Adding a tracking message to the export actor means it's possible to run them in a precession.
Adding a new precession actor, and some GUI components for triggering exports.
The change also adds a heartbeat to the export process.
Node profiles decide which actors are started, and which views are available in the control GUI. This helps keep the system organized, and hides real-time clutter from the batch-oriented nodes.
The crawl spec abstraction was used to upload lists of domains into the system for future crawling. This was fairly clunky, and it was difficult to understand what was going to be crawled.
Since a while back, a new domains listing view has been added to the control view that allows direct access to the domains table. This is much preferred and means the operator can directly manage domains without specs.
This commit removes the crawl spec abstraction from the code, and changes the GUI to direct to the domains list instead.
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.
