[Fez-developers] Fez 2 code committed to Subversion trunk

[Christiaan K. <c.k...@li...>]

Hi Fez Users and Developers,

I have committed the base code for what will be Fez 2 into the Fez
subversion trunk.

This is a fairly major upgrade. Please see below for the commit comment or
take a look at the websvn view log here:

http://dev-repo.library.uq.edu.au/websvn/log.php?repname=fez&path=%2F&rev=0&
sc=0&isdir=1

We will be rolling this into our production systems soon, but should be ok
for testing and development as it is.

The commit message is:

MAJOR COMMIT! FEZ 2!

* BACKUP YOUR FEZ SQL DATABASE BEFORE UPGRADING *

This is the Merge of 60 days Fez 2 development.

After updating to this revision you must then run upgrade (as usual), import
the latest xsds.xml file and then run a full fedora -> fez index 'discover
new fedora objects' (you may have to turn javascript off for that page
temporarily).

Major new features:

- Completely rewritten fez index sql structure to massively improve
performance and scaling into the hundreds of thousands of objects (and
probably millions).

- Central place for sql creation (record::getlisting).

- Front page ajax 'google suggest' style now is pretty much instant (if you
take off the 300ms inbuilt delay.

- Auth index sql structure is changed also. New auth_lister table.

- NOTE: The fezacml shields are now all yellow no matter what
(inherit/exclude/both) (not 3 colors - this may come back in a future
commit) 

- Auth roles table exists now and auth roles foreign keys in auth_index2,
workflow_roles and workflow_state_roles are now 1-M table relationships with
IDS (not comma separated strings. The workflow importer/exporter works the
same though (uses strings and just translates in and out).

- Many more search keys (37) now

- Can now search in by created date/updated date/published date with
before/after/between dates

- OAI interface reworked to use the new index (faster better etc)

- Description etc can/is now stored in a text data type in the database so
is not truncated to 255 characters (helps OAI/lists)

- Fedora/Fez index/reindex now calls class Fedora_Direct_Access completely
now rather than use the fedora apis to massively improve performance and
stability

- 'Discover new Fedora Objects' background process now updates with time per
object and expected finish time just like the others


Cheers,
Christiaan
