7.0 Release Date: 2021-03-19 7.1 Forthcoming |
Highlights in 7.1
Current Snapshot:
- Fixed (after many years)
whereby all generated revisit-records had badly formatted WARC-Payload-Digest fields and were therefore invalid according to the Warc standard.Jira Legacy server System JIRA columns key,summary,type,created,updated,due,assignee,reporter,priority,status,resolution serverId 81c76265-cab2-3ba5-b74d-ee7cd9a2765e key NAS-2870 - Added 3 new link extractors (from the British Library) to heritrix :
org.archive.modules.extractor.ExtractorRobotsTxt
- org.archive.modules.extractor.ExtractorSitemap
- org.archive.modules.extractor.ExtractorJson
Note that ExtractorSitemap deviates slightly in functionality from the British Library version in that it is considerably more lenient in both what it identifies as a sitemap and what Urls it accepts in sitemaps.
- Added caching of crawl logs when hadoop is used for processing
- Added caching of metadata-file indexes when hadoop is used for processing
- Added retry functionality to improve the robustness of the WarcRecordClient
- Fixed a bug whereby files uploaded from a harvester were not being deleted when the Bitmagasin backend is in use
Added retry-handling to Bitmagasin uploads via two new settings keys under settings.common.arcrepositoryClient.bitrepository
Code Block <store_retries>3</store_retries> <retryWaitSeconds>1800</retryWaitSeconds>
Added parameters to manage memory and core usage in hadoop mapper-only jobs
Code Block settings.common.hadoop.mapred.mapMemoryMb settings.common.hadoop.mapred.mapMemoryCores
Added support for uberized jobs optimised for small tasks in hadoop vis
Code Block settings.common.hadoop.mapred.enableUbertask
Added hdfs caching functionality to hadoop jobs. When this feature is enabled, any local files passed as input to the hadoop job are first copied into hdfs and cached for future use. This should create savings when the same file is processed multiple times, as is often the case for metadata files. This functionality is controlled by the following parameters
Code Block settings.common.hadoop.mapred.hdfsCacheEnabled settings.common.hadoop.mapred.hdfsCacheDir settings.common.hadoop.mapred.hdfsCacheDays
- Improved the performance of the GUI functionality associated with the button "Browse only relevant crawl-log lines for this domain".
The new caching functionality for crawl logs and metadata indexes stores data in a directory specified by the setting
Code Block |
---|
settings.common.webinterface.metadata_cache_dir |
whose default value is "metadata_cache" (relative to the current working directory where the GUIApplication is started). At present there is no automatic cleaning of this directory.
Highlights in 7.0
NetarchiveSuite 7.0 introduces an entirely new backend storage and mass-processing implementation based on software from bitrepository.org and hadoop. The new functionality is enabled by defining the following key in the settings file for all applications:
Code Block |
---|
<settings> <common> <arcrepositoryClient> <class>dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.distribute.BitmagArcRepositoryClient</class> |
and additionally
Code Block |
---|
<settings> <common> <useBitmagHadoopBackend>true</useBitmagHadoopBackend> |
The older arcrepositoryClient implementation dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.distribute.JMSArcRepositoryClient
will be deprecated in future releases. (The developers are unaware of any other organisations currently using the older client, but please contact us if you still rely on it.)
The new architecture introduces many new keys and external configuration files. There is therefore a separate Guide To Configuring the NetarchiveSuite 7.0 Backend.
Upgrading From Previous NetarchiveSuite Releases
For those using either JMSArcRepositoryClient or LocalArcRepositoryClient there should be no special requirements to upgrade.
