• CGSpace was down for five hours in the morning while I was sleeping
• While looking in the logs for errors, I see tons of warnings about Atmire MQM:

• I see thousands of them in the logs for the last few months, so it's not related to the DSpace 5.5 upgrade
• I've raised a ticket with Atmire to ask
• Another worrying error from dspace.log is:

• The first error I see in dspace.log this morning is:

2016-12-02 03:00:46,656 ERROR org.dspace.authority.AuthorityValueFinder @ anonymous::Error while retrieving AuthorityValue from solr:query\colon; id\colon;"b0b541c1-ec15-48bf-9209-6dbe8e338cdc"
org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServerException: Server refused connection at: http://localhost:8081/solr/authority

• Looking through DSpace's solr log I see that about 20 seconds before this, there were a few 30+ KiB solr queries
• The last logs here right before Solr became unresponsive (and right after I restarted it five hours later) were:

2016-12-02 03:00:42,606 INFO  org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore @ [statistics] webapp=/solr path=/select params={q=containerItem:72828+AND+type:0&shards=localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2010,localhost:8081/solr/statistics&fq=-isInternal:true&fq=-(author_mtdt:"CGIAR\+Institutional\+Learning\+and\+Change\+Initiative"++AND+subject_mtdt:"PARTNERSHIPS"+AND+subject_mtdt:"RESEARCH"+AND+subject_mtdt:"AGRICULTURE"+AND+subject_mtdt:"DEVELOPMENT"++AND+iso_mtdt:"en"+)&rows=0&wt=javabin&version=2} hits=0 status=0 QTime=19
2016-12-02 08:28:23,908 INFO  org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter @ SolrDispatchFilter.init()

• DSpace's own Solr logs don't give IP addresses, so I will have to enable Nginx's logging of /solr so I can see where this request came from
• I enabled logging of /rest/ and I think I'll leave it on for good
• Also, the disk is nearly full because of log file issues, so I'm running some compression on DSpace logs
• Normally these stay uncompressed for a month just in case we need to look at them, so now I've just compressed anything older than 2 weeks so we can get some disk space back

• I got a weird report from the CGSpace checksum checker this morning
• It says 732 bitstreams have potential issues, for example:

------------------------------------------------ 
Bitstream Id = 6
Process Start Date = Dec 4, 2016
Process End Date = Dec 4, 2016
Checksum Expected = a1d9eef5e2d85f50f67ce04d0329e96a
Checksum Calculated = a1d9eef5e2d85f50f67ce04d0329e96a
Result = Bitstream marked deleted in bitstream table
----------------------------------------------- 
...
------------------------------------------------ 
Bitstream Id = 77581
Process Start Date = Dec 4, 2016
Process End Date = Dec 4, 2016
Checksum Expected = 9959301aa4ca808d00957dff88214e38
Checksum Calculated = 
Result = The bitstream could not be found
----------------------------------------------- 

• The first one seems ok, but I don't know what to make of the second one...
• I had a look and there is indeed no file with the second checksum in the assetstore (ie, looking in [dspace-dir]/assetstore/99/59/30/...)
• For what it's worth, there is no item on DSpace Test or S3 backups with that checksum either...
• In other news, I'm looking at JVM settings from the Solr 4.10.2 release, from bin/solr.in.sh:

# These GC settings have shown to work well for a number of common Solr workloads
GC_TUNE="-XX:-UseSuperWord \
-XX:NewRatio=3 \
-XX:SurvivorRatio=4 \
-XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 \
-XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=8 \
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC \
-XX:+UseParNewGC \
-XX:ConcGCThreads=4 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 \
-XX:+CMSScavengeBeforeRemark \
-XX:PretenureSizeThreshold=64m \
-XX:CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction=1 \

-XX:CMSTriggerPermRatio=80 \
-XX:CMSMaxAbortablePrecleanTime=6000 \
-XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled \
-XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled \
-XX:+AggressiveOpts"

• I need to try these because they are recommended by the Solr project itself
• Also, as always, I need to read Shawn Heisey's wiki page on Solr

• I did some basic benchmarking on a local DSpace before and after the JVM settings above, but there wasn't anything amazingly obvious
• I want to make the changes on DSpace Test and monitor the JVM heap graphs for a few days to see if they change the JVM GC patterns or anything (munin graphs)
• Spin up new CGSpace server on Linode
• I did a few traceroutes from Jordan and Kenya and it seems that Linode's Frankfurt datacenter is a few less hops and perhaps less packet loss than the London one, so I put the new server in Frankfurt
• Do initial provisioning
• Atmire responded about the MQM warnings in the DSpace logs
• Apparently we need to change the batch edit consumers in dspace/config/dspace.cfg:

event.consumer.batchedit.filters = Community|Collection+Create

• I haven't tested it yet, but I created a pull request: #289

2016-12-06

• Some author authority corrections and name standardizations for Peter:

dspace=# update metadatavalue set authority='b041f2f4-19e7-4113-b774-0439baabd197', confidence=600 where metadata_field_id=3 and resource_type_id=2 and text_value like 'Mora Benard%';

