CKAN: Ticket Query

#847: CKAN search using SOLR backend

rgrp — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 12:41:13 GMT

This is a meta-ticket to pull together all the work on SOLR as a backend for CKAN search. (Work on SOLR search has been going on since March of 2010).

3 key aspects of this:

Index package information in SOLR - ticket:353 - SOLR search indexing (index CKAN)
- Synchronously (generify Search Index update method to support SOLR or postgres?) - #317: Make search pluggable
- Asynchroously: via worker with queue
  - #324 Search indexing using notifications
  - #669: Refactor Solr (indexer) to become a generic worker
  - #874: Extract Solr search backend into an extension
In core support using SOLR backend as well as postgres for queries
- #317: Make search pluggable (?)
Integrate into WUI (if changes needed)
- #672 - Facets in CKAN search results

Extras:

Solr index testing tool #431

#876: Support sqlite as a database backend for CKAN

Among other things this will allow the tests to run much quicker.

#889: Support extra footer material in config option (e.g. for google analytics)

rgrp — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 12:46:29 GMT

Add a config option 'template_footer_end' which is inserted in layout_template just before </body>.

This allows sysadmins to add extra items, especially, scripts directly into site without having to do any theming and is especially useful for things like google analytics.

Aside: going forward may want to turn this into a extension.

Cost: 1h

#874: Extract solr search backend into an extension

Move the solr SearchBackend? to a seperate code base, remove any mentions of the CKAN model.

#880: ONS loader tripping up on deleted packages

dread — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 13:49:39 GMT

Deleted packages with the same title and extra fields as an active package trip up the loader. It finds them in the search, but due to ckanclient not using the apikey when you 'get' the package to examine it further, it causes an exception.
