Slow Searching
by Barry Cannon 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hi, I have noticed some slow opac/intranet searching on sites and I can't seem to pinpoint the problem. The "opac-search.pl", takes between 5500ms and 7500ms for any search term - the hit count can be 10 or 16000, the search time is comparable. Running the same search, directly via the yaz-client, returns the hit count (and record dump) almost instantly. The sites are plack enabled, running Koha 3.22.06 and memcache is also configured. The zebra-out.log shows lines similar to below (which appear to be innocuous): 15:38:02-16/05 zebrasrv(1) [warn] ir_session (exception) 15:47:14-16/05 zebrasrv(2) [warn] ir_session (exception) 15:57:15-16/05 zebrasrv(3) [warn] ir_session (exception) 16:03:22-16/05 zebrasrv(4) [warn] ir_session (exception) 16:04:15-16/05 zebrasrv(5) [warn] ir_session (exception) The only other log of interest is the opac-error.log but this just displays some equally innocuous errors. On one system there are just under 100k biblios. It is a relatively small system but just to be certain I spun up a test box and assigned it 16GB RAM and 8 CPUs, SSDs for storage. I left the sysprefs as vanilla. I noticed no difference in the response time(s). The majority of sites are running Jessie. I have netdata running on the boxes and there is never any load on any resource - no slow MySQL queries either. I also tested some of the demo Koha sites, from the community site, and while they're are not as slow, they certainly appear to be slow(ish). Would anyone have any ideas on what I might have overlooked? Could this just be a perception issue (although most of the clients have raised issues).

Looked at the Wiki <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:Koha_Versions> which seems to stop at 3.16 -- which can't be right (or where do versions .18 - .24 fit in?)

Adding a dependency to Koha
by David Cook 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hi Galen (and everyone else), How does one go about adding a dependency to Koha? With https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10662, I'm re-introducing a dependency on POE. Does that mean we should revert "Bug 11756: remove dependency on POE" (b67dac81cceaab356486001292cff40977682fff)? Or just simply add the dependency back into C4/Installer/PerlDependencies.pm? In that previous commit, I notice that all the "INSTALL.*" files and "install_misc/*packages" files were updated, but how much of that is necessary? Should we even retain the "INSTALL.*" files anymore? David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Office: 02 9212 0899 Direct: 02 8005 0595

kohadevbox: ansible => master move
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hi everyone, I filled an issue in the kohadevbox repo 12 days ago, requesting for feedback on merging the 'ansible' branch into 'master'. I got little feedback ,but we agreed (with Magnus) that in the scenario of no objections, we would merge it [1] It is now merged, and the original branch is kept in hte 'legacy' branch for those still using it. Sorry for any inconveniences this changes might cause. Remember kohadevbox accepts bug reports [2] and (of course!) pull requests or plain patches. I've been told there are issues running it in Jessie which I couldn't reproduce, please fill bugs if problems persist.

Time to think Plack?
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hi everyone, I just wanted to raise some questions, that might be worth thinking about at the KohaCon16 hackfest, or just here. Koha has been a CGI app for ages. And we slowly made it work under Plack to gain performance. We did so, by running it inside a CGI emulation context (i.e. CGI::Emulate::PSGI [1]). We even wired all stuff so packages can take advantage of Plack out of the box (just not enabled by default, that'd be a next future step). We then introduced a Mojolicious implementation of (a beggining of) a REST API. Is it time to start thinking of Koha as a Plack app and focus on that? [1] Through Plack::App::CGIBin actually. -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (http://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F