UPDATE 561

• Pay attention to the regex to prevent false positives in tricky cases with Dutch names!
• I will run these updates on DSpace Test and then force a Discovery reindex, and then run them on CGSpace next week
• More work on the KM4Dev Journal article
• In other news, it seems the batch edit patch is working, there are no more WARN errors in the logs and the batch edit seems to work
• I need to check the CGSpace logs to see if there are still errors there, and then deploy/monitor it there
• Paola from CCAFS mentioned she also has the "take task" bug on CGSpace
• Reading about shared_buffers in PostgreSQL configuration (default is 128MB)
• Looks like we have ~5GB of memory used by caches on the test server (after OS and JVM heap!), so we might as well bump up the buffers for Postgres
• The docs say a good starting point for a dedicated server is 25% of the system RAM, and our server isn't dedicated (also runs Solr, which can benefit from OS cache) so let's try 1024MB
• In other news, the authority reindexing keeps crashing (I was manually running it after the author updates above):

• For what it's worth, after running the same SQL updates on my local test server, index-authority runs and completes just fine
• I will have to test more
• Anyways, I noticed that some of the authority values I set actually have versions of author names we don't want, ie "Grace, D."
• For example, do a Solr query for "first_name:Grace" and look at the results
• Querying that ID shows the fields that need to be changed:

{
  "responseHeader": {
    "status": 0,
    "QTime": 1,
    "params": {
      "q": "id:0b4fcbc1-d930-4319-9b4d-ea1553cca70b",
      "indent": "true",
      "wt": "json",
      "_": "1481102189244"
    }
  },
  "response": {
    "numFound": 1,
    "start": 0,
    "docs": [
      {
        "id": "0b4fcbc1-d930-4319-9b4d-ea1553cca70b",
        "field": "dc_contributor_author",
        "value": "Grace, D.",
        "deleted": false,
        "creation_date": "2016-11-10T15:13:40.318Z",
        "last_modified_date": "2016-11-10T15:13:40.318Z",
        "authority_type": "person",
        "first_name": "D.",
        "last_name": "Grace"
      }
    ]
  }
}

• I think I can just update the value, first_name, and last_name fields...
• The update syntax should be something like this, but I'm getting errors from Solr:

$ curl 'localhost:8081/solr/authority/update?commit=true&wt=json&indent=true' -H 'Content-type:application/json' -d '[{"id":"1","price":{"set":100}}]'
{
  "responseHeader":{
    "status":400,
    "QTime":0},
  "error":{
    "msg":"Unexpected character '[' (code 91) in prolog; expected '<'\n at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1]",
    "code":400}}

• When I try using the XML format I get an error that the updateLog needs to be configured for that core
• Maybe I can just remove the authority UUID from the records, run the indexing again so it creates a new one for each name variant, then match them correctly?

dspace=# update metadatavalue set authority=null, confidence=-1 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like 'Grace, D%';
UPDATE 561

• Then I'll reindex discovery and authority and see how the authority Solr core looks
• After this, now there are authorities for some of the "Grace, D." and "Grace, Delia" text_values in the database (the first version is actually the same authority that already exists in the core, so it was just added back to some text_values, but the second one is new):

$ curl 'localhost:8081/solr/authority/select?q=id%3A18ea1525-2513-430a-8817-a834cd733fbc&wt=json&indent=true'
{
  "responseHeader":{
    "status":0,
    "QTime":0,
    "params":{
      "q":"id:18ea1525-2513-430a-8817-a834cd733fbc",
      "indent":"true",
      "wt":"json"}},
  "response":{"numFound":1,"start":0,"docs":[
      {
        "id":"18ea1525-2513-430a-8817-a834cd733fbc",
        "field":"dc_contributor_author",
        "value":"Grace, Delia",
        "deleted":false,
        "creation_date":"2016-12-07T10:54:34.356Z",
        "last_modified_date":"2016-12-07T10:54:34.356Z",
        "authority_type":"person",
        "first_name":"Delia",
        "last_name":"Grace"}]
  }}

• So now I could set them all to this ID and the name would be ok, but there has to be a better way!
• In this case it seems that since there were also two different IDs in the original database, I just picked the wrong one!
• Better to use:

dspace#= update metadatavalue set text_value='Grace, Delia', authority='bfa61d7c-7583-4175-991c-2e7315000f0c', confidence=600 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like 'Grace, D%';

