[Tue Jul 31 00:00:41 2018] oom_reaper: reaped process 1394 (java), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
Judging from the time of the crash it was probably related to the Discovery indexing that starts at midnight
From the DSpace log I see that eventually Solr stopped responding, so I guess the java process that was OOM killed above was Tomcat’s
I’m not sure why Tomcat didn’t crash with an OutOfMemoryError…
Anyways, perhaps I should increase the JVM heap from 5120m to 6144m like we did a few months ago when we tried to run the whole CGSpace Solr core
The server only has 8GB of RAM so we’ll eventually need to upgrade to a larger one because we’ll start starving the OS, PostgreSQL, and command line batch processes
I ran all system updates on DSpace Test and rebooted it

<li>I started looking over the latest round of IITA batch records from Sisay on DSpace Test: <ahref="https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/103250">IITA July_30</a>
<ul>
<li>incorrect authorship types</li>
<li>dozens of inconsistencies, spelling mistakes, and white space in author affiliations</li>
<li>minor issues in countries (California is not a country)</li>
<li>minor issues in IITA subjects, ISBNs, languages, and AGROVOC subjects</li>
<li>DSpace Test crashed again and I don’t see the only error I see is this in <code>dmesg</code>:</li>

<li>I am still assuming that this is the Tomcat process that is dying, so maybe actually we need to reduce its memory instead of increasing it?</li>
<li>The risk we run there is that we’ll start getting OutOfMemory errors from Tomcat</li>
<li>So basically we need a new test server with more RAM very soon…</li>
<li>Abenet asked about the workflow statistics in the Atmire CUA module again</li>
<li>Last year Atmire told me that it’s disabled by default but you can enable it with <code>workflow.stats.enabled = true</code> in the CUA configuration file</li>
<li>There was a bug with adding users so they sent a patch, but I didn’t merge it because it was <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/319">very dirty</a> and I wasn’t sure it actually fixed the problem</li>
<li>I just tried to enable the stats again on DSpace Test now that we’re on DSpace 5.8 with updated Atmire modules, but every user I search for shows “No data available”</li>
<li>As a test I submitted a new item and I was able to see it in the workflow statistics “data” tab, but not in the graph</li>
<li>Finally I did a test run with the <ahref="https://gist.github.com/alanorth/df92cbfb54d762ba21b28f7cd83b6897"><code>fix-metadata-value.py</code></a> script:</li>
<li>Generate a list of the top 1,500 authors on CGSpace for Sisay so he can create the controlled vocabulary:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# \copy (select distinct text_value, count(*) from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id = (select metadata_field_id from metadatafieldregistry where element = 'contributor' and qualifier = 'author') AND resource_type_id = 2 group by text_value order by count desc limit 1500) to /tmp/2018-08-16-top-1500-authors.csv with csv;
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Start working on adding the ORCID metadata to a handful of CIAT authors as requested by Elizabeth earlier this month</li>
<li>I might need to overhaul the <ahref="https://gist.github.com/alanorth/a49d85cd9c5dea89cddbe809813a7050">add-orcid-identifiers-csv.py</a> script to be a little more robust about author order and ORCID metadata that might have been altered manually by editors after submission, as this script was written without that consideration</li>
<li>After checking a few examples I see that checking only the <code>text_value</code> and <code>place</code> when adding ORCID fields is not enough anymore</li>
<li>It was a sane assumption when I was initially migrating ORCID records from Solr to regular metadata, but now it seems that some authors might have been added or changed after item submission</li>
<li>Now it is better to check if there is <em>any</em> existing ORCID identifier for a given author for the item…</li>
<li>I will have to update my script to extract the ORCID identifier and search for that</li>
<li>Re-create my local DSpace database using the latest PostgreSQL 9.6 Docker image and re-import the latest CGSpace dump:</li>
<li>Keep working on the CIAT ORCID identifiers from Elizabeth</li>
<li>In the spreadsheet she sent me there are some names with other versions in the database, so when it is obviously the same one (ie “Schultze-Kraft, Rainer” and “Schultze-Kraft, R.”) I will just tag them with ORCID identifiers too</li>
<li>This is less obvious and more error prone with names like “Peters” where there are many more authors</li>
<li>I see some errors in the variations of names as well, for example:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>Verchot, Louis
Verchot, L
Verchot, L. V.
Verchot, L.V
Verchot, L.V.
Verchot, LV
Verchot, Louis V.
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>I’ll just tag them all with Louis Verchot’s ORCID identifier…</li>
<li>In the end, I’ll run the following CSV with my <ahref="https://gist.github.com/alanorth/a49d85cd9c5dea89cddbe809813a7050">add-orcid-identifiers-csv.py</a> script:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dc.contributor.author,cg.creator.id
"Campbell, Bruce",Bruce M Campbell: 0000-0002-0123-4859

