VuFind Developers Call Minutes: September 18, 2012

Agenda

1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-316 - There has been a lot of discussion on this sharding ticket recently; most of the details have been captured into sub-tickets (see below).
  • VUFIND-534 - Ronan has posted a Disqus patch here (for integrating a third-party discussion service with VuFind).
  • VUFIND-600 - Some example code and comments related to replacing Aperture with Tika for full-text harvesting have been posted here.
  • VUFIND-643 - This ticket discusses VF2-specific details related to porting the multi-backend driver (VUFIND-594).
  • VUFIND-644 - This ticket offers an adjustment to the full text indexing routine to make it more tolerant of unusual data in files. Demian will test this and port it to the Java version of SolrMarc when time permits (but probably not for a little while at least).
  • VUFIND-645 - This ticket tracks a bug in the current 2.0beta code – although there are smarts in place to compensate for the situation where a record saved to favorites is no longer available in the index, such records cannot currently be deleted.
  • VUFIND-646 - This ticket discusses some issues with running VuFind under SSL; it has been closed since no specific unresolved bugs are mentioned.
  • VUFIND-647 / VUFIND-648 - These tickets address bugs specifically related to field stripping used for searching shards with incompatible schemas.
  • VUFIND-649 - This ticket points out some unused legacy methods in the Solr code. Demian has removed them.
  • VUFIND-650 - This ticket tracks a bug related to exception handling in 2.0's console applications (error messages are not displayed when unhandled exceptions are thrown).
  • VUFIND-651 / VUFIND-652 / VUFIND-653 - These tickets track Solr features that do not currently support sharding.
  • VUFIND-654 - This ticket addresses performing a “health check” to avoid pulling results from broken shards in a sharded Solr environment.
  • VUFIND-655 - This ticket requests next/previous record navigation for the Summon module to match the current Solr functionality. This is likely to be much easier to implement in 2.0 than in 1.x.

2. VuFind 2.0 Update

Demian has continued creating plugin managers and replacing explicit constructor calls with service manager requests in an effort to make the code more flexible, testable and extensible.

The install script now offers the option of creating a custom module for storing local code that overrides core functionality.

The Developer Manual is slowly becoming more complete.