• This proves that unifying author name varieties in authorities is easy, but fixing the name in the authority is tricky!
• Perhaps another way is to just add our own UUID to the authority field for the text_value we like, then re-index authority so they get synced from PostgreSQL to Solr, then set the other text_values to use that authority ID
• Deploy MQM WARN fix on CGSpace (#289)
• Deploy "take task" hack/fix on CGSpace (#290)
• I ran the following author corrections and then reindexed discovery:

update metadatavalue set authority='b041f2f4-19e7-4113-b774-0439baabd197', confidence=600 where metadata_field_id=3 and resource_type_id=2 and text_value like 'Mora Benard%';
update metadatavalue set text_value = 'Hoek, Rein van der', authority='4d6cbce2-6fd5-4b43-9363-58d18e7952c9', confidence=600 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like 'Hoek, R%';
update metadatavalue set text_value = 'Hoek, Rein van der', authority='4d6cbce2-6fd5-4b43-9363-58d18e7952c9', confidence=600 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like '%an der Hoek%' and text_value !~ '^.*W\.?$';
update metadatavalue set authority='18349f29-61b1-44d7-ac60-89e55546e812', confidence=600 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like 'Thorne, P%';
update metadatavalue set authority='0d8369bb-57f7-4b2f-92aa-af820b183aca', confidence=600 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like 'Thornton, P%';
update metadatavalue set text_value='Grace, Delia', authority='bfa61d7c-7583-4175-991c-2e7315000f0c', confidence=600 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like 'Grace, D%';

2016-12-08

• Something weird happened and Peter Thorne's names all ended up as "Thorne", I guess because the original authority had that as its name value:

dspace=# select distinct text_value, authority, confidence from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like 'Thorne%';
    text_value    |              authority               | confidence

(6 rows)

• I generated a new UUID using uuidgen | tr [A-Z] [a-z] and set it along with correct name variation for all records:

dspace=# update metadatavalue set authority='b2f7603d-2fb5-4018-923a-c4ec8d85b3bb', text_value='Thorne, P.J.' where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and authority='18349f29-61b1-44d7-ac60-89e55546e812';
UPDATE 43

• Apparently we also need to normalize Phil Thornton's names to Thornton, Philip K.:

dspace=# select distinct text_value, authority, confidence from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value ~ '^Thornton[,\.]? P.*';
     text_value      |              authority               | confidence

(10 rows)

• Seems his original authorities are using an incorrect version of the name so I need to generate another UUID and tie it to the correct name, then reindex:

dspace=# update metadatavalue set authority='2df8136e-d8f4-4142-b58c-562337cab764', text_value='Thornton, Philip K.', confidence=600 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value ~ '^Thornton[,\.]? P.*';
UPDATE 362

• It seems that, when you are messing with authority and author text values in the database, it is better to run authority reindex first (postgres→solr authority core) and then Discovery reindex (postgres→solr Discovery core)
• Everything looks ok after authority and discovery reindex
• In other news, I think we should really be using more RAM for PostgreSQL's shared_buffers
• The PostgreSQL documentation recommends using 25% of the system's RAM on dedicated systems, but we should use a bit less since we also have a massive JVM heap and also benefit from some RAM being used by the OS cache

2016-12-09

• More work on finishing rough draft of KM4Dev article
• Set PostgreSQL's shared_buffers on CGSpace to 10% of system RAM (1200MB)
• Run the following author corrections on CGSpace:

dspace=# update metadatavalue set authority='34df639a-42d8-4867-a3f2-1892075fcb3f', text_value='Thorne, P.J.' where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and authority='18349f29-61b1-44d7-ac60-89e55546e812' or authority='021cd183-946b-42bb-964e-522ebff02993';
dspace=# update metadatavalue set authority='2df8136e-d8f4-4142-b58c-562337cab764', text_value='Thornton, Philip K.', confidence=600 where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value ~ '^Thornton[,\.]? P.*';

• The authority IDs were different now than when I was looking a few days ago so I had to adjust them here

2016-12-11

• After enabling a sizable shared_buffers for CGSpace's PostgreSQL configuration the number of connections to the database dropped significantly

• Looking at CIAT records from last week again, they have a lot of double authors like:

International Center for Tropical Agriculture::3026b1de-9302-4f3e-85ab-ef48da024eb2::600
International Center for Tropical Agriculture::3026b1de-9302-4f3e-85ab-ef48da024eb2::500
International Center for Tropical Agriculture::3026b1de-9302-4f3e-85ab-ef48da024eb2::0

• Some in the same dc.contributor.author field, and some in others like dc.contributor.author[en_US] etc
• Removing the duplicates in OpenRefine and uploading a CSV to DSpace says "no changes detected"
• Seems like the only way to sortof clean these up would be to start in SQL:

dspace=# select distinct text_value, authority, confidence from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=3 and text_value like 'International Center for Tropical Agriculture';
                  text_value                   |              authority               | confidence

