- Test the DSpace 5.8 module upgrades from Atmire (#378)
- There seems to be a problem with the CUA and L&R versions in
pom.xml because they are using SNAPSHOT and it doesn’t build
- I added the new CCAFS Phase II Project Tag
PII-FP1_PACCA2 and merged it into the 5_x-prod branch (#379)
- I proofed and tested the ILRI author corrections that Peter sent back to me this week:
$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2018-05-30-Correct-660-authors.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f dc.contributor.author -t correct -m 3 -n
- I think a sane proofing workflow in OpenRefine is to apply the custom text facets for check/delete/remove and illegal characters that I developed in March, 2018
- Time to index ~70,000 items on CGSpace:
$ time schedtool -D -e ionice -c2 -n7 nice -n19 [dspace]/bin/dspace index-discovery -b
real 74m42.646s
user 8m5.056s
sys 2m7.289s

- I cleared the Solr statistics core on DSpace Test by issuing two commands directly to the Solr admin interface:
- Then I reduced the JVM heap size from 6144 back to 5120m
- Also, I switched it to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle Java, as well as re-worked the Ansible infrastructure scripts to support hosts choosing which distribution they want to use

- Peter gave feedback on the
dc.rights proof of concept that I had sent him last week
- We don’t need to distinguish between internal and external works, so that makes it just a simple list
- Yesterday I figured out how to monitor DSpace sessions using JMX
- I copied the logic in the
jmx_tomcat_dbpools provided by Ubuntu’s munin-plugins-java package and used the stuff I discovered about JMX in 2018-01

- Uptime Robot noticed that CGSpace went down and up a few times last night, for a few minutes each time
- I didn’t get any load alerts from Linode and the REST and XMLUI logs don’t show anything out of the ordinary
- The nginx logs show HTTP 200s until
02/Jan/2018:11:27:17 +0000 when Uptime Robot got an HTTP 500
- In dspace.log around that time I see many errors like “Client closed the connection before file download was complete”
- And just before that I see this:
Caused by: org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.PoolExhaustedException: [http-bio-127.0.0.1-8443-exec-980] Timeout: Pool empty. Unable to fetch a connection in 5 seconds, none available[size:50; busy:50; idle:0; lastwait:5000].
- Ah hah! So the pool was actually empty!
- I need to increase that, let’s try to bump it up from 50 to 75
- After that one client got an HTTP 499 but then the rest were HTTP 200, so I don’t know what the hell Uptime Robot saw
- I notice this error quite a few times in dspace.log:
2018-01-02 01:21:19,137 ERROR org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.discovery.SidebarFacetsTransformer @ Error while searching for sidebar facets
org.dspace.discovery.SearchServiceException: org.apache.solr.search.SyntaxError: Cannot parse 'dateIssued_keyword:[1976+TO+1979]': Encountered " "]" "] "" at line 1, column 32.
- And there are many of these errors every day for the past month:
