inputs/SALVIAS/run_: `make inputs/SALVIAS/validate`: documented runtime (5 min)

inputs/bien2_traits/run: documented `make inputs/bien2_traits/validate` runtime (9 min)

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validations: specimens queries: added autogenerated ~type tables

inputs/NY/run: `make inputs/NY/validate`: updated runtime (5 min)

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: removed DDL statements, using the steps at wiki.vegpath.org/Aggregating_validations_refactoring#remove-DDL-statements

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validations: added specimens queries to pipeline

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: parameterize queries by datasource

validation/aggregating/**.sql output queries: use `SET join_collapse_limit = 1;` to match public_validations.rematerialize_out_view()

fix: schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validations.rematerialize_out_view(text, regclass): run with join_collapse_limit = 1 to fix query planner issues. this option has been tested on the queries that do not yet use the standard join sequence (plots #11,12,13,14,16,17,18), and all of these queries also work fine with join_collapse_limit = 1. (the standard join sequence is used to ensure both correctness of the query and compatibility with join_collapse_limit = 1, but in some cases is not needed for join_collapse_limit.)

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: _specimens_12_distinct_collector_name_collect_num_date_w_count: turn off join_collapse_limit instead of enable_mergejoin/enable_hashjoin, because join_collapse_limit is something that we will eventually want to turn off for all queries, which would avoid this query needing special handling. (on the other hand, enable_mergejoin/enable_hashjoin may be necessary for some queries and we probably won't turn them off for all queries.)

bugfix: lib/runscripts/table.run: table_make_install(): need to ignore skip_table() errexit

lib/sh/util.sh: import_vars: documented that vars already set will not be overwritten

inputs/NY/run: documented `make inputs/NY/validate` runtime (2 min, currently for the input queries)

added inputs/Madidi/_src/ to match wiki steps in wiki.vegpath.org/Adding_a_flat-file_datasource

added validation/aggregating/pipeline/validations_on_sparse_datasources.odg

planning/workflow/bien3_architecture/stage_I.png, stages.png: synced to bien3_architecture.pptx

planning/workflow/bien3_architecture.pptx: stage I: made all datasources the same height so that the denormalized VegCore schema boxes would all look exactly the same. widened the denormalized VegCore schema boxes to make it visually clear that they have more columns than the staging tables denormalized together

planning/workflow/bien3_architecture/stage_I.png, stages.png: synced to bien3_architecture.pptx

planning/workflow/bien3_architecture.pptx: updated to reflect decisions made in the 2014-04-03 conference call (wiki.vegpath.org/2014-04-03_conference_call#import-process-2)

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: implemented _specimens_14_count_of_all_invalid_verbatim_lat_long

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: implemented _specimens_12_distinct_collector_name_collect_num_date_w_count

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: _specimens_13_count_of_all_verbatim_and_decimal_lat_long: fixed whitespace

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: removed trailing whitespace

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: implemented _specimens_13_count_of_all_verbatim_and_decimal_lat_long

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: implemented _specimens_11_list_of_three_standard_political_divisions

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: *_of_species_binomials: switched back to the old queries that use the split-apart ranks instead of the concatenated taxon name. note that these will not work on all specimens datasources, but now that #6,7 were selected to use the concatenated taxon name, this isn't a problem.

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql, NY/qualitative_validations_source_db_NYBG.VegCore.sql, inputs/NY/validations.sql: *_of_species_binomials: renamed columns to species_binomial to reflect reverted query name

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql, NY/qualitative_validations_source_db_NYBG.VegCore.sql, inputs/NY/validations.sql: *_of_verbatim_species_excluding_author: renamed to *_species_binomials for clarity

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql, NY/qualitative_validations_source_db_NYBG.VegCore.sql, inputs/NY/validations.sql: _specimens_04_count_of_unique_verbatim_species_with_author, _specimens_05_list_of_unique_verbatim_species_with_author: switched back to original names because #6,7 now do the same thing as #4,5, so we should include the differing result set of #4,5 for datasources that provide it

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: implemented _specimens_10_count_number_of_records_by_institution

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql, NY/qualitative_validations_source_db_NYBG.VegCore.sql, inputs/NY/validations.sql: use taxon_name*_with_author everywhere instead of custom column names, for consistency

