- Atmire responded about the issue with duplicate data in our Solr statistics
- They noticed that some records in the statistics-2015 core haven’t been migrated with the AtomicStatisticsUpdateCLI tool yet and assumed that I haven’t migrated any of the records yet
- That’s strange, as I checked all ten cores and 2015 is the only one with some unmigrated documents, as according to the
cua_version field
- I started processing those (about 411,000 records):
$ chrt -b 0 dspace dsrun com.atmire.statistics.util.update.atomic.AtomicStatisticsUpdateCLI -t 12 -c statistics-2015
- AReS went down when the
renew-letsencrypt service stopped the angular_nginx container in the pre-update hook and failed to bring it back up
- I ran all system updates on the host and rebooted it and AReS came back up OK

- Udana emailed me yesterday to ask why the CGSpace usage statistics were showing “No Data”
- I noticed a message in the Solr Admin UI that one of the statistics cores failed to load, but it is up and I can query it…
- Nevertheless, I restarted Tomcat a few times to see if all cores would come up without an error message, but had no success (despite that all cores ARE up and I can query them, sigh)
- I think I will move all the Solr yearly statistics back into the main statistics core
- Start testing export/import of yearly Solr statistics data into the main statistics core on DSpace Test, for example:
$ ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2010 -a export -o statistics-2010.json -k uid
$ ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics -a import -o statistics-2010.json -k uid
$ curl -s "http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2010/update?softCommit=true" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary "<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>"
- I deployed Tomcat 7.0.107 on DSpace Test (CGSpace is still Tomcat 7.0.104)
- I finished migrating all the statistics from the yearly shards back to the main core
2020-12-05
- I deleted all the yearly statistics shards and restarted Tomcat on DSpace Test (linode26)

- Looking into the statistics on DSpace Test after I migrated them back to the main core
- All stats are working as expected… indexing time for the DSpace Statistics API is the same… and I don’t even see a difference in the JVM or memory stats in Munin other than a minor jump last week when I was processing them
- I will migrate them on CGSpace too I think
- First I will start with the statistics-2010 and statistics-2015 cores because they were the ones that were failing to load recently (despite actually being available in Solr WTF)
$ chrt -b 0 ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2010 -a export -o statistics-2010.json -k uid
$ chrt -b 0 ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics -a import -o statistics-2010.json -k uid
$ curl -s "http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2010/update?softCommit=true" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary "<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>"
- Judging by the DSpace logs all these cores had a problem starting up in the last month:
# grep -rsI "Unable to create core" [dspace]/log/dspace.log.2020-* | grep -o -E "statistics-[0-9]+" | sort | uniq -c
24 statistics-2010
24 statistics-2015
18 statistics-2016
6 statistics-2018
- The message is always this:
org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer$RemoteSolrException: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'statistics-2016': Unable to create core [statistics-2016] Caused by: Lock obtain timed out: NativeFSLock@/[dspace]/solr/statistics-2016/data/index/write.lock
- I will migrate all these cores and see if it makes a difference, then probably end up migrating all of them
- I removed the statistics-2010, statistics-2015, statistics-2016, and statistics-2018 cores and restarted Tomcat and all the statistics cores came up OK and the CUA statistics are OK!
