Class DSIndexer

java.lang.Object

org.dspace.search.DSIndexer

Deprecated.

Since DSpace 4 the system use an abstraction layer named Discovery to provide access to different search provider. The legacy system build upon Apache Lucene is likely to be removed in a future version. If you are interested in use Lucene as backend for the DSpace search system please consider to build a Lucene implementation of the Discovery interfaces

@Deprecated
public class DSIndexer
extends java.lang.Object

DSIndexer contains the methods that index Items and their metadata, collections, communities, etc. It is meant to either be invoked from the command line (see dspace/bin/index-all) or via the indexContent() methods within DSpace. As of 1.4.2 this class has new incremental update of index functionality and better detection of locked state thanks to Lucene 2.1 moving write.lock. It will attempt to attain a lock on the index in the event that an update is requested and will wait a maximum of 30 seconds (a worst case scenario) to attain the lock before giving up and logging the failure to log4j and to the DSpace administrator email account. The Administrator can choose to run DSIndexer in a cron that repeats regularly, a failed attempt to index from the UI will be "caught" up on in that cron.

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static void	cleanIndex(Context context) Deprecated. Iterates over all documents in the Lucene index and verifies they are in database, if not, they are removed.
static void	createIndex(Context c) Deprecated. create full index - wiping old index
static void	indexContent(Context context, DSpaceObject dso) Deprecated. If the handle for the "dso" already exists in the index, and the "dso" has a lastModified timestamp that is newer than the document in the index then it is updated, otherwise a new document is added.
static void	indexContent(Context context, DSpaceObject dso, boolean force) Deprecated. If the handle for the "dso" already exists in the index, and the "dso" has a lastModified timestamp that is newer than the document in the index then it is updated, otherwise a new document is added.
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Deprecated. When invoked as a command-line tool, creates, updates, removes content from the whole index
static void	optimizeIndex(Context c) Deprecated. Optimize the existing index.
static void	reIndexContent(Context context, DSpaceObject dso) Deprecated. reIndexContent removes something from the index, then re-indexes it
static void	setBatchProcessingMode(boolean mode) Deprecated.
static void	unIndexContent(Context context, DSpaceObject dso) Deprecated. unIndex removes an Item, Collection, or Community only works if the DSpaceObject has a handle (uses the handle for its unique ID)
static void	unIndexContent(Context context, java.lang.String handle) Deprecated. Unindex a Document in the Lucene Index.
static void	updateIndex(Context context) Deprecated. Iterates over all Items, Collections and Communities.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws java.sql.SQLException,

When invoked as a command-line tool, creates, updates, removes content from the whole index

args - the command-line arguments, none used

Throws:

java.io.IOException

java.sql.SQLException

updateIndex

public static void updateIndex(Context context)

Deprecated.

Iterates over all Items, Collections and Communities. And updates them in the index. Uses decaching to control memory footprint. Uses indexContent and isStale ot check state of item in index.

Parameters:

context -

updateIndex

public static void updateIndex(Context context,
               boolean force)

Deprecated.

Iterates over all Items, Collections and Communities. And updates them in the index. Uses decaching to control memory footprint. Uses indexContent and isStale to check state of item in index. At first it may appear counterintuitive to have an IndexWriter/Reader opened and closed on each DSO. But this allows the UI processes to step in and attain a lock and write to the index even if other processes/jvms are running a reindex.

Parameters:

context -

force -

cleanIndex

public static void cleanIndex(Context context)
                       throws java.io.IOException,
                              java.sql.SQLException

Deprecated.

Iterates over all documents in the Lucene index and verifies they are in database, if not, they are removed.

Parameters:

context -
