[VOTE] Release Apache Nutch 1.21 RC#2

Hi everybody,


A candidate for the Nutch 1.21 release is available at:

    https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/nutch/1.21/

The release candidate is a zip and tar.gz archive of the binary and sources,
built from:
    https://github.com/apache/nutch/tree/release-1.21

In addition, a staged maven repository is available here:
    https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachenutch-1023

We addressed 48 issues:
    https://s.apache.org/bs58y


Please vote on releasing this package as Apache Nutch 1.21.
The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if a majority
of at least three +1 Nutch PMC votes are cast.

[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache Nutch 1.21.
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because...


Cheers,
Sebastian
(On behalf of the Nutch PMC)



P.S.

Here is my +1.

- Tested most of Nutch tools and run a test crawl on a single-node cluster
   running Hadoop 3.3.6 and 3.4.1, see
   https://github.com/sebastian-nagel/nutch-test-single-node-cluster/

- Building from source package succeeds

- Crawling in local mode using binary package succeeded

- Built and run a Nutch Docker container (using the release branch)

- While testing the release candidate two issues related to logging were
   discovered:
   NUTCH-3118 is integrated into the 2nd release candidate eligible for
              this vote. The first release candidate was dropped because
              of this issue.
   NUTCH-3119 is scheduled for Nutch 1.22 (it's a minor issue)

HI,
Great work on the release, I apologize I couldn\t do any testing, I just
had an unexpected death in the family and im a bit stressed getting things
squared away.

See you guys on the flip side

I downloaded src.zip and bin.tar.gz.
asc and sha512 signatures checkout fine.
Source package builds fine.
5 round test crawl on Hadoop 3.4.1 using your single node setup works on Ubuntu server 24.04 LTS.

Hi Peter,

the upgrade to Solr is now tracked in
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-3121

It will be addressed in Nutch 1.22 - maybe the Solr upgrade
is a good motivation to release 1.22 earlier.

Thanks for testing the release package!

Best,
Sebastian

I did get to do some crawling today, a few thousand docs (HTML, PDF, 
some MS office formats). That run uses static, urlmeta, regexp, 
arbitrary, & metatag plugins. It indexes to Solr 9.8.1. It looks boffo!


+1 on RC2

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Nutch 1.21 RC#2

Posted by Joe Gilvary <Jo...@apache.org>.
Hi, all,

Thanks, Sebastian, for getting this out to testing. :) I only got a 
chance to download and run a couple "indexcheck" commands with my 
existing 1.20 configuration today. They went with no problems, using the 
nutch-site.xml and index-writers.xml that I've been using with 1.20.

Tomorrow I should have the chance to run some full fetch to index 
cycles. That'll be with Solr 9.8.1. Looking forward to it. :)

  Thanks, stay safe, stay healthy,

  Joe

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Nutch 1.21 RC#2

Hi Peter,

thanks for testing the release candidate!

Thanks!

Yes, for sure!

Ok. These need to be checked...


Peter, feel free to open a Jira issue for upgrading to Solr 9.x on
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NUTCH/summary
You can create an account here:
   https://selfserve.apache.org/jira-account.html

Or let us know, otherwise...

We will add the upgrade in Nutch 1.22 - Solr 8.11.4 is still available,
so there's no reason to halt the release process. Ok?

I've seen this as well while testing and opened NUTCH-3119.
I did not consider this as a blocking issue.


Thanks and best,
Sebastian

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Nutch 1.21 RC#2

Posted by Peter Viskup <pe...@gmail.com>.
Just tested 1.21 binary release with latest Solr 9.8.1 (stable).
Page was indexed with no issues.
Would it be possible to upgrade solrj in indexer-solr plugin?
Solr release 8.11 is marked as EoL on Solr Downloads - Apache Solr
<https://solr.apache.org/downloads.html>

Solr require solrj of version 8.10 and higher Major Changes in Solr 9 ::
Apache Solr Reference Guide
<https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/upgrade-notes/major-changes-in-solr-9.html>
In Solr9 the default binding IP was changed from '*' to localhost.
Solr 9.7 came with Schema update to 1.7 version Major Changes in Solr 9 ::
Apache Solr Reference Guide
<https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/upgrade-notes/major-changes-in-solr-9.html#schemaversion-upgraded-to-1-7>
But am not sure how it does affect indexer-solr plugin schema.xml.

One warning seen of the Log4j configuration

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Nutch 1.21 RC#2

Posted by Sebastian Nagel <sn...@apache.org>.
Hi Peter,

A note ahead: moving this discussion back to user@nutch to keep the Nutch 
community in the loop.


 > can make it a try

This would be simply great! It's always helpful to have more people
test the release packages. Three votes from PMC members are required.
However, any serious issues discovered by anybody else will cause us
to withdraw a buggy release candidate. See also [1] for the Apache
voting process.

 > Can I help in some other way?

Of course! Any contribution is welcome, no matter whether it's about
code, documentation (our wiki [2]), testing and bug reports, pull request
reviews, etc.

 > Would 1.21 release support newer Solr 8+?

- NUTCH-3116 upgrades indexer-solr to Solr 8.11.4
- I've tested the release candidate to index into Solr 8.11.2
   which was already installed on my system
- I did not test indexing into Solr 9.x


Best,
Sebastian
