Re: pylucene on Ubuntu 18.04

[Jeff Breidenbach]

> JCC monkeypatches as needed.

I don't think monkey patching worked on Ubuntu 18.04, for any version of
JCC that I tried. When running make, I ran into errors discussing how JCC
was not built with shared support.

> Does Lucene 4 even build and run with Java 11 ?

No idea. I halted my efforts once I got PyLucene 4.10.1 working with
openjdk-8-jdk.

Re: pylucene on Ubuntu 18.04

[Jeff Breidenbach]

I'd previously been using 4.9.0. Making a huge jump in release numbers is
scary. Will it invalidate existing indexes? Has the Lucene API changed a
lot?
Will I be forced to migrate to python 3? That said, I was desperate and
tried
all the official releases (4.10.1, 6.2.0, 6.4.1, 6.5.0). It just so
happened that
4.10.1 was the first thing I got to work.

Here are things I ran into. Just mentioning them, not asking for changes.

The distribution packages for python-lucene is totally busted.
I made the original package, someone else updated it in 2013,
but it was all built against openjdk-7-jdk which is long gone.

I think python-setuptools that ship with Ubuntu 18.04 do not include
shared support. The jcc/patches no longer apply.  I ended up hacking
the heck out of it (including copying files from older versions of Ubuntu)
to add shared support.

I think had some trouble with conflicting JVMs and really only got things
working after removing all but one from the system.

I got confused by python setup.py build; I kept modifying setup.py and
trying to rebuild, but didn't notice it didn't actually rebuild. Ended up
doing
a lot of rm -rf once I realized this.

There are a lot of if statements in jcc/setup.py that try to reason about
shared support. I often got confused what it thought. Ended up removing
all the ifs and locking everything to shared.

Due to sleepiness, for a while I mistakenly thought this line was a
typo in the Makefile and was supposed to be two separate lines.
ANT=JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle /usr/bin/ant

It looks like libjava.so and libjvm.so in openjdk-11-jdk are in different
directories compared to openjdk-8-jdk.

Re: pylucene on Ubuntu 18.04

[Jeff Breidenbach]

Hi Andi,

I am happy to report that I just got 4.10.1 working, using some
extreme measures. Whew. Will give a clearer report after getting
some sleep.

Jeff

Re: pylucene on Ubuntu 18.04

[Jeff Breidenbach]

And for what it is worth, python-setuptools claims to be version 39.0.1.
I've
probably spent about 10 to 12 hours trying to get something to work. It is
not clear to me if it needs patching to not.

Re: pylucene on Ubuntu 18.04

[Jeff Breidenbach]

To be a little more specific, here's what happens with version 4.9.0
which I've had good luck with in the past. The system contains the
following shared libraries.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so

It looks like LFLAGS in jcc/setup.py should find them. I'm on the
linux2/X86_64 platform, using '/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64'
for the JDK. JCC builds and installs without complaint, but fails at
runtime.

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 163, in _run_module_as_main
mod_name, _Error)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 111, in _get_module_details

pylucene on Ubuntu 18.04

[Jeff Breidenbach]

I'm having all sorts of trouble getting PyLucene to run on Ubuntu 18.04,
which has openjdk-8, openjdk-11, python 2.7.15. Has anyone had success,
and if so, with which version of pylucene?

Thanks,
Jeff

add multithread indexing sample?

[Jeff Breidenbach]

Does it make sense to add a multithreaded indexing example to the
samples directory? Mike McCandles has such fun graphs, and it would be
fun to chase them in python.

Re: 1.9 RC1

[Jeff Breidenbach]

This week is pretty booked for me, so, barring major objections, I will 
make a 1.9 RC1 release next Monday, February 20th.  If there are no 
problems discovered, I'll aim to make a 1.9 final release a week later, 
around the 27th.


Has anyone tested if 1.9 can build with a Free Software toolchain? (e.g. 
kaffe)
