= Harvestdor::Indexer
A Gem to harvest meta/data from DOR and the skeleton code to index it and write to Solr.
== Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'harvestdor-indexer'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install harvestdor-indexer
== Usage
You must override the index method and provide configuration options. It is recommended to write a script to run it, too - example below.
=== Configuration / Set up
Create a yml config file for your collection going to a Solr index.
See spec/config/ap.yml for an example.
You will want to copy that file and change the following settings:
1. log_name
2. default_set (in OAI harvesting params section)
2a. other OAI harvesting params
3. blacklist or whitelist if you are using them
You can also pass in non-default configurations as a hash
indexer = Harvestdor::Indexer.new({:oai_repository_url => 'http://my_oai.org, :default_from_date => '2012-12-01'})
=== Override the Harvestdor::Indexer.index method
In your code, override this method from the Harvestdor::Indexer class
# create Solr doc for the druid and add it to Solr, unless it is on the blacklist.
# NOTE: don't forget to send commit to Solr, either once at end (already in harvest_and_index), or for each add, or ...
def index druid
if blacklist.include?(druid)
logger.info("Druid #{druid} is on the blacklist and will have no Solr doc created")
else
logger.error("You must override the index method to transform druids into Solr docs and add them to Solr")
doc_hash = {}
doc_hash[:id] = druid
# doc_hash[:title_tsim] = smods_rec(druid).short_title
# you might add things from Indexer level class here
# (e.g. things that are the same across all documents in the harvest)
solr_client.add(doc_hash)
# logger.info("Just created Solr doc for #{druid}")
# TODO: provide call to code to update DOR object's workflow datastream??
end
end
=== Run it
(bundle install)
I suggest you write a script to run the code. Your script might look like this:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..'))
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', 'lib'))
require 'rubygems'
begin
require 'your_indexer'
rescue LoadError
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'your_indexer'
end
config_yml_path = ARGV.pop
if config_yml_path.nil?
puts "** You must provide the full path to a config yml file **"
exit
end
indexer = Harvestdor::Indexer.new(config_yml_path, opts)
indexer.harvest_and_index
Then you run the script like so:
./bin/indexer config/(your coll).yml
I suggest you run your code on harvestdor-dev, as it is already set up to be able to harvest from the DOR OAI provider
