public abstract class HTTPSearcher
extends ClusterSearcher<Connection>

Generic superclass of searchers making connections to some HTTP service. This supports clustered connections - a list of alternative servers may be given, requests will be hashed across these and failed over in case some are down.

This simply provides some utility methods for working with http connections and implements ping against the service.

This searcher contains code from the Apache httpcomponents client library, licensed to the Apache Software Foundation under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Please refer to http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 for details.

This class automatically adds a meta hit containing latency and other meta information about the obtained HTTP data using createRequestMeta(). The fields available in the hit are:

HTTPSearcher.LOG_LATENCY_START

The latency of the external provider answering a request.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_LATENCY_FINISH

Total time of the HTTP traffic, but also decoding of the data, as this happens at the same time.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_HITCOUNT

Number of concrete hits in the result returned by this provider.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_URI

The complete URI used for external service.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_SCHEME

The scheme of the request URI sent.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_HOST

The host used for the request URI sent.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_PORT

The port used for the request URI sent.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_PATH

Path element of the request URI sent.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_STATUS

Status code of the HTTP response.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_PROXY_TYPE

The proxy type used, if any. Default is "http".

HTTPSearcher.LOG_PROXY_HOST

The proxy host, if any.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_PROXY_PORT

The proxy port, if any.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_HEADER_PREFIX prepended to request header field name

The content of any additional request header fields.

HTTPSearcher.LOG_RESPONSE_HEADER_PREFIX prepended to response header field name

The content of any additional response header fields.

connections - the connections to establish to the backend nodes

parameters - the http parameters to use. This object will be frozen if it isn't already

Method Detail

initializeCertificate

private void initializeCertificate(HTTPParameters parameters,
                                   com.yahoo.jdisc.http.CertificateStore certificateStore)

Deprecated.

Initialize certificate store and proxy if they have been set to non-null, non-empty values. It will wrap thrown exceptions from the certificate store into RuntimeException and propagate them.

getParameters

public HTTPParameters getParameters()

Deprecated.

Returns the HTTP parameters used in this. This is always frozen

getQueryMap

public Map<String,String> getQueryMap(Query query)

Deprecated.

Returns the key-value pairs that should be added as properties to the request url sent to the service. Must be overridden in subclasses to add the key-values expected by the service in question, unless getURI(com.yahoo.search.Query, com.yahoo.search.federation.http.Connection) (from which this is called) is overridden.

This default implementation returns an empty LinkedHashMap.

initializeCertificate

private void initializeCertificate(String applicationId,
                                   long ttl,
                                   long retry,
                                   com.yahoo.jdisc.http.CertificateStore certificateStore)

Deprecated.

Initialize the certificate. This will warn but not throw if certificates could not be loaded, as the certificates are external state which can fail independently.

initializeProxy

private void initializeProxy(String host,
                             int port)

Deprecated.

Initialize the certificate proxy setting.

getURI

protected URI getURI(Query query,
                     Connection connection)
              throws MalformedURLException,
                     URISyntaxException

Deprecated.

Same a getURI(query, offset, hits, null).

Throws:

MalformedURLException

URISyntaxException

See Also:

getURI(Query, Hit, Connection)

getURI

protected URI getURI(Query query,
                     Hit requestMeta,
                     Connection connection)
              throws MalformedURLException,
                     URISyntaxException

Deprecated.

Creates the URI for a query. Populates the requestMeta meta hit with the created URI HTTP properties.

Parameters:

requestMeta - a meta hit that holds logging information about this request (may be null).

Throws:

MalformedURLException

URISyntaxException

getPath

protected String getPath()

Deprecated.

Called by getURI() to get the path of the URI for the external service. The default implementation returns httpParameters.getPath(); subclasses which only wants to override the path from httpParameters may use this method instead of overriding all of getURI().

Returns:

the path to use for getURI

getPingURI

protected URI getPingURI(Connection connection)
                  throws MalformedURLException,
                         URISyntaxException

Deprecated.

The URI that is used to check if the provider is up or down. This will again be used in the checkPing method by checking that we get a response that has a good status code (below 300). If better validation than just status code checking is needed, override the checkPing method.

Throws:

MalformedURLException

URISyntaxException

getPingPath

protected String getPingPath()

Deprecated.

Called by getPingURI() to get the path of the URI for pinging the external service. The default implementation returns httpParameters.getPath(); subclasses which only wants to override the path from httpParameters may use this method instead of overriding all of getPingURI().

Returns:

the path to use for getPingURI

checkPing

protected void checkPing(org.apache.http.HttpResponse response,
                         Pong pong)

Deprecated.

Checks if the response is valid.

Parameters:

response - The response from the ping request

pong - The pong result to return back to the calling method. This method will add an error to the pong result (using addError) if the status of the HTTP response is 300 or above.

ping

public Pong ping(Ping ping,
                 Connection connection)

Deprecated.

Pinging in HTTPBackend is done by creating a PING uri from http://host:port/path. If this returns a status that is below 300, the ping is considered good. If another uri is needed for pinging, reimplement getPingURI. Override either this method to change how ping

Specified by:

ping in class ClusterSearcher<Connection>

getPingResponse

private org.apache.http.HttpResponse getPingResponse(URI uri,
