-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
I just wanted to give a brief update on the current status of the Click Package Index, and raise a couple of questions I still have after working through the Solr schema. So the good news is that we have a schema based on the metadata we get from myapps that, given our current understanding, seems to mostly work. I'll be properly documenting the schema *somewhere* (/me waves hands around) but in the meantime this is how things are looking: id: string (searchable, retrievable, required) title: text_general (searchable, retrievable) description: text_general (searchable, retrievable) price: float (searchable, retrievable) # may become currency type package_name: text_general (searchable, retrievable) binary_filesize: long (retrievable) icon_url: url (retrievable) # 64x64 icon icon_urls: url (retrievable, multi-value) # list of all icons screenshot_url: url (retrievable) screenshot_urls: url (retrievable, multi-value) terms_of_service: text_general (retrievable) support_url: url (retrievable) license: text_general (searchable, retrievable) # license name date_published: date (searchable, retrievable) video_urls: url (retrievable, multi-value) license_key_path: string (retrievable) requires_license_key: boolean (searchable, retrievable) version: string (searchable, retrievable, required) # e.g. 1.2.3 website: url (retrievable) company_name: text_general (searchable, retrievable) keywords: text_general (searchable, retrievable, multi-value) click_version: string (searchable, retrievable) # '0.1' click_framework: string (searchable, retrievable) # 'ubuntu-sdk-13.10' click_updown_url: url (retrievable) countries_to_distribute: string (searchable, multi-value) Field types are based on the example schema in Solr 3.6.2, with the exception of the url type, which is a simple solr.TextField. There are a couple of fields still to be worked out, notably categories, department and hardware requirements. These will come once we've figured out the semantics. Note that since packages will be published to the index when they are approved, and removed from the index when they are deleted or unapproved, there will be no status field - if it's in the index, it's available for download. Also note that Click Packages require a version number [0], so we will also *require* a version field, and will target Click Frameworks [1], so there will be no series field. I've been inserting and querying dummy documents with this in a local Solr instance and for the limited subset of use cases I already know about it seems fine. Work is now under way on the proxy part of the index - the user-visible part that clients will be using - and no doubt the schema will be refined as we go through this process. I think that's all for now, JT [0] https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-appstore-developers/msg00016.html [1] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-May/037096.html - -- James Tait, BSc. | https://launchpad.net/~jamestait/ Software Engineer, Canonical Online Services, Web and Ops Team Ubuntu - Linux for human beings | www.ubuntu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlGuiOwACgkQyDo4xMNTLiYZ2gCfZnXhMFqifhqJBtAVoFs9SaEy 37wAoMUev+dFtuv76ZX3yAgQ0dg2q08j =cugG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers Post to : ubuntu-appstore-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
