hmmm.

thats a totally new one.

I think I've seen ones like that before

although there are normally too many errors for me to keep track, I just refresh immediately

when?

in general

in the last 48 horus?

uhh, not sure

I have been getting errors in the inline search, but those don't show the actual error, just that the search failed

is inline search now using indexed search?

chirlu`: what search were you doing?

index? direct? inline?

the default is the indexed search, yes, and has been for years

.247 is the load balancer (nginx)

and the search servers won’t be accessed for a while after they are load balanced.

so, to me this sounds more like a front-end/ loadbal issue than search

Indexed search with advanced query syntax.

intersting.

I've also gotten that a few times, but dunno if just recently

ok, here comes the next index rotate.

see how it goes this time.

(still copying)

I think you hit it right during a reload.

does anyone know why this could be happening?

mix

michaeljames: Different queries, different results – doesn’t seem strange to me.

Also note that you probably want to make “jack johnson” a phrase.

What i'm trying to work out is what the website is requesting to the search server exactly

what does the request look like when its proxied to the search-server?

that way I can construct the requests for the search server directly

ahh are you saying that AND and + are different?

I didn't know that

Yes, + is just a space.

oh really? I had no idea

(In URLs.)

I thought %20 was the only way to resemble a space

Essentially, the server does not rewrite the queries in any way.

I was just having a look at the code it looks like it does some processing: https://bitbucket.org/metabrainz/musicbrainz-se...

Thanks anyway. I now know + is a space.

No, all that code is for lookup and browse requests.

If you want a real plus sign (which is not the same as AND), you need to percent-encode it.

michaeljames: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Indexed_Search_Syntax

cool thanks I'll be using a library to make requests to this. I'll be doing encodeURIComponent in JS

And “artist:jack johnson” will search for “jack” in the artist field, and for “johnson” in the default field (title).

thanks

so I need artist:"jack johnson"

?

Yep.

Or artist:(jack johnson)

Or artist:(jack johnson), I guess.

Heh.

cool, is there a preference over them?

Depends on how sure you are that "jack johnson" is how he is written.

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

artist:(jack johnson) search for "jack" and/or "johnson" on the artist field.

"jack johnson" searches for the phrase.

artist:"jack johnson" searches for "jack johnson" in it.

I see

So it will not find “Jack Joe Johnson”.

cool that makes sense

this is true for 'method=advanced' only, isn't it?

O btw the search server I have setup I'm thinking that it might be useful to some people

so I'm thinking of sharing the AWS AMI instance publicly and have issues and docs on github

CallerNo6: Yes, but web service queries always used advanced syntax.

Is this something you guys may find useful?

ruaok, we can just make MB point to michaeljames' search instance and we won't have to host the search servers ourselves anymore! \o/

perfect.

:p

just make sure it can handle 10M queries in a day or so. :)

haha wow! Umm I'm not telling you the URL lol

michaeljames: basically, not necessarily us but other people might - but you might end up finding too many people are hitting it, or with too many queries anwyay

yeah I won't make my url public

;)

Just post it in the headphones forum.

just the image for people to setup their own server

(Well, I assume they have a forum anyway.)

Oh, ok

An image would be nice.

headphones forum is that on musicbrainz.org?

That would probably be helpful, yes :)

yeah I can share when its available

michaeljames: Nope. headphones is untirely unaffiliated with MB.

Nah, headphones is some app that people keep making their own VM servers for

i had issues getting the java servlet to build so I took the jar and war files from the blog site.

And the software likes to make a *lot* of requests in a short amount of time.

I see

whats the link to that app?

this is the jar and war files i'm using: http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?s=Search+server+ja...

it was a last resort really as I couldn't get it to build

ah @chilù you mentioned the search server is completely outdated

in svn

where can I find the git repo?

chirlú

chirlu` :) (you can probably use tab to complete names that are hard-ish to write, like his)

ahh okay I'm an IRC NOOOB

I use slack now so...

SSDD, really

haha

michaeljames: https://bitbucket.org/metabrainz/search-server I think?

thanks

:)

thanks for your help all

time to get back onto Slack.

:P

gah. chirlu` still up, dear research god?

:)

on the search servers, I’ve got a script that restarts the search server.

from the “search” account it is allowed to execute with NOPASSWD via the sudo file.

works great when I have a terminal.

but when the search indexer tries to remotely restart the server, the sudo refused to allow it and prompts for a passwd.

the authorized_keys file on the target machine has the pre-qualifier in it:

no-x11-forwarding,no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,command="./bin/receive-from-server", < normal SSH key follows >

but it always asks for the password when I have no idea why it does.

:(

hmmm. playing around with it…

it goes back to normal with out the command= argument

Hm.

What is when you put the command into the ssh invocation?

I dont understand your question.

I mean, when you don’t run it via command="..." from authorized_keys, but (without that directive) from the ssh command line.

ssh host "./bin/receive-from-server"

It might also be a difference in working directories.

Unrecognised command for bin/receive-from-server

The command was:

which means that the argument to the program was dropped.

Strange.

But how does it work via authorized_keys without an argument, then?

(Or is supposed to work.)

via the command= argument.

Yes, but how does it get the “restart” argument?

which specifies the script to run, which seems to get passed via $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND the env var

ok, if I skip that and use $1 instead of the var above, it gets the right command passed. yay.

but then: “sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified”

FUCK.

I’m going in circles.

ok, no index updates for musicbrainz til I sleep and get back to it.

that sudo error

means you need to have passwordless sudo

for the user in question

search ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/search/search-indexer/bin/restart_search_server
