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.
To avoid having to either hard-code or manually configure service addresses (possibly several dozen), and to reduce the project's dependency on docker to deal with routing and discovery, the option to use [Zookeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org/) to manage services and discovery has been added.
A service registry interface was added, with a Zookeeper implementation and a basic implementation that only works on docker and hard-codes everything.
The last remaining REST service, the assistant-service, has been migrated to gRPC.
This also proved a good time to clear out primordial technical debt from the root of the codebase. The 'service-client' library has been taken behind the barn and given a last farewell. It's replaced by a small library for managing gRPC channels.
Since it's no longer used by anything, RxJava has been removed as a dependency from the project.
Although the current state seems reasonably stable, this is a work-in-progress commit.
It's a mistake to let it bleed into Title, as this is a high quality signal. We'll co-opt Site and SiteAdjacent instead to reinforce the ExternalLink when count is high.
* Added new (optional) model file in $WMSA_HOME/data/atags.parquet
* Converter gets a component for creating a projection of its domains onto the full atags parquet file
* New WordFlag ExternalLink
* These terms are also for now flagged as title words
* Fixed a bug where Title words aliased with UrlDomain words
* Fixed a bug in the encyclopedia sideloader that gave everything too high topology ranking
... also move some common configuration into the root build.gradle-file.
Support for JDK21 in lombok is a bit sketchy at the moment, but it seems to work. This upgrade is kind of important as the new index construction really benefits from Arena based lifecycle control over off-heap memory.
This is a system-wide change. The index used to have a lexicon, mapping words to wordIds using a large in-memory hash table. This made index-construction easier, but it
also added a fairly significant RAM penalty to both the index service and the loader.
The new design moves to 64 bit word identifiers calculated using the murmur hash of the keyword, and an index construction based on merging smaller indices.
It also became necessary half-way through to upgrade guice as its error reporting wasn't *quite* compatible with JDK20.
* Increase accuracy of the position bits.
* Increase their width to 56.
* Use a rolling position scheme for bits 16-56 to increase the average accuracy.
* Result ranking overhaul
* Optimized queries
* BM25 in the index service's ranking
* Make gui less jank
* Javadocs for ranking parameters.
