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.

Search Service

This service handles search traffic and is the service you're most directly interacting with when visiting search.marginalia.nu.

It interprets a "human" query and translates it into a request that gets passed into to the index service, which finds related documents, which this service then ranks and returns to the user.

Central classes

  • SearchService receives requests and delegates to the appropriate services.

  • CommandEvaluator interprets a user query and acts upon it, dealing with special operations like browse: or site:.

  • SearchQueryIndexService passes a parsed search query to the index service, and then decorates the search results so that they can be rendered.
