"mainrepo" ws a bad name and artifact from the early days when I
intended for there to be a "spamrepo" (now just the
ENV{PI_EMERGENCY} Maildir). With v2, "mainrepo" can be
especially confusing, since v2 needs at least two git
repositories (epoch + all.git) to function and we shouldn't
confuse users by having them point to a git repository for v2.
Much of our documentation already references "INBOX_DIR" for
command-line arguments, so use "inboxdir" as the
git-config(1)-friendly variant for that.
"mainrepo" remains supported indefinitely for compatibility.
Users may need to revert to old versions, or may be referring
to old documentation and must not be forced to change config
files to account for this change.
So if you're using "mainrepo" today, I do NOT recommend changing
it right away because other bugs can lurk.

Now that the code matches Xapian terminology, ensure
our comments match, too.
|
|
Another step towards keeping our internal data structures
consistent with Xapian naming.
|
|
PublicInbox::Inbox objects have minimal dependencies, so
drop code to support old tests which existed before the
PublicInbox::Inbox object came into existence.
|
|
Make it easier to detect if a partition is corrupt.
|
|
And use it from Admin.
It's easy to tell what indexlevel=basic is from unconfigured
inboxes, but distinguishing between 'medium' and 'full' would
require stat()-ing position.* files which is fragile and
Xapian-implementation-dependent.
So use the metadata facility of Xapian and store it in the main
partition so Admin tools can deal better with unconfigured
inboxes copied using generic tools like cp(1) or rsync(1).
|
|
We can't pass an empty string to `git merge-base --is-ancestor'
AFAIK, this did NOT present issues in the current test suite.
|
|
Emit information about reindexing git revision ranges when used
with xcpdb. Additionally, distinguish Xapian copy output from
v2 git epoch counting by increasing directory context info.
For now, v1 batches batches are emitted. v2 indexing is still
missing progress reporting for batches, as the data structures
for reindexing would benefit from a refactoring, first.
This does not currently affect the use of public-inbox-index,
but may in the future.
|
|
Copying an entire Xapian DB takes a long time, so update our
reindexing code to support partial reindexing, snapshot the
pre-copydatabase git revisions, perform the lengthy copy,
and do a partial reindex when the copy + renames are done.

* origin/xap-optional:

searchidx: do not create empty Xapian partitions for basic
lazy load Xapian and make it optional for v2
www: use Inbox->over where appropriate
nntp: use Inbox->over directly

|
We only compress in OverIdx, now; since we no longer do overview
stuff in Xapian (and Xapian compresses document data, anyways).
|
|
No point in leaving a mess of empty directories when Xapian
doesn't load.
|
|
More tests work without Search::Xapian, now.
Usability issues still need to be fixed
|
|
We were reindexing the full history every invocation of -index
when Xapian was not used because we were incorrectly relying on
'last_commit' metadata stored in Xapian.
Rewrite the indexing logic to be less confusing while we're
at it, since we rely on `git merge-base --is-ancestor' nowadays.
Furthermore, we need to handle message removals from the
overview index correctly when Xapian is not in use.

This allows v1 tests to continue working on git 1.8.0 for
now. This allows git 2.1.4 packaged with Debian 8 ("jessie")
to run old tests, at least.
I suppose it's safe to drop Debian 7 ("wheezy") due to our
dependency on git 1.8.0 for "merge-base --is-ancestor".
Writing V2 repositories requires git 2.6 for "get-mark"
support, so mask out tests for older gits.
|
|
We don't need to be carrying this around with the many SearchMsg
objects we have. This saves about 20K from a large SearchView
"&x=t" response.
|
|
The new t/*filter_rubylang.t tests call -index immediately
after -init, which causes confusing messages to show up to
the end user.
Check the validity of the ref before calling "git-log".
|

I've found two examples on https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/
where the messages declared themselves to be "multipart/mixed"
but were actually plain text:
<87llgalspt.fsf@free.fr>
<200308111450.h7BEoOu20077@mail.osdl.org>
With the mboxrd downloaded, mutt is able to view them without
difficulty.
Note: this change would require reindexing of Xapian to pick up
the changes. But it's only two ancient messages, the first was
resent by the original sender and the second is too old to be
relevant.

