--- title: "March, 2020" date: 2020-03-02T12:31:30+02:00 author: "Alan Orth" categories: ["Notes"] --- ## 2020-03-02 - Update [dspace-statistics-api](https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api) for DSpace 6+ UUIDs - Tag version 1.2.0 on GitHub - Test migrating legacy Solr statistics to UUIDs with the as-of-yet unreleased [SolrUpgradePre6xStatistics.java](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commit/184f2b2153479045fba6239342c63e7f8564b8b6#diff-0350ce2e13b28d5d61252b7a8f50a059) - You need to download this into the DSpace 6.x source and compile it ``` $ export JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" $ ~/dspace63/bin/dspace solr-upgrade-statistics-6x ``` ## 2020-03-03 - 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](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/commit/b51a242e773bd8658d3cab4ac883975708b00386) 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 ## 2020-03-05 - I found a very [interesting comment on the Solr 8.1 guide](https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_1/solr-system-requirements.html#lucene-solr-prior-to-7-0) about Java compatibility: > 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. ## 2020-03-08 - 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 "time:2010*" $ ./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 "time:2011*" $ ./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 "time:2012*" ``` - 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 - Exporting half years might work, using a filter query with months as a regular expression: ``` $ ./run.sh -s http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2014 -a export -o /tmp/statistics-2014-1.json -k uid -f 'time:/2014-0[1-6].*/' ``` - Upgrade PostgreSQL from 9.6 to 10 on DSpace Test (linode19) - I've been running it for one month in my local environment, and others have reported on the dspace-tech mailing list that they are using 10 and 11 ``` # apt install postgresql-10 postgresql-contrib-10 # systemctl stop tomcat7 # pg_ctlcluster 9.6 main stop # tar -cvzpf var-lib-postgresql-9.6.tar.gz /var/lib/postgresql/9.6 # tar -cvzpf etc-postgresql-9.6.tar.gz /etc/postgresql/9.6 # pg_ctlcluster 10 main stop # pg_dropcluster 10 main # pg_upgradecluster 9.6 main # pg_dropcluster 9.6 main # dpkg -l | grep postgresql | grep 9.6 | awk '{print $2}' | xargs dpkg -r ``` ## 2020-03-09 - Peter noticed that the Solr stats were not showing anything before 2020 - I had to restart Tomcat three times before all cores loaded properly... ## 2020-03-10 - Fix some logic issues in the nginx config - Use generic blocking of `[Bb]ot` and `[Cc]rawl` and `[Ss]pider` in the "badbots" rate limiting logic instead of trying to list them all one by one (bots should not be trying to index dynamic pages *no matter what* so we punish hard here) - We were not properly forwarding the remote IP address to Tomcat in all nginx location blocks, which led some locations to log a hit from 127.0.0.1 (because we need to explicitly add the global proxy params when setting other headers in location blocks) - Unfortunately this affected the REST API and there are a few hundred thousand requests from this user agent: ``` Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) ``` - It seems to only be a problem in the last week: ``` # zgrep -c 64.225.40.66 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.{1..9} /var/log/nginx/rest.log.1:0 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.2:0 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.3:0 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.4:3625 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.5:27458 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.6:0 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.7:0 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.8:0 /var/log/nginx/rest.log.9:0 ``` - In Solr the IP is 127.0.0.1, but in the nginx logs I can luckily see the real IP (64.225.40.66), which is on Digital Ocean - I will purge them from Solr statistics: ``` $ curl -s "http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/update?softCommit=true" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary 'userAgent:"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;

``` - Then I exported the metadata from DSpace Test and imported it into OpenRefine - I corrected one invalid AGROVOC subject using my `csv-metadata-quality` script - I exported a new list of affiliations from the database, added line numbers with `csvcut`, and then validated them in OpenRefine using `reconcile-csv`: ``` dspace=# \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value, count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE resource_type_id = 2 AND metadata_field_id = 211 GROUP BY text_value ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 1500) to /tmp/2020-03-12-affiliations.csv WITH CSV HEADER;` dspace=# \q $ csvcut -l -c 0 /tmp/2020-03-12-affiliations.csv | sed -e 's/^line_number/id/' -e 's/text_value/name/' > /tmp/affiliations.csv $ lein run /tmp/affiliations.csv name id ``` - I always forget how to copy the reconciled values in OpenRefine, but you need to make a new column and populate it using this GREL: `if(cell.recon.matched, cell.recon.match.name, value)` - I mapped all 170 items to their appropriate collections based on type and uploaded them to CGSpace ## 2020-03-16 - I'm looking at the CPU usage of CGSpace (linode18) over the past year and I see we *rarely* even go over two CPUs on average sustained usage: ![linode18 CPU usage year](/cgspace-notes/2020/03/cgspace-cpu-year.png) - Also clearly visible is the effect of CPU steal in 2019-03 ![linode18 RAM usage year](/cgspace-notes/2020/03/cgspace-memory-year.png) ![linode18 JVM heap usage year](/cgspace-notes/2020/03/cgspace-heap-year.png) - At max we have committed 10GB of RAM, the rest is used opportunistically by the filesystem cache, likely for Solr - There was a huge drop in 2019-07 when I changed the JVM settings - I think we should re-evaluate our deployment and perhaps target a different instance type and add block storage for assetstore (as we determined Linode's block storage to be too slow for Solr) ## 2020-03-17 - Update the PostgreSQL JDBC driver to version 42.2.11 - Maria from Bioversity asked me to add a new field for the combined subjects of Bioversity and CIAT, since they merged recently - We will use `cg.subject.alliancebiovciat` ## 2020-03-18 - Provision new Linode server (linode26) for DSpace Test to replace the current linode19 server - Improve DSpace role of [Ansible infrastructure playbooks](https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public) - We should install npm packages in the DSpace user's home directory instead of globally as root ## 2020-03-19 - Finalized migration of DSpace Test to linode26 and removed linode19 ## 2020-03-22 - Look over the AReS ToRs sent by Enrico and Moayad and add a few notes about missing GitHub issues - Hopefully now they can start working on the development!
