  • Skype with Peter and Abenet to discuss the CG Core survey
    • We also discussed some other CGSpace issues

2020-03-04

  • Abenet asked me to add some new ILRI subjects to CGSpace
    • I updated the input-forms.xml in our 5_x-prod branch on GitHub
    • Abenet said we are changing HEALTH to HUMAN HEALTH so I need to fix those using my fix-metadata-values.py script:
$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i 2020-03-04-fix-1-ilri-subject.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f cg.subject.ilri -m 203 -t correct -d
  • But I have not run it on CGSpace yet because we want to ask Peter if he is sure about it…
  • Send a message to Macaroni Bros to ask them about their Drupal module and its readiness for DSpace 6 UUIDs

Lucene/Solr 7.0 was the first version that successfully passed our tests using Java 9 and higher. You should avoid Java 9 or later for Lucene/Solr 6.x or earlier.

  • I want to try to consolidate our yearly Solr statistics cores back into one statistics core using the solr-import-export-json tool
  • I will try it on DSpace test, doing one year at a time:
$ ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2010 -a export -o /tmp/statistics-2010.json -k uid
$ ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics -a import -o /tmp/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>time:2010*</query></delete>"
$ ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2011 -a export -o /tmp/statistics-2011.json -k uid
$ ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics -a import -o /tmp/statistics-2011.json -k uid
$ curl -s "http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2011/update?softCommit=true" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary "<delete><query>time:2011*</query></delete>"
$ ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics -a import -o /tmp/statistics-2012.json -k uid
$ curl -s 'http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/select?q=time:2012*&rows=0&wt=json&indent=true' | grep numFound
  "response":{"numFound":3761989,"start":0,"docs":[]
$ curl -s 'http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2012/select?q=time:2012*&rows=0&wt=json&indent=true' | grep numFound
  "response":{"numFound":3761989,"start":0,"docs":[]
$ curl -s "http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2012/update?softCommit=true" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary "<delete><query>time:2012*</query></delete>"
  • I will do this for as many cores as I can (disk space limited) and then monitor the effect on the system and JVM memory usage