UPDATE 35

• Work on article for KM4Dev journal

2016-12-13

• Checking in on CGSpace postgres stats again, looks like the shared_buffers change from a few days ago really made a big impact:

• Looking at logs, it seems we need to evaluate which logs we keep and for how long
• Basically the only ones we need are dspace.log because those are used for legacy statistics (need to keep for 1 month)
• Other logs will be an issue because they don't have date stamps
• I will add date stamps to the logs we're storing from the tomcat7 user's cron jobs at least, using: $(date --iso-8601)
• Would probably be better to make custom logrotate files for them in the future
• Clean up some unneeded log files from 2014 (they weren't large, just don't need them)
• So basically, new cron jobs for logs should look something like this:
• Find any file named *.log* that isn't dspace.log*, isn't already zipped, and is older than one day, and zip it:

# find /home/dspacetest.cgiar.org/log -regextype posix-extended -iregex ".*\.log.*" ! -iregex ".*dspace\.log.*" ! -iregex ".*\.(gz|lrz|lzo|xz)" ! -newermt "Yesterday" -exec schedtool -B -e ionice -c2 -n7 xz {} \;

• Since there is xzgrep and xzless we can actually just zip them after one day, why not?!
• We can keep the zipped ones for two weeks just in case we need to look for errors, etc, and delete them after that
• I use schedtool -B and ionice -c2 -n7 to set the CPU scheduling to SCHED_BATCH and the IO to best effort which should, in theory, impact important system processes like Tomcat and PostgreSQL less
• When the tasks are running you can see that the policies do apply:

$ schedtool $(ps aux | grep "xz /home" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}') && ionice -p $(ps aux | grep "xz /home" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')
PID 17049: PRIO   0, POLICY B: SCHED_BATCH   , NICE   0, AFFINITY 0xf
best-effort: prio 7

• All in all this should free up a few gigs (we were at 9.3GB free when I started)
• Next thing to look at is whether we need Tomcat's access logs
• I just looked and it seems that we saved 10GB by zipping these logs
• Some users pointed out issues with the "most popular" stats on a community or collection
• This error appears in the logs when you try to view them:

• Start planning for server migration this weekend, letting users know
• I am trying to figure out what the process is to update the server's IP in the Handle system, and emailing the hdladmin account bounces(!)
• I will contact the Jane Euler directly as I know I've corresponded with her in the past
• She said that I should indeed just re-run the [dspace]/bin/dspace make-handle-config command and submit the new sitebndl.zip file to the CNRI website
• Also I was troubleshooting some workflow issues from Bizuwork
• I re-created the same scenario by adding a non-admin account and submitting an item, but I was able to successfully approve and commit it
• So it turns out it's not a bug, it's just that Peter was added as a reviewer/admin AFTER the items were submitted
• This is how DSpace works, and I need to ask if there is a way to override someone's submission, as the other reviewer seems to not be paying attention, or has perhaps taken the item from the task pool?
• Run a batch edit to add "RANGELANDS" ILRI subject to all items containing the word "RANGELANDS" in their metadata for Peter Ballantyne

• Last week, when we asked CGNET to update the DNS records this weekend, they misunderstood and did it immediately
• We quickly told them to undo it, but I just realized they didn't undo the IPv6 AAAA record!
• None of our users in African institutes will have IPv6, but some Europeans might, so I need to check if any submissions have been added since then
• Update some names and authorities in the database:

• It took about twenty minutes and afterwards I had to check a few things, like:
  • check and enable systemd timer for let's encrypt
  • enable root cron jobs
  • disable root cron jobs on old server after!
  • enable tomcat7 cron jobs
  • disable tomcat7 cron jobs on old server after!
  • regenerate sitebndl.zip with new IP for handle server and submit it to Handle.net

• Abenet wanted a CSV of the IITA community, but the web export doesn't include the dc.date.accessioned field
• I had to export it from the command line using the -a flag:

$ [dspace]/bin/dspace metadata-export -a -f /tmp/iita.csv -i 10568/68616

• We've been getting two alerts per day about CPU usage on the new server from Linode
• These are caused by the batch jobs for Solr etc that run in the early morning hours
• The Linode default is to alert at 90% CPU usage for two hours, but I see the old server was at 150%, so maybe we just need to adjust it
• Speaking of the old server (linode01), I think we can decommission it now
• I checked the S3 logs on the new server (linode18) to make sure the backups have been running and everything looks good
• In other news, I was looking at the Munin graphs for PostgreSQL on the new server and it looks slightly worrying:

• I will have to check later why the size keeps increasing