"Campbell, B.M",Bruce M Campbell: 0000-0002-0123-4859
<li>I ran the script on DSpace Test and CGSpace and tagged a total of 986 ORCID identifiers</li>
<li>Looking at the list of author affialitions from Peter one last time</li>
<li>I notice that I should add the Unicode character 0x00b4 (`) to my list of invalid characters to look for in Open Refine, making the latest version of the GREL expression being:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>or(
isNotNull(value.match(/.*\uFFFD.*/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u00A0.*/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u200A.*/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u2019.*/)),
isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u00b4.*/))
)
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>This character all by itself is indicative of encoding issues in French, Italian, and Spanish names, for example: De´veloppement and Investigacio´n</li>
<li>I will run the following on DSpace Test and CGSpace:</li>
<li>So I’m thinking we should add “crawl” to the Tomcat Crawler Session Manager valve, as we already have “bot” that catches Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.</li>
<li>Help Sisay with some UTF-8 encoding issues in a file Peter sent him</li>
<li>Finish up reconciling Atmire’s pull request for DSpace 5.8 changes with the latest status of our <code>5_x-prod</code> branch</li>
<li>I had to do some <code>git rev-list --reverse --no-merges oldestcommit..newestcommit</code> and <code>git cherry-pick -S</code> hackery to get everything all in order</li>
<li>After building I ran the Atmire schema migrations and forced old migrations, then did the <code>ant update</code></li>
<li>I tried to build it on DSpace Test, but it seems to still need more RAM to complete (like I experienced last month), so I stopped Tomcat and set <code>JAVA_OPTS</code> to 1024m and tried the <code>mvn package</code> again</li>
<li>Still the <code>mvn package</code> takes forever and essentially hangs on processing the xmlui-mirage2 overlay (though after building all the themes)</li>
<li>I will try to reduce Tomcat memory from 4608m to 4096m and then retry the <code>mvn package</code> with 1024m of <code>JAVA_OPTS</code> again</li>
<li>After running the <code>mvn package</code> for the third time and waiting an hour, I attached <code>strace</code> to the Java process and saw that it was indeed reading XMLUI theme data… so I guess I just need to wait more</li>
<li>After waiting two hours the maven process completed and installation was successful</li>
<li>I restarted Tomcat and it seems everything is working well, so I’ll merge the pull request and try to schedule the CGSpace upgrade for this coming Sunday, August 26th</li>
<li>I merged <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/378">Atmire’s pull request</a> into our <code>5_x-dspace-5.8</code> temporary brach and then cherry-picked all the changes from <code>5_x-prod</code> since April, 2018 when that temporary branch was created</li>
<li>As the branch histories are very different I cannot merge the new 5.8 branch into the current <code>5_x-prod</code> branch</li>
<li>Instead, I will archive the current <code>5_x-prod</code> DSpace 5.5 branch as <code>5_x-prod-dspace-5.5</code> and then hard reset <code>5_x-prod</code> based on <code>5_x-dspace-5.8</code></li>
<li>Unfortunately this will mess up the references in pull requests and issues on GitHub</li>
<li>Something must have happened, as the <code>mvn package</code><em>always</em> takes about two hours now, stopping for a very long time near the end at this step:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>[INFO] Processing overlay [ id org.dspace.modules:xmlui-mirage2]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>It’s the same on DSpace Test, my local laptop, and CGSpace…</li>
<li>It wasn’t this way before when I was constantly building the previous 5.8 branch with Atmire patches…</li>
<li>I will restore the previous <code>5_x-dspace-5.8</code> and <code>atmire-module-upgrades-5.8</code> branches to see if the build time is different there</li>
<li>And I notice that Atmire changed something in the XMLUI module’s <code>pom.xml</code> as part of the DSpace 5.8 changes, specifically to remove the exclude for <code>node_modules</code> in the <code>maven-war-plugin</code> step</li>
<li>This exclude is <em>present</em> in vanilla DSpace, and if I add it back the build time goes from 1 hour 23 minutes to 12 minutes!</li>
<li>It makes sense that it would take longer to complete this step because the <code>node_modules</code> folder has tens of thousands of files, and we have 27 themes!</li>
<li>In other news, I see there was a pull request in DSpace 5.9 that fixes the issue with not being able to have blank lines in CSVs when importing via command line or webui (<ahref="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3245">DS-3245</a>)</li>
