Alan Orth	3327884f21	Update docs to remove SQLite stuff ... I've decided to use PostgreSQL instead of SQLite because the UPSERT support is available in versions of PostgreSQL we're alread running, whereas SQLite needs a VERY new (3.24.0) version that is not avail- able on any recent long-term support Ubuntu releases.	2018-09-25 00:56:01 +03:00
Alan Orth	8f7450f67a	Use PostgreSQL instead of SQLite ... I was very surprised how easy and fast and robust SQLite was, but in the end I realized that its UPSERT support only came in version 3.24 and both Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 have older versions than that! I did manage to install libsqlite3-0 from Ubuntu 18.04 cosmic on my xenial host, but that feels dirty. PostgreSQL has support for UPSERT since 9.5, not to mention the same nice LIMIT and OFFSET clauses.	2018-09-25 00:49:47 +03:00
Alan Orth	2cab456f16	indexer.py: Use single items table with UPSERT ... I was using two separate tables for item views and downloads without realizing that SQLite didn't support FULL OUTER JOIN, which would be needed to get views and downloads for a given item in a single query. Instead I can use one table with a default value of 0 for both views and downloads, and then use "UPSERT" to populate the statistics. This is a newish SQL concept that allows you to attempt an INSERT and then specify an action to perform in case of conflict. This works well in SQLite and actually simplifies my Python logic greatly! Note that the "excluded" table qualifier is a special keyword that allows you to reference the value that would have been inserted. See: https://www.sqlite.org/lang_UPSERT.html	2018-09-24 14:19:50 +03:00

Alan Orth	a51422273c	Remove SOLR_CORE configuration variable ... This parameter is not customizable. All DSpace instances use this name for the Solr statistics core.	2018-09-24 00:20:54 +03:00
Alan Orth	89621af85d	Split database access into RW and RO ... The indexer need to be able to write to the database, but the API only needs to read it.	2018-09-24 00:00:05 +03:00
Alan Orth	2db5e02be9	Add indexer.py ... Standalone script to ingest item views and downloads from Solr into SQLite.	2018-09-23 16:47:48 +03:00
