<li>Playing with <ahref="https://github.com/moonlitesolutions/SolrClient">SolrClient</a> in Python to query Solr</li>

<li>Helping Megan Zandstra and CIAT with some questions about the REST API</li>
<li>Playing with <code>find-by-metadata-field</code>, this works:</li>
<li>But the results are deceiving because metadata fields can have text languages and your query must match exactly!</li>
</ul>
<pretabindex="0"><code>dspace=# select distinct text_value, text_lang from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=203 and text_value='SEEDS';
text_value | text_lang
------------+-----------
SEEDS |
SEEDS |
SEEDS | en_US
(3 rows)
</code></pre><ul>
<li>So basically, the text language here could be null, blank, or en_US</li>
<li>To query metadata with these properties, you can do:</li>
<li>The results (55+34=89) don’t seem to match those from the database:</li>
</ul>
<pretabindex="0"><code>dspace=# select count(text_value) from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=203 and text_value='SEEDS' and text_lang is null;
count

dspace=# select count(text_value) from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=203 and text_value='SEEDS' and text_lang='';
count

dspace=# select count(text_value) from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=203 and text_value='SEEDS' and text_lang='en_US';
count

</code></pre><ul>
<li>So, querying from the API I get 55 + 34 = 89 results, but the database actually only has 85…</li>
<li>And the <code>find-by-metadata-field</code> endpoint doesn’t seem to have a way to get all items with the field, or a wildcard value</li>
<li>I’ll ask a question on the dspace-tech mailing list</li>

</code></pre><ul>
<li>The <code>fix-metadata.py</code> script I have is meant for specific metadata values, so if I want to update some <code>text_lang</code> values I should just do it directly in the database</li>
<li>For example, on a limited set:</li>
</ul>

<li>After that restarted Tomcat and PostgreSQL (because I’m superstitious about caches) and now I see the following in REST API query:</li>

<li>Which, according to some old threads on DSpace Tech, means that the user has a lot of permissions (from groups or on the individual eperson) which increases the Solr query size / query URL</li>
<li>It might be fixed by increasing the Tomcat <code>maxHttpHeaderSize</code>, which is <ahref="http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html">8192 (or 8KB) by default</a></li>
<li>I’ve increased the <code>maxHttpHeaderSize</code> to 16384 on DSpace Test and the user said he is now able to see the communities on the homepage</li>
<li>I will make the changes on CGSpace soon</li>
<li>A few users are reporting having issues with their workflows, they get the following message: “You are not allowed to perform this task”</li>
<li>Might be the same as <ahref="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2920">DS-2920</a> on the bug tracker</li>
</ul>
<h2id="2016-11-30">2016-11-30</h2>
<ul>
<li>The <code>maxHttpHeaderSize</code> fix worked on CGSpace (user is able to see the community list on the homepage)</li>
<li>The “take task” cache fix worked on DSpace Test but it’s not an official patch, so I’ll have to report the bug to DSpace people and try to get advice</li>