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql, NY/qualitative_validations_source_db_NYBG.VegCore.sql, inputs/NY/validations.sql: *_of_verbatim_subspecific_taxa_without_author, etc.: renamed to *_with_author because these now use the concatenated name, rather than the without-author name that only some specimens datasources provide

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: implemented _specimens_06_count_of_unique_verb_subsp_taxa_without_author, _specimens_07_list_of_verbatim_subspecific_taxa_without_author

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql, NY/qualitative_validations_source_db_NYBG.VegCore.sql, inputs/NY/validations.sql: *_verbatim_species_without_author, etc.: renamed to *_with_author because these now use the concatenated name, rather than the without-author name that only some specimens datasources provide

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: removed extra ; at ends of queries

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: use the concatenated taxon name instead of concatenating the ranks, as decided in the 2014-03-27 conference call (wiki.vegpath.org/2014-03-27_conference_call#aggregating-validations)

validation/aggregating/specimens/qualitative_validations_specimens.sql: use the concatenated taxon name instead of concatenating the ranks, as decided in the 2014-03-27 conference call (wiki.vegpath.org/2014-03-27_conference_call#aggregating-validations)

/README.TXT: Full database import: disk space: added high-water mark of 1.8 TB @11:15:05

/README.TXT: Full database import: added steps to figure out which datasource tables were not successfully imported due to disk space errors

fix: /README.TXT: Full database import: moved verification of exit statuses before verification of DB contents because there is no point in verifying the DB if the datasources didn't finish importing

/README.TXT: Full database import: disk space: documented that the entire disk again gets used long after the beginning of the import, when only a few datasources are running (ie. it definitely seems to be a recent bug in Postgres, and not a latent problem)

/README.TXT: Maintenance: added task to regularly re-run full-database import so that bugs in it don't pile up. it needs to be kept in working order so that it works when it's needed.

/README.TXT: Full database import: added steps to manually reimport the applicable datasources if there are errors due to exceeding available disk space

/README.TXT: Full database import: removed extra `ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu` before "upload logs", because the previous steps also occur on vegbiendev

/README.TXT: Notes on system stability: added recommendation to maintain a snapshot copy of the VM as it was at the last successful import, for fallback use if a system upgrade breaks anything. system upgrades on the snapshot VM should be disabled completely, and because this will also disable security fixes, the snapshot VM should be disconnected from the internet and all networking interfaces. (this is an unfortunate consequence of modern OSes being written in non-memory-safe languages such as C and C++.)

/README.TXT: Full database import: disk space: documented that a higher high-water mark actually occurs later in the import, so that the disk usage issue actually remains a problem after the very beginning

fix: /README.TXT: Full database import: disk space: increased the minimum free space recommendation to 1 TB, because analysis of the disk usage during the beginning of the import shows that actually close to the entire amount is being used. however, this problem is normally undetectable unless the disk space is specifically checked, because it only manifests itself if the available disk space is exceeded completely.

/README.TXT: Full database import: documented that the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time when the DB will not be needed for other uses, because vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import due to the import using all the available cores

/README.TXT: Full database import: documented that CPU load warning e-mails can safely be ignored. they happen because the parallel imports use all the available cores.

fix: lib/common.Makefile: $(nice): use an increment of +10 instead of +5 because +5 still leaves the shell sluggish

lib/common.Makefile: added $(nice) and use it everywhere its definition is used

/README.TXT: Full database import: exiting `screen`: clarify that you must use `exit`, as Ctrl+D gets disabled to prevent accidental exits

/README.TXT: Full database import: added step to restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed)

/Makefile: postgres_restart-Linux: documented that the manual running of the command is needed because for some reason, pg_ctl does not work when run inside make

fix: /Makefile: postgres_restart-Linux: added pause after telling the user the command to run

/Makefile: $(postgresReload-*): use postgres_restart for the postgres-restarting step

bugfix: /Makefile: postgres_restart: added separate Linux version that deals with Linux-specific issues (as in $(postgresReload-Linux))

/Makefile: added postgres_restart, since this is often invoked separately from the entire postgres_reload target

/README.TXT: Full database import: disk space: increased minimum requirement to 500GB (~200GB extra), as the import may use significant additional space for temp tables

