[DISCUSS] ATLAS-5399 Apache Nutch metadata model and CrawlDb/HostDB import bridge
Hi dev@,
I opened ATLAS-5399 to catalog Apache Nutch crawls in Atlas without
creating one entity per URL.
JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-5399
PR: https://github.com/apache/atlas/pull/748
What this adds
--------------
- Nutch types in addons/models/7000-Nutch (crawl, seedlist, segment,
domain, host, nutch_index_process). Fetch metrics live on
nutch_crawl_hosts. Hosts are global per cluster: {hostname}@
{clusterName}.
- A batch import bridge (addons/nutch-bridge). Hosts come from Nutch
HostDB when present, otherwise CrawlDb rollup. Seeds and segments are
imported from the crawl directories.
- Distro nutch-hook package and hook-bin/import-nutch.sh
- Docs: docs/src/documents/Hook/HookNutch.md
Indexing lineage is a split with Nutch. This PR defines nutch_index_process
and the generic index DataSet shape; NUTCH-3210 (Nutch indexer-atlas) will
emit one process per IndexingJob. The two sides share atlas.cluster.name
and crawlId.
Why this shape
--------------
A large crawl would explode Atlas if every URL were an entity. Cataloging
crawls, segments, domains, and hosts keeps the graph bounded and still
gives lineage from crawl/segment to index process to search collection.
How to try it
-------------
Build Atlas, start the docker stack (postgres backend is enough), then:
hook-bin/import-nutch.sh -c <crawlId> -d <crawldb> \
[-H <hostdb>] [-s <seedDir>] [-g <segmentsDir>]
I ran this against a live docker Atlas with seed https://nutch.apache.org/
and confirmed crawl/seed/segment/domain/host entities plus lineage once the
Nutch IndexWriter ran. Screenshot is on the PR.
Reviews and comments on the JIRA or PR are welcome. A companion Nutch
change is NUTCH-3210. I will submit that PR soon after some refinements.
Thanks,
