Koha::SearchEngine::Elasticsearch - Base module for things using elasticsearch
The name of the index to use, generally 'biblios' or 'authorities'.
my $elasticsearch_client = $self->get_elasticsearch();
Returns a Search::Elasticsearch client. The client is cached on a Koha::SearchEngine::ElasticSearch instance level and will be reused if method is called multiple times.
my $params = $self->get_elasticsearch_params();
This provides a hashref that contains the parameters for connecting to the ElasicSearch servers, in the form:
{
'nodes' => ['127.0.0.1:9200', 'anotherserver:9200'],
'index_name' => 'koha_instance_index',
}
This is configured by the following in the config block in koha-conf.xml:
<elasticsearch>
<server>127.0.0.1:9200</server>
<server>anotherserver:9200</server>
<index_name>koha_instance</index_name>
</elasticsearch>
my $settings = $self->get_elasticsearch_settings();
This provides the settings provided to Elasticsearch when an index is created. These can do things like define tokenization methods.
A hashref containing the settings is returned.
my $mappings = $self->get_elasticsearch_mappings();
This provides the mappings that get passed to Elasticsearch when an index is created.
Get the Elasticsearch field config for the given purpose and data type.
$mapping = _get_elasticsearch_field_config('search', 'text');
$self->_process_mappings($mappings, $marc_field_data, $record_document, 0)
Process all $mappings targets operating on a specific MARC field $data. Since we group all mappings by MARC field targets $mappings will contain all targets for $data and thus we need to fetch the MARC field only once. $mappings will be applied to $record_document and new field values added. The method has no return value.
$mappingsArrayref of mappings containing arrayrefs in the format [$target, $options] where $target is the name of the target field and $options is a hashref containing processing directives for this particular mapping.
$dataThe source data from a MARC record field.
$record_documentHashref representing the Elasticsearch document on which mappings should be applied.
$altscriptA boolean value indicating whether an alternate script presentation is being processed.
my $record_documents = $self->marc_records_to_documents($marc_records);
Using mappings stored in database convert $marc_records to Elasticsearch documents.
Returns array of hash references, representing Elasticsearch documents, acceptable as body payload in Search::Elasticsearch requests.
$marc_documentsReference to array of MARC::Record objects to be converted to Elasticsearch documents.
my @mappings = _field_mappings($facet, $suggestible, $sort, $target_name, $target_type, $range)
Get mappings, an internal data structure later used by "_process_mappings($mappings, $data, $record_document, $altscript)" to process MARC target data for a MARC mapping.
The returned $mappings is not to to be confused with mappings provided by _foreach_mapping, rather this sub accepts properties from a mapping as provided by _foreach_mapping and expands it to this internal data structure. In the caller context (_get_marc_mapping_rules) the returned @mappings is then applied to each MARC target (leader, control field data, subfield or joined subfields) and integrated into the mapping rules data structure used in marc_records_to_documents to transform MARC records into Elasticsearch documents.
$facetBoolean indicating whether to create a facet field for this mapping.
$suggestibleBoolean indicating whether to create a suggestion field for this mapping.
$sortBoolean indicating whether to create a sort field for this mapping.
$target_nameElasticsearch document target field name.
$target_typeElasticsearch document target field type.
$rangeAn optional range as a string in the format "<START>-<END>" or "<START>", where "<START>" and "<END>" are integers specifying a range that will be used for extracting a substring from MARC data as Elasticsearch field target value.
The first character position is "0", and the range is inclusive, so "0-2" means the first three characters of MARC data.
If only "<START>" is provided only one character at position "<START>" will be extracted.
my $mapping_rules = $self->_get_marc_mapping_rules()
Generates rules from mappings stored in database for MARC records to Elasticsearch JSON document conversion.
Since field retrieval is slow in MARC::Records (all fields are itereted through for each call to MARC::Record->field) we create an optimized structure of mapping rules keyed by MARC field tags holding all the mapping rules for that particular tag.
We can then iterate through all MARC fields for each record and apply all relevant rules once per fields instead of retreiving fields multiple times for each mapping rule which is terribly slow.
$self->_foreach_mapping(
sub {
my ( $name, $type, $facet, $suggestible, $sort, $marc_type,
$marc_field )
= @_;
return unless $marc_type eq 'marc21';
print "Data comes from: " . $marc_field . "\n";
}
);
This allows you to apply a function to each entry in the elasticsearch mappings table, in order to build the mappings for whatever is needed.
In the provided function, the files are:
$nameThe field name for elasticsearch (corresponds to the 'mapping' column in the database.
$typeThe type for this value, e.g. 'string'.
$facetTrue if this value should be facetised. This only really makes sense if the field is understood by the facet processing code anyway.
$sortTrue if this is a field that a) needs special sort handling, and b) if it should be sorted on. False if a) but not b). Undef if not a). This allows, for example, author to be sorted on but not everything marked with "author" to be included in that sort.
$marc_typeA string that indicates the MARC type that this mapping is for, e.g. 'marc21', 'unimarc', 'normarc'.
$marc_fieldA string that describes the MARC field that contains the data to extract. These are of a form suited to Catmandu's MARC fixers.
die process_error($@);
This parses an Elasticsearch error message and produces a human-readable result from it. This result is probably missing all the useful information that you might want in diagnosing an issue, so the warning is also logged.
Note that currently the resulting message is not internationalised. This will happen eventually by some method or other.
my $conf = _read_configuration();
Reads the configuration file and returns a hash structure with the configuration information. It raises an exception if mandatory entries are missing.
The hashref structure has the following form:
{
'nodes' => ['127.0.0.1:9200', 'anotherserver:9200'],
'index_name' => 'koha_instance',
}
This is configured by the following in the config block in koha-conf.xml:
<elasticsearch>
<server>127.0.0.1:9200</server>
<server>anotherserver:9200</server>
<index_name>koha_instance</index_name>
</elasticsearch>
my @facetable_fields = Koha::SearchEngine::Elasticsearch->get_facetable_fields();
Returns the list of Koha::SearchFields marked to be faceted in the ES configuration
