[jira] [Created] (NUTCH-1481) When using MySQL as storage unicode characters within URLS cause nutch to fail

Arni Sumarlidason created NUTCH-1481:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: When using MySQL as storage unicode characters within URLS cause nutch to fail
                 Key: NUTCH-1481
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1481
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: crawldb
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: mysql 5.5.28 on centos
            Reporter: Arni Sumarlidason


MySQL's (innodb) primary key / unique key is restricted to 767 bytes.. currently the url of a web page is used as a primary key in nutch storage.

when using latin1 character set on the 'id' column @ length 767 bytes/characters; unicode characters in urls cause jdbc to throw an exception,
java.io.IOException: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Incorrect string value: '\xE2\x80\x8' for column 'id' at row 1

when using utf8mb4 character set on the 'id' column @ length 190 characters / 760 bytes to fully support unicode characters; the field length becomes insufficient

It may be better to use a hash of the url as the primary key instead of the url itself. This would allow urls of any length and full utf8 support.

------------------------------------------

I was going to post a work around, but haven't decided where. I actually modified gora-sql-0.1.1-incubating.jar::org.apache.gora.sql.store.SqlStore.flush() to be "less sensitive" to failures. I logged all the URLS that were skipped, around 0.0003% of 150,000 so far, some what insignificant. However, I think if users are going to use less than 4b/character for their 'id' field I don't think the job should fail.

I haven't been able to spend a ton of time familiarizing myself with the nutch source, but it may be possible to add a parameter to webpage that is a hash of the key and setting it to unique in the database. Then we can remove the primary key constraint from ID and use a utf8mb4 character set with a good length.

I am operating under the assumption that the primary key's sole purpose is to reject duplicates in the database.

please advise.

James Sullivan commented on NUTCH-1481:
---------------------------------------

There is a way around the 190 character restriction up to 767 or 768 characters which should be good enough for most URLs. Use the following options for a recent version of MySQL.

innodb_file_format=barracuda
innodb_file_per_table=true
innodb_large_prefix=true
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED

For step by step instructions I've updated http://nlp.solutions.asia/?p=180.

The hash is probably a better long-term solution (given URL is stored in other fields as well) but probably involves mores work.

----------------------------------

It's not right to have unicode in URLs. It's more convenient to use url as id. Adding a url normalizer plug-in would be a better solution.
