This update eliminates all occurrences of the OpenNLP token model from the setup script, configuration, and test files, as this model file is no longer used.
Since some of the export tasks have been memory hungry, sometimes killing the executor-services, they've been moved to a separate process that can be given a larger Xmx.
While doing this, the ProcessMainClass was given utilities for the boilerplate surrounding receiving mq requests and responding to them, some effort was also put toward making the process boot process a bit more uniform. It's still a bit heterogeneous between different processes, but a bit less so for now.
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.
We can only do this for files that are not required for unit tests.
As it is illegal to run more than one instance of the control service, this should be fine with regard to race conditions. The boot orchestration will also ensure that no other services will boot up before the downloading is complete.
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.
Roll back to JDK 21 for now, and make Java version configurable in the root build.gradle
The project has run into no less than three distinct show-stopping bugs in JDK22, across multiple vendors, and gradle still doesn't fully support it, meaning you need multiple JDK versions installed.
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.
Cleaning out a lot of old junk from the code, and one thing lead to another...
* Build is improved, now constructing docker images with 'jib'. Clean build went from 3 minutes to 50 seconds.
* The ProcessService's spawning is smarter. Will now just spawn a java process instead of relying on the application plugin's generated outputs.
* Project is migrated to GraalVM
* gRPC clients are re-written with a neat fluent/functional style. e.g.
```channelPool.call(grpcStub::method)
.async(executor) // <-- optional
.run(argument);
```
This change is primarily to allow handling ManagedChannel errors, but it turned out to be a pretty clean API overall.
* For now the project is all in on zookeeper
* Service discovery is now based on APIs and not services. Theoretically means we could ship the same code either a monolith or a service mesh.
* To this end, began modularizing a few of the APIs so that they aren't strongly "living" in a service. WIP!
Missing is documentation and testing, and some more breaking apart of code.
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.
* (executor-api) Make executor API talk GRPC
The executor's REST API was very fragile and annoying to work with, lacking even basic type safety. Migrate to use GRPC instead. GRPC is a bit of a pain with how verbose it is, but that is probably a lesser evil. This is a fairly straightforward change, but it's also large so a solid round of testing is needed...
The change set breaks out the GrpcStubPool previously residing in the QueryService, and makes it available to all clients.
ServiceId.name was also renamed to avoid the very dangerous clash with Enum.name().
The boilerplate needed for grpc was also extracted into a common gradle file for inclusion into the appropriate build.gradle-files.
This changeset adds an action for downloading a set of sample data from downloads.marginalia.nu.
It also refactors out some leaky abstractions out of FileStorageService. allocateTemporaryStorage has been renamed allocateStorage. The storage was never temporary in any scenario...
It also doesn't take a storage base, as there was always only one valid option for this input. The allocateStorage method finds the appropriate base itself.
This will avoid having to dig in the message queue to perform this relatively common task.
The control service was also refactored to extract common timestamp formatting logic out of the data objects and into the rendering.
Use a system.properties file to configure the system. This is loaded statically by MainClass or ProcessMainClass. Update the property names to be more consistent, and update the documentations to reflect the changes.
Several tests were manually running migrations in a large copy-paste blob of code. This makes the test less useful as it's possible to break the code while keeping the tests green by introducing a new migration that never gets run in the tests, and it's also difficult to reason about what the tests are doing.
A new test helper library is introduced with a TestMigrationLoader that can both run Flyway migrations, or load specific migrations in the cases a specific set of migrations need to be loaded. Existing tests are migrated to use the new code.
Add a toggle for saving the WARC data generated by the search engine's crawler. Normally this is discarded, but for debugging or archival purposes, retaining it may be of interest.
The warc files are concatenated into larger archives, up to about 1 GB each.
An index is also created containing filenames, domain names, offsets and sizes
to help navigate these larger archives.
The warc data is saved in a directory warc/ under the crawl data storage.
This commit overhauls a lot of the UX for the control service, adding a new actions menu to the nodes views. It has many small tweaks to make the work flow better.
It also adds a new /uploads directory in each index node, from which sideloaded data can be selected. This is a bit of a breaking change, as this directory needs to exist in each index node.
The changeset also makes the control service responsible for flyway migrations. This helps reduce the number of places the database configuration needs to be spread out. These automatic migrations can be disabled with -DdisableFlyway=true.
The commit also adds curl to the docker container, to enable docker health checks and interdependencies.
* 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
* Encyclopedia sideloader; permit providing base URL.
* Storage base shows node id in GUI
* ProcessLivenessMonitorActor restarts automatically
* Clean-up of outbox code
This turned out to be very difficult to do in small isolated steps.
* Design overhaul of the control gui using bootstrap
* Move the actors out of control-service into to a new executor-service, that can be run on multiple nodes
* Add node-affinity to message queue