Incremental indexing fixes from Eric W. Biederman.
These prevents the highest message number in msgmap from
being reassigned after deletes in rare cases and ensures
messages are deleted from msgmap in v2.
* eb/index-incremental:
V2Writeable.pm: In unindex_oid delete the message from msgmap
V2Writeable.pm: Ensure that a found message number is in the msgmap
SearchIdx,V2Writeable: Update num_highwater on optimized deletes
t/v[12]reindex.t: Verify the num highwater is as expected
t/v[12]reindex.t Verify num_highwater
Msgmap.pm: Track the largest value of num ever assigned
SearchIdx.pm: Always assign numbers backwards during incremental indexing
t/v[12]reindex.t: Test incremental indexing works
t/v[12]reindex.t: Test that the resulting msgmap is as expected
t/v[12]reindex.t: Place expected second in Xapian tests
t/v2reindex.t: Isolate the test cases more
t/v1reindex.t: Isolate the test cases
Import.pm: Don't assume {in} and {out} always exist
|
|
When performing an incremental index update with index_sync if a message is seen
to be both added and deleted update the num_highwater mark even though the
message is not otherwise indexed.
This ensures index_sync generates the same msgmap no matter which commit
it stops at during incremental syncs.

Today the only thing that prevents public-inbox not reusing the
message numbers of deleted messages is the sqlite autoincrement magic
and that only works part of the time. The new incremental indexing
test has revealed areas where today public-inbox does try to reuse
numbers of deleted messages.
Reusing the message numbers of existing messages is a problem because
if a client ever sees messages that are subsequently deleted the
client will not see the new messages with their old numbers.
In practice this is difficult to trigger because it requires the most
recently added message to be removed and have the removal show up in a
separate pull request. Still it can happen and it should be handled.
Instead of infering the highset number ever used by finding the maximum
number in the message map, track the largest number ever assigned directly.
Update Msgmap to track this value and update the indexers to use this
value.

Not sure what was going through my mind when I made my first
attempt at this, but we really want to make sure we index all
the text we display in the web view (and presumably anything a
reasonable mail client can display).

When walking messages newest to oldest, assigning the larger numbers
before smaller numbers ensures older messages get smaller numbers.
This leads to the possibility of a msgmap that can be regenerated when
needed.

For v1 repos, we don't need to write any metadata to Xapian
and changing from 'basic' to 'medium' or 'full' will work.
For v2, the metadata for indexing is stored in msgmap (because
the Xapian databases are partitioned for parallelism), so a
reindex is required.

Xapian documents and respect XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD to define
the interval in documents to flush, so don't override it with
our own BATCH_BYTES. This is helpful for initial indexing for
those on slower storage but enough RAM.
It is unnecessary for -watch and frequent incremental indexing;
and it increases transaction times if -watch is playing "catch-up"
if it was stopped for a while.
The original BATCH_BYTES was tuned for a machine with little
memory as the default XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD of 10000 documents
was causing swap storms. Using document counts also proved an
innaccurate estimator of RAM usage compared to the actual bytes
processed.

This adds a new inbox configuration option 'indexlevel' that can take
the values 'full', 'medium', and 'basic'.
When set to 'full' everything is indexed including the positions
of all terms.
When set to 'medium' everything except the positions of terms is
indexed.
When set to 'basic' terms and positions are not indexed. Just the
Overview database for NNTP is created. Which is still quite good and
allows searching for messages by Message-ID. But there are no indexes to support
searching inside the email messages themselves.
Update the reindex tests to exercise the full medium and basic code paths

Create a new method add_xapian that holds all of the code to create
Xapian indexes. The creation of this method simpliy involved
idenitifying the relevant code and moving it from add_message.
A call is added to add_xapian from add_message to keep everything
working as it currently does. The new call is made conditional upon
index levels of 'full' and 'medium'. The index levels that index
positions and terms the two things public-inbox uses Xapian to index.

About half the size of the Xapian search index turns out to be search
positions. The search positions are only used in a very narrow set of
queries. Make the search positions optional so people don't need to
pay the cost of queries they will never make.
This also makes public-inbox more approachable for light hacking as
generating all of the indexes is time consuming.
The way this is done is to add a method to SearchIdx called index_text
that wraps the call of the term generator method index_text. The new
index_text method takes care of calling both index_text and
increase_termpos (the two functions that are responsible for position
data).
Then index_users, index_diff_inc, index_old_diff_fn, index_diff,
index_body are made proper methods that calls the new index_text.
Callers of the new index_text are slightly simplified as they don't
need to call increase_termpos as well.

Decrement regen_down when visiting messages that appear in %D that we
know will later be deleted. This ensures consistent message numbers are
generated no matter which commit number is on top. Allowing deletes to
propagage separately from the messages they delete without causing
problems.
The v2 trees already do this and when the indexes are deleted and
rebuilt they maintain they commit numbers.
Add a v1 version of the v2reindex test to verify that reindexing is
working properly on v1 as well as v2.

Xapian v1.2.21..v1.2.24 (inclusive) use OFD locks but failed to
set the close-on-exec flag on those locks. So we must continue
to work around those old versions by ensuring Xapian file
descriptors aren't held any longer than necessary when in
long-running git processes.

