Last week, I described the beginnings of an Akka based Content Ingestion Pipeline. In that version, all the messages and actors were defined, but the actor's "behavior" consisted only of log.info() messages describing what it did. In this post, I describe changes to add a HTTP fetcher to fetch pages from remote (or local, more on that later) webservers, a NoSQL database (I used MongoDB) to hold the document being processed and the Solr Index into which the content will finally be written out for searching.
I call these components DAOs (Data Access Objects) because they wrap data repositories. Factoring out this functionality out of the Actors makes it possible to test them in isolation. There are two other components that don't quite fit the DAO definition, but still perform non-trivial work that benefits from being unit tested - these are the Outlinks Finder and the Parser. The first finds URL patterns inside the text, and is really only applicable for situations where you want to use the pipeline to crawl a website. The parser converts content to plain text - in case of HTML or XML its basically just removing the tags, in cases like PDF its more complicated - I use the Apache Tika parser for this.
As you can imagine, with all this unit testing, I've also grown reasonably comfortable with ScalaTest. In order to test the entire Actor flow, I built Mock versions of the DAOs above, which just updates a bunch of counters, so I can verify that the actors called them as expected. A nice side effect of this is that the components are all swappable. Currently I have a somewhat lame selection criteria based on the configuration variable "testuser" to determine whether to use the mock or the real implementation. In a production system, it should probably be replaced with faactories supplying the appropriate implementation for the content type.
So in pictures, the work that I describe in this post can be summarized as the bottom layer of the diagram (updated from last week's diagram) below.
I describe the actors and their (real) supporting components in a depth-first manner. The Fetch Worker checks to see if the URL it got has been crawled within the last 30 days (configurable via application.conf), if so its not fetched again. If not, it synchronously invokes the fetch method on its HttpFetcher. While one usually associates fetching documents over HTTP with web crawling, this can be a good model for crawling files off a local filesystem also - exposing the files via an HTTP server (such as Apache HTTPD or Lighttpd for example) frees you from having to collocate your fetchers with your filesystem.

The HttpFetcher is a simple HttpClient implementation that reads a web page and either returns the contents if the read was successful, or the exception if not. The Fetcher Worker processes the Either returned as follows. If an exception, it logs it and processes the next URL in the queue. If a result, the content is persisted into MongoDB and a FetchComplete reply is sent back to the Fetcher router. The FetchComplete contains a forward parameter that is set to false if the page was too new to be fetched - if the forward parameter is false, the controller will terminate the message flow.

The MongoDbDao is invoked from the HttpFetcher component in order to (optionally create a document record and) insert the fetched data into the document record. It is also invoked from the ParseWorker and IndexWorker components to update the document record. The MongoDbDao component depends on a database (named in the application.conf file) being available and an index on the "url" field being declared on the specified collection (also named in application.conf). This can be done with the following commands in the mongo shell.
1 2 3 4 | // create database delsymdb
use delsymdb
// create index on field "url" in collection "documents" in "delsymdb"
db.documents.ensureIndex({"url" : 1}, {unique : true })

The code for the MongoDbDao is shown below. It uses Casbah, the Scala driver for MongoDB. I chose MongoDB because its a document oriented database, and as such is a perfect fit for the application (each row represents a single document). I found MongoDB easy to learn when I took the excellent (and free) M101P course conducted by MongoDB University (formerly 10gen) last year, and the intuitive mongo shell makes it very simple to use as well.
Like the HttpFetcher, the MongoDbDao also returns an Either structure back to the Actor. It has four methods, one each to insert fields retrieved by the Fetcher, Parser and Index workers, and one to return the Document as a Map of key value pairs given the URL.

The next actor is the Parse Actor. This worker responds to a message containing a Parse(url) request, by retrieving the contents of the url from MongoDB, getting the appropriate parser (I use an array of Apache Tika parsers) for the content type, parsing out the text and metadata, then updating MongoDB with the text, the parsed metadata and the parse timestamp. Once done, it sends back a ParseComplete reply to its router.

The Parser deals with the mechanics of converting the raw content for a URL into text, and extracting additional metadata such as title and author from it. Apache Tika hides the details and provides a common facade for this functionality.

An optional (web page crawling only) step is the creation of outlinks. An HTML page contains embedded links to other HTML pages. The client signals a desire to crawl such links to the pipeline by passing in a positive depth parameter in the Fetch method (which is stored in MongoDB). When the Controller receives the ParseComplete message and a positive depth, it parses the content for links and sends an array of Fetch messages (with depth = depth - 1 and the same fetch metadata as its parent). We show the OutlinkFinder code below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 | // Source: src/main/scala/com/mycompany/delsym/daos/HtmlOutlinkFinder.scala

After the (optional) outlink finding process, the controller sends an Index(url) message to the Indexer Worker via the Index Router. The Index Worker retrieves the document from MongoDB and passes it to the SolrPublisher. Once done it sends an IndexComplete message to its router to complete the pipeline for a single URL.

The SolrPublisher expects an Apache Solr server with a schema.xml defining the fields it needs to write (configured in application.conf:delsym.solr.fieldnames). I used this opportunity to upgrade the Solr installation on my notebook to 4.6 (the latest) and it turns out that all the fields are already configured in the example schema. However, these fields are named differently in MongoDB so we needed to specify a mapping (in application.conf) from the MongoDB names to the Solr names. Apart from this, all I had to do was start up the example app using "java -jar start.jar" and view the index via its web interface at http://localhost:8983/solr/.
The SolrPublisher converts the MongoDB field names into equivalent Solr field names, creates a SolrInputDocument with these fields, and sends an addDocument request to the Solr server. It keeps a count of how many it wrote, and commits after every commitInterval (configurable via application.conf) requests. It has a commit() method which is called from the IndexWorker's postStop() lifecycle hook so all messages are committed when the IndexWorker terminates.

For each of these components, I constructed unit tests to verify that they run as expected. If you are interested, you can find the code in my GitHub page for this project. In addition, I also built a unit test to test the message flow through the various actors. To do this, I had to replace the DAOs with Mock versions which did nothing but update some counters. Both the "real" and mock DAOs extend from a single parent type, so I can switch between them in the workers (at the moment using an if condition). I show the Mock DAOs below (without much explanation since its not really needed) below:

One thing to note is that this needs the delsym.testuser parameter in application.conf to be set to true (while all the other DAO unit tests require it to be set to false). I haven't found a good way to handle this, but I figure I should get the rest of the application working first and worry about this later. My next step is to build a REST interface on top of this actor pipeline so clients can send it requests and do limited queries against it (using the Stats message).

I am not sure how this is relevant to the rest of the post. Biswajit, do you want to put some more information in?
