoc binary data like spans and positions.
This is a bit of a katamari damacy commit that ended up dragging along a bunch of other fairly tangentially related changes that are hard to break out into separate commits after the fact. Will push as-is to get back to being able to do more isolated work.
Previously, in an experimental change, only the first paragraph was indexed, intended to reduce the amount of noisy tangential hits. This was not a good idea, so the change is reverted.
Look, this will make the git history look funny, but trimming unnecessary depth from the source tree is a very necessary sanity-preserving measure when dealing with a super-modularized codebase like this one.
While it makes the project configuration a bit less conventional, it will save you several clicks every time you jump between modules. Which you'll do a lot, because it's *modul*ar. The src/main/java convention makes a lot of sense for a non-modular project though. This ain't that.
