SMILA/Documentation/LuceneIndexPipelet

Bundle: org.eclipse.smila.lucene.pipelets.LuceneIndexPipelet

Description

This pipelet is used to index SMILA records in a Lucene document index. It supports adding, updating, and deleting records.

Configuration

Pipelet Configuration

The LuceneIndexPipelet uses the following parameters to decide on how to handle a record:

Name Value Description
indexname String The name of the index to work on
executionMode ADD or DELETE ADD - add or update the record, DELETE - delete the record from the index
allowDoublets Boolean true - allow doublets in the index, i.e. no check if a document already exists is performed, false - does not allow for doublets in the index, i.e. do a check if a document already exists and if so delete it first. Default is false.

The parameters can be set either in the record as part of the _parameters attribute (which is a single map with these values set), or in the pipelet configuration in BPEL (see below).

LuceneService Configuration Files

configuration/org.eclipse.smila.search.datadictionary/DataDictionary.xml

This file configures the Lucene index structure and the search template. It is possible to define more than one index here. The index to work on is set in the pipeline by the annotation indexName. The defined "FieldNo" is referenced in the file Mappings.xml. For more information about the configuration of DataDictionary.xml, see Anyfinder documentation. This file is used to prepare the settings for indices. When an index is needed, it is created automatically on demand, and the configuration is loaded from this file to create the index. (Note: The framework will also create a Datadictionary.xml file in the workspace. This file contains the information (settings/configuration) for created indices only). The framework will create an index by itself, when a record is configured to be stored in an index. But the user may as well use createIndex JMX command to create an index explicitly.

There are some new optional configuration options available for each index configuration which modify the flushing behavior of the underlying Lucene index. If they are not specified, the old logic (flush after every add/delete) is executed.

...
<Index Name="test_index" ForceFlush="false"
  RAMBufferSize="20" MaxBufferedDocs="100000"
  MaxBufferedDeleteTerms="100000">
...
Name Value Description
ForceFlush Boolean true - a flush is forced after a document is added/deleted; false - flushing is configured by the parameters below. Default is true. If set to true the parameters below have no effect.
RAMBufferSize Integer The amount of RAM in MB that may be used before the buffered in-memory documents are flushed. If no value is specified, the Lucene default of 16 MB is used. Refer to the Lucene documentation for details.
MaxBufferedDocs Integer The minimal number of documents required before the buffered in-memory documents are flushed. If no value is specified, Lucene uses flushing by RAMBufferSize by default. Refer to the Lucene documentation for details.
MaxBufferedDeleteTerms Integer The minimal number of delete terms required before the buffered in-memory delete terms are applied and flushed. If no value is specified, Lucene uses flushing by RAMBufferSize by default. Refer to the Lucene documentation for details.
Note

For best performance use ForceFlush="false" and RAMBufferSize with a meaningful value depending on your system resources. It is important to understand, that if ForceFlush="false" then added/deleted documents may not be visible in a search until a final flush is triggered. A flush is always performed when the bundle org.eclipse.smila.lucene is stopped. It is also possible to perform a manual flush via the JMX Console.

configuration/org.eclipse.smila.lucene/Mappings.xml

This file configures the mapping of attribute and attachment names to Lucene "FieldNo" (defined in DataDictionary.xml). It is possible to define mappings for multiple indices in this file, using the same "indexName" as in the file DataDictionary.xml.

Example

The following example was used in the SMILA example application to index records delivered by the File System or Web Crawler respectively.
