Old Release

This documentation covers an old version of Fedora. Looking for another version? See all documentation.

 

Data Overview

Stanford has a collection of publications consisting of page images, metadata, and arrangement (Saltworks), containing 16712 objects/655237 items/273GB of data with the following distribution:

 

> quantile(file_sizes$size, c(0, .5, .7, .9, 1))

In production, the object metadata is stored in Fedora, but the page images and other assets are stored on the file system and (somehow associated back to the object.. TBD).

Objects contain the following datastreams:

Datastream IDMIME Type
DC
text/xml
RELS-EXT
text/xml
extracted_entities
application/xml
location
text/xml
zotero
application/rdf+xml

 

On the filesystem are a variety of files (including some duplicates of data in fedora?), e.g.:

  • 4.0K DC
  •  20K Feigenbaum_00013946-METS.xml
  • 4.0K Feigenbaum_00013946-TEXT.xml
  • 4.0K RELS-EXT
  •  44K bd826tf2716.pdf
  • 4.0K bd826tf2716.txt
  •  72K bd826tf2716_00001.jp2
  • 8.0K bd826tf2716_00001.xml
  •  64K bd826tf2716_00002.jp2
  • 8.0K bd826tf2716_00002.xml
  •  68K bd826tf2716_000BW.jp2
  • 4.0K checksum
  • 4.0K descMetadata
  • 4.0K extracted_entities.xml
  • 4.0K flipbook.json
  • 4.0K flipbook.old
  •    0 location
  •    0 properties
  •    0 stories
  • 4.0K thumb.jpg
  • 4.0K zotero.xml

 

Test 1: Simple Ingest into Fedora 3

For a first test, we're going to ingest all the data from the filesystem into a clean fcrepo3 repository, using the filename as the datastream name.

Using Fedora 3.7.1, clean install, using these properties:

database=mysql
database.driver=included
database.jdbcDriverClass=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
database.mysql.jdbcDriverClass=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
database.mysql.driver=included
database.jdbcURL=jdbc\:mysql\://localhost/fedora?useUnicode\=true
database.mysql.jdbcURL=jdbc\:mysql\://localhost/fedora?useUnicode\=true
database.username=fedora
database.password=redacted
install.type=custom
deploy.local.services=false
install.tomcat=false
servlet.engine=existingTomcat
fedora.home=/home/lyberadmin/apps/fedora/home
fedora.serverHost=sul-fedora-dev-a.stanford.edu
fedora.serverContext=fedora
tomcat.http.port=8080
tomcat.shutdown.port=8005
ssl.available=true
tomcat.ssl.port=8443
tomcat.home=/usr/share/tomcat6
ri.enabled=true
messaging.enabled=false
messaging.uri=
apim.ssl.required=false
apia.ssl.required=false
apia.auth.required=false
fesl.authz.enabled=false
fesl.authn.enabled=true
xacml.enabled=false
keystore.file=included

 

Tomcat is proxied through an Apache HTTPD server.

 

Using bash:

#!/bin/bash
base_url="http://fedoraAdmin:fedoraAdmin@localhost/fedora"

RuntimePrint()
{
 duration=$(echo "scale=3;(${m2t}-${m1t})/(1*10^09)"|bc|sed 's/^\./0./')
 echo -e "${objectId} ${datastreams} ${size} ${duration}\tsec"
 echo -e "${objectId} ${datastreams} ${size} ${duration}" >> /data/fcrepo3-total-create-object-time
}

CreateObject() {
    pid="druid:$1"
    curl -X POST "$base_url/objects/$pid" &> /dev/null
    cd /data-ro/assets/$1

    for f in $( ls ); do
      datastreams=$[$datastreams+1]
      size=$[$size+`stat -c "%s" $f`]
      curl -X POST --data-binary @$f "$base_url/objects/$pid/datastreams/$f?controlGroup=M"  &> /dev/null
    done
    cd /data
}

BenchmarkObject() {
  objectId=$1
  if [ -d /data-ro/assets/$objectId ]; then
    m1t=$(date +%s%N); m1l=$LINENO
    CreateObject $objectId
    m2t=$(date +%s%N); m2l=$LINENO; RuntimePrint
  fi
}

export -f BenchmarkObject
export -f CreateObject
export -f RuntimePrint
export base_url

cat - | parallel -P $THREADS --env _ BenchmarkObject

Test 2: Simple Ingest into Fedora 4

Ingest all the data into fcrepo4 as binaries on containers.

Using jgroups configuration at https://gist.github.com/cbeer/fd3997e40fe014eab071

Using curl:

Test 2a: Ingest all the data as containers and binaries, one at a time

 

Test 2b: Ingest all the data as containers arranged in a druid tree

Test 3: Realistic Ingest into Fedora 3

Ingest all the data into fcrepo3 making reasonable content modeling assumptions:

 - each page as an object

 - ? 

Using ActiveFedora:

Test 4: Realistic Ingest into Fedora 4

  • add RDF as properties on resources
  • Each page as a ordered same-name sibling on an container 

 

Using ldp-client:

 

 

  • No labels

  1. Thanks for this, Chris Beer. I agree that we will get a much better sense of F4's performance by using real collections and scenarios.

    Could you describe/explain the results of Tests 1a and 1b?

  2. Nope. I think they'll only make sense relative to the fcrepo4 results (or, the multithreaded fcrepo3 results).

  3. What's the ETA on F4 single- and multi-threaded tests?
