Deleting / Reversing events in the event server

[Mattz <ea...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have a use case where I am sending a "blocked" event for a user for a
particular item. When this happens, PIO eliminates this item from the
result set. But, the user can choose to "unblock" this item at a later
time. I am wondering how to handle this. Should I somehow delete the event
from the even server? If yes, how? Is there any other way to solve this?

Thanks!

Re: Deleting / Reversing events in the event server

[Pat Ferrel <pa...@occamsmachete.com>]

Blacklisting items in the query happens at query time, events sent to the EventServer will take effect only after the next training time. So item blacklists seems to be the right approach for your issue.

Re: Deleting / Reversing events in the event server

[Vaghawan Ojha <va...@gmail.com>]

Yes Mattz, that's why I pointed that, it's more easy and effective I think.
You could just save the blocked items somewhere that may be even in your
relational database in which your original application resides, and update
them accordingly, and using them while querying. Or else you can save them
in eventserver as a user properties and retrive them while querying. Both
way it should be of help.

Re: Deleting / Reversing events in the event server

[Mattz <ea...@gmail.com>]

Thanks Vaghawan. I think using the "blacklistItems" might be better for my
use case rather than passing in the "block" events. I didn't think of this.

Re: Deleting / Reversing events in the event server

[Vaghawan Ojha <va...@gmail.com>]

So you're not sending the blocklisted items in query like this right?

"blacklistItems": ["itemId1", "itemId2", ...]

So, you have those blocked events, then you must be able to update them
accordingly just the way you set them as blocked. Or else I'm still not
clear (I'm sorry in that case).

Thanks

Re: Deleting / Reversing events in the event server

[Mattz <ea...@gmail.com>]

This is how I am using now. I send a blocked event if a user blocks an
item. So, when recommending items for the user, this item does not show up.
I am using the "universal recommender" template.

Oh Yes Mattz, I seems to have misunderstood your situation. I thought that
you were having that blocked prop as a properties or something. My thought
must have been totally wrong.

I'm not clear if you're sending the blocked items in query or something
else? Also which template you have been using?

Thanks

Re: Deleting / Reversing events in the event server

Thanks Vaghawan. "$set" and "$unset" are used to set/unset item properties
right? Since these are not like the other events, these items would still
be returned unless I manually find all the things blocked and filter from
list to get my result set. But, if I send "blocked" as a regular event, PIO
automatically filters out items that were blocked by the user.

Hi Mattz,

You could just use $set, $unset to achieve this. When user wish to unblock
the item, just send in another request in the event server to update the
event. This would solve your problem from as much as I know from using pio
eventserver.

you could find the examples here.