/README.TXT: Full database import: documented that env vars set before invoking `screen` will be inherited by it, so these steps will work even if they come before `screen`

backups/TNRS.backup.md5: updated

/README.TXT: Full database import: added steps to set a custom version, if the auto-assigned one would cause a collision with the last import

/README.TXT: Full database import: `unset version`: documented that this is needed because it may have been set in the outer shell

fix: lib/sql_io.py: put_table(): don't warn if can't create pkey, because this just indicates that a set-returning function was used. this should get rid of the last of the confusing benign warnings in the test output.

fix: lib/sql.py: flatten(): don't warn if can't create pkey, because this just indicates that a set-returning function was used

lib/sql.py: run_query_into() added add_pkey_warn param to support turning off "could not create unique index" warnings, which are sometimes benign (eg. when using set-returning functions with column-based import)

/README.TXT: Full database import: disk space: updated schema size (315GB)

/README.TXT: Full database import: removed `up` on jupiter because this is done as part of "do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, ..."

/README.TXT: Full database import: moved "do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, ..." outside of "On local machine" because these steps don't only take place on the local machine

/README.TXT: use `up` instead of `svn up --force` for consistency

fix: /README.TXT: always use `up` instead of `svn up` since this includes --force

/README.TXT: Full database import: removed unneeded `ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk` at beginning since this is performed again the first time it's needed

fix: /README.TXT: Full database import: removed erroneous line that resulted from a search-and-replace of connection commands in r12396. (it used to read "Follow the steps under Connecting to vegbiendev above, using jupiter instead". this step is now performed on the line below it.)

bin/make_analytical_db: removed remake_diff_tables() because this is now done for each datasource in inputs/input.Makefile

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: schemas/vegbien.sql(): need to util.use_schema(schema_anchor) before initializing vars that use own-schema functions

inputs/input.Makefile: validate: redirect the output to the log, as for other import-related operations

inputs/input.Makefile: import: validate at the end of the import

inputs/input.Makefile: added new-style aggregating validations (`validate` target)

bin/make_analytical_db: removed no longer needed "${public}_validations" schema qualifier, now that it is in the search_path

fix: bin/vegbien_dest: added public_validations

added inputs/GBIF/_src/0001000-131106143450413.zip.header.txt, which is useful to see what fields will be available when we switch to the new GBIF export format

lib/sh/util.sh: removed end_try_subshell, which now does the same thing as end_try

fix: lib/sh/archives.sh: unzip(): support -p option, which pipes extracted data to stdout

added inputs/GBIF/_src/0001000-131106143450413.zip.header.txt.run

added lib/runscripts/extract_header.run

fix: lib/sh/make.sh: direct the user to use begin_target instead of set_make_vars (set_make_vars is now used by begin_target)

fix: lib/runscripts/util.run: to_top_file(): handle $_remake properly, without requiring deferred_check_target_exists to set to_file()'s flags

bugfix: lib/sh/util.sh: die(): usage: documented that if msg uses $(...), save_e is needed

bugfix: lib/sh/util.sh: already_exists_msg(): need to save_e, because new $(mk_hint) call resets $?

lib/sh/util.sh: die(): always errexit even if $e = 0, because die always indicates an error

lib/sh/util.sh: added rethrow!(), which always errexits, even if $e = 0

lib/sh/util.sh: rethrow(): also work in situations where $e is not set

lib/sh/util.sh: rethrow: made it a function since there is now no need for it to be an alias

lib/sh/util.sh: rethrow: removed `test "$e" != 0` since errexit only does anything if $e != 0

lib/sh/util.sh: removed separate rethrow_exit*, rethrow_subshell*, since they now do the same thing as rethrow*

lib/sh/util.sh: rethrow*!: use new errexit, which works in functions and subshells

lib/sh/util.sh: added errexit(), used in place of (exit "$1") because a bug in bash prevents subshells from triggering errexit

lib/sh/util.sh: added bool!()

fix: lib/sh/util.sh: redir(): need to indent before invoking an external command (not just in command__exec(), but for all redir() calls)

lib/sh/make.sh: with_rm(): documented that it only works inside a runscript target that starts w/ begin_target
