Hello the list, This time it seems zebra work for both indexing and search. The last blocking problem was... a space in recordId: (bib1,Identifier-standard) just after the comma. Adam agreed it was a bug, and it should be solved soon. But now we are aware, we can avoid putting the space ! I've commited all what is needed to setup a working zebra DB in Unimarc (in misc/migration_tools and /zebra directories) : * collection.abs is UNIMARC specific and must be rewritten for MARC21, in marc21 directory * pdf.properties is to be copied unmodified in the marc21 directory (can also be put somewhere else) * rebuild_zebra.pl is SLOW, but 1 step reindexing tool, using ZOOM * rebuild_zebra_idx is FAST, but 2 step reindexing tool, and does not use zebra. run it, it will create all biblios XML files in /zebra/biblios directory, then zebraidx update biblios in your zebra directory * zebra.cfg is the zebra config file ;-) * test_cql2rpn.pl is a script that will query the database and show the results. Works for me, just change the query at the beginning to get answers you expect. What has to be done : * benchmarking : it seems the zebraidx update is faster than lightning (400biblios/sec : 10 000biblios in 25seconds), while ZOOM indexing is slow (something like 25biblios/second) More benchmarking could be done. * completing collection.abs for UNIMARC. I'll take care of it. * modifying Biblio.pm to use ZOOM instead of the "zebraidx through exec" running actually. I'll take care of it also. * modify the search API & tools & screens. I'll let the ball to someone else (chris ?) for this. I agree SearchMarc.pm can be dropped and replaced by something else (maybe a new-and-clean Search.pm package) -- Paul POULAIN et Henri Damien LAURENT Consultants indépendants en logiciels libres et bibliothéconomie (http://www.koha-fr.org)