Xapian will replace files upon committing, so non-parallel
V2Writable users need to have umask preserved this way.

"LIKE" in SQLite (and other SQL implementations I've seen) is
expensive with nearly 3 million messages in the archives.
This caused some partial Message-ID lookups to take over 600ms
on my workstation (~300ms on a faster Xeon). Cut that to below
under 30ms on average on my workstation by relying exclusively
on Xapian for partial Message-ID lookups as we have in the past.
Unlike in the past when we tried using Xapian to match partial
Message-IDs; we now optimize our indexing of Message-IDs to
break apart "words" in Message-IDs for searching, yielding
(hopefully) "good enough" accuracy for folks who get long URLs
broken across lines when copy+pasting.
We'll also drop the (in retrospect) pointless stripping of
"/[tTf]" suffixes for the partial match, since anybody who
hits that codepath would be hitting an invalid message ID.
Finally, limit wildcard expansion to prevent easy DoS vectors
on short terms.
And blame Pine and alpine for generating Message-IDs with
low-entropy prefixes :P

Relaxing this lock during a v1 --reindex is important to keep
messages showing up in -watch process in a timely manner.
Looks like I deleted an extra line when doing the following
for v2:
s/xdb->commit_transaction/self->commit_txn_lazy/
Fixes: 35ff6bb106909b1c ("replace Xapian skeleton with SQLite overview DB")

This increases indexing time by around 10% but roughly
halves memory usage of an -index process.
We will probably make this tunable in the future for people
with bigger/smaller machines.
|
|
We do not want phrase searches to cross between independent
fields (filenames/Message-ID vs bodies)
|
|
Some messages to git@vger went missing from Msgmap from old bugs
and became inaccessible via NNTP. Forcing NNTP article numbers
when the overview DB came about made the problem more visible when
reindexing old (v1) repositories as all removed spam messages
took up AUTOINCREMENT numbers again before they were removed.
Having large gaps in NNTP article numbers is not good since it
throws off NNTP clients. This does NOT prevent NNTP clients from
seeing some messages twice, but is better than having them
miss several messages entirely.
We also avoid depending on --reverse in git-log, as
git requires storing an entire commit list in memory for
--reverse, so it's cheaper to store only deleted blobs in the %D
hash since they do not live long.

I'm not sure how useful this view is, but it exists for now.
|

Otherwise articles show up again...

Since we only query the SQLite over DB for OVER/XOVER; do not
need to waste space storing fields To/Cc/:bytes/:lines or the
XNUM term. We only use From/Subject/References/Message-ID/:blob
in various places of the PSGI code.
For reindexing, we will take advantage of docid stability
in "xapian-compact --no-renumber" to ensure duplicates do not
show up in search results. Since the PSGI interface is the
only consumer of Xapian at the moment, it has no need to
search based on NNTP article number.
|

Since the overview stuff is a synchronization point anyways,
move it into the main V2Writable process and allow us to
drop a bunch of code. This is another step towards making
Xapian optional for v2.
In other words, the fan-out point is moved and the Xapian
partitions no longer need to synchronize against each other:
Before:
/-------->\
/---------->\
v2writable -->+----parts----> over
\---------->/
\-------->/
After:
/---------->
/----------->
v2writable --> over-->+----parts--->
\----------->
\---------->
Since the overview/threading logic needs to run on the same core
that feeds git-fast-import, it's slower for small repos but is
not noticeable in large imports where I/O wait in the partitions
dominates.
|
|
Favor simpler internal APIs this time around, this cuts
a fair amount of code out and takes another step towards
removing Xapian as a dependency for v2 repos.
|
|
Dscho found this useful for finding matching git commits based
on AuthorDate in git. Add it to the overview DB format, too;
so in the future we can support v2 repos without Xapian.

This allows us to emulate the display of thread-aware MUAs when
multiple messages share the same Message-ID. This also is a
place where "public-inbox-index --reindex" is useful to fix
existing messages and no schema version bump is necessary.
|
|
This ought to provide better performance and scalability
which is less dependent on inbox size. Xapian does not
seem optimized for some queries used by the WWW homepage,
Atom feeds, XOVER and NEWNEWS NNTP commands.
This can actually make Xapian optional for NNTP usage,
and allow more functionality to work without Xapian
installed.
Indexing performance was extremely bad at first, but
DBI::Profile helped me optimize away problematic queries.

|
We can store :bytes and :lines in doc_data since we never
sort or search by them. We don't have much use for the Date:
stamp at the moment, either.

We will vivify multiple ghosts if a message has multiple
Message-IDs.
