Hi
This is the summary of my work with SOLR-Dovecot, in my *quest to reproduce the previoulsy excellent work of fts_squat*
@Aki : Based on the time I have spent on this, I would love to see you updating the Wiki with those improvements, and adding my name somewhere
@All : Hope it helps
*- Installation:*
-> Create a clean install using the default, (at least in the Archlinux package), and do a "sudo -u solr solr create -c dovecot ". The config files are then in /opt/solr/server/solr/dovecot/conf and datafiles in /opt/solr/server/solr/dovecot/data
On my system (Debian) these directories are wildly different (e.g. data is under /var), but other than that, this information is OK.
Used this as a side-reference for Debian installation: https://tecadmin.net/install-apache-solr-on-debian/
Accessed http://solr-host.tld:8983/solr/ to check whether all is OK.
-> In /opt/solr/server/solr/dovecot/conf/solrconfig.xml:
* around line 313, change <openSearcher>false</openSearcher> to <openSearcher>true</openSearcher>
* around line 147, set <writeLockTimeout>2000</writeLockTimeout> (or above)
* around line 696 : uncomment <str name="df">hdr</str>
* around line 1127, before <updateProcessor class="solr.UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory" name="uuid"/>, add <schemaFactory class="ClassicIndexSchemaFactory"></schemaFactory>
* around line 1161, delete the whole <updateProcessor class="solr.AddSchemaFieldsUpdateProcessorFactory" name="add-schema-fields">
* around line 1192, remove the whole
Applied these changes. We should probably provide an example config file on the Wiki that incorporates all this.. or maybe a diff.
We also need to evaluate what the merit of all of this is. I did something similar in my previous effort, but it was all based on getting an error from Solr and then removing that section of the config file with the assumption it wasn't needed. So far, I have little clue what these things are and why these things are enabled by default. As I said in an earlier mail, there is an option to leave some of this cruft out at backend initialization, but I haven't tried that yet.
-> Remove /opt/solr/server/solr/dovecot/conf/managed-schema
-> Change "schema.xml" by the one below to reproduce fts_squat behavior (equivalent to " fts_squat = partial=3 full=25" in dovecot.conf) (note : such a huge trouble to replace a single line setup, anyway...)
Did that too.
-> Move /opt/solr/server/solr (or the subfolder data) to a partition with *space*, ideally ext4 or faster file system (it looks like Solr is not considering using a simple mysql database, which would make sense to avoid all the fuzz and let it transit to a non-java state, but that is another story)
Skipped that.
-> Config of dovecot.conf is as below
I also enabled debug for fts_solr.
-> The systemd unit shall specify high ulimit for files and proc (see below)
Debian does something weird here. It doesn't use an explicit systemd unit. It is generated from the SysV init file. I ended up setting the ulimits in /etc/security/limits.conf for user solr.
-> Increase the memory available for the JavaVM (I put 12Gb as I have quite a space on my server, but you may adapt it as per your specs) : in /opt/solr/bin/solr.in.sh, set SOLR_HEAP="12288m"
Skipped that.
-> As Solr is complaining a lot, you may consider a filter for it in your syslog-ng or journald as it pollutes greatly your audit files
What does it complain about and when does it happen? I haven't seen much logging from Solr so far.
-> (re)Start solr (first) and dovecot by systemctl
-> Launch redindex ( doveadm fts rescan -u <username> )
-> wait for a big while to let the system re-index all your mail boxes
Weirdly, rescan returns immediately here. When I perform doveadm index INBOX for my test user, I do see a lot of fts and HTTP activity.
*- Bugs so far*
-> Line 620 of fts_solr dovecot plugin : the size oof header is improperly calculated ("huge header" warning for a simple email, which kilss the index of that considered email, so basically MOST emails as the calculation is wrong)
-> The UID returned by SOlr is to be considered as a STRING (and that is maybe the source of problem of the "out of bound" errors in fts_solr dovecot, as "long" is not enough)
-> Java errors : A lot of non sense for me, I am not expert in Java. But, with increased memory, it seems not crashing, even if complaining quite a lot in the logs
Can you elaborate on the errors you have seen so far? When do these happen? How can I reproduce them?
Regards,
Stephan.
