[Ann] Incremental filtering: a new way for catalog query optimization
by Dieter Maurer 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

Catalog searches are often slow. IncrementalSearch[2] can lead to drastic gains in query time. However, there is a large class of queries that cannot be significantly sped up: queries that contain huge Or subqueries involving bushy indexes, usually resulting from a time based subquery checking effectiveness and expiration (or other similar use cases) The newest versions of the companions "AdvancedQuery", "ManagableIndex" and "IncrementalSearch[2]" support incremental filtering to execute most such queries efficiently. With incremental filtering, the index is not use in the usual way. Instead, the remaining query parts determine a set of document candidates with is then filtered by the filtering subqueries, dropping documents not matched by these subqueries. Lets look at an example: Suppose you search for news containing 'AdvancedQuery' which are effective and not expired. The standard query would look like Eq('portal_type','News') & Eq('SearchableText', 'AdvancedQuery') & Le('effective', now) & Ge('expires', now) Internally, the "Le('effective', now)" subquery is expanded into "Or(*[Eq('effective', t) for t in 'effective' and t<=now]) which usually is huge. The "Ge" subquery is similarly expanded. The filtering query has the form Eq('portal_type','News') & Eq('SearchableText', 'AdvancedQuery') & Ge('expires', now, filter=True) & Le('effective', now, filter=True) When this query is executed, "Eq('portal_type','News') & Eq('SearchableText', 'AdvancedQuery')" determines a set of candidate objects. From this (probably small) set, objects not satisfying "expires >= now" and (then) "effective <= now" are filtered out. This way, we avoid the construction of huge Or subqueries. Of course, filtering is only efficient in some circumstances: usually, when the other query parts already garantee a small set of candidates and the filtering can avoid the construction of large intermediaries. Otherwise, filtering may not improve the query speed but increase it (maybe even drastically). Incremental filtering is a powerful optimazation tool, which need careful usage... You need the complete bundle ("AdvancedQuery", "IncrementalSearch[2]" and "ManagableIndex") when you want to use incremental filtering.

No time for foolery! Alas. Zwiki 0.52 has been released at http:// zwiki.org<http://zwiki.org/>. Zwiki is a free, powerful, easy to use and manage wiki engine for Zope 2; it works with standard Zope, CMF or Plone sites. Here is the news.

Upgrade notes A lot of skins code has changed. Your old wikis should keep working as before except: - if you have a customized ``recentchanges`` or ``searchwiki`` template you'll need to delete it or replace with the latest and re-customize - full/simple/minimal links in old custom skin templates will no longer work. - http://zwiki.org/HowToUseTheStandardSkinInPlone is now built in, if you made a "Zwiki" CMF skin you can delete it. Changes Installing * fix startup failure with Zope 2.7 (#1222, Frank Laurijssens) * fix a mysterious new bug with cmf/plone registration (#1237) Configuring * leave site links enabled by default again (home, changes, issues...) * fix container context, make page management form create button respect folder permission (#1220) Browsing * switching between plone and standard zwiki skins in CMF/plone sites is now always available, and no longer changes the url.

(AdoptRestructuredText) "As of today, RST is the default page type. Hurrah! And three cheers for trusty old STX, which served us well. It is still the page type of choice when you want to do stuff with embedded DTML or HTML." * fix error displayed on first comment to an RST page (#1233) * show "HTML (WYSIWYG)" in the editform when Epoz is available * remove editform's hard-coded gray background Page hierarchy * make backlinks form smarter * make singletons have same style as other links in contents Mail Issue tracking * don't bother showing "(property change)" in issue mailouts * provide a link to issuebrowser by default * make IssueBrowser show categories more usefully out of the box Translations * Thai translation started (Bunyawat Singchai) * update po files from rosetta and code, simplify file names General * namegeddon. File and class renames and re-ordering for clarity and better organization eg in wing ide * major refactoring of skin templates using macros, the same templates are now used for standard & plone skins (ViewGeddon) * document skin code in Views.py * use PageTemplateFile so view templates will reload in debug mode (macros still don't) * move all images to skins dir, use the standard zwiki page icon in plone * standard_error_message cleanups Urls: http://zwiki.org http://joyful.com http://joyfulsystems.blogspot.com http://zwiki.org/FreeHosting Happy Springcleaning! -Simon
