26
Notes on system stability:
27
	**WARNING**: when shutting down the VM, always first stop Postgres:
28
		sudo service postgresql stop
29
		this prevents the OS from SIGKILLing Postgres, which sometimes causes
30
		database corruption 
31
	**WARNING**: system upgrades can break key parts of the full-database
32
		import, causing errors such as disk space overruns. for this reason, it
33
		is recommended to maintain a snapshot copy of the VM as it was at the
34
		last successful import, for fallback use if a system upgrade breaks
35
		anything. system upgrades on the snapshot VM should be disabled
36
		completely, and because this will also disable security fixes, the
37
		snapshot VM should be disconnected from the internet and all networking
38
		interfaces. (this is an unfortunate consequence of modern OSes being
39
		written in non-memory-safe languages such as C and C++.)
40

    
41
Notes on running programs:
42
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
43
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
44
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
45
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
46

    
47
Notes on editing files:
48
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
49
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
50
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)
51

    
52
Full database import:
53
	**WARNING**: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
54
		breaking column-based import
55
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, as described above under
56
		"Notes on running programs"
57
	**IMPORTANT**: the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time
58
		when the DB will not be needed for other uses. this is necessary because
59
		vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import, due to
60
		the import using all the available cores.
61
	do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
62
		your local machine"
63
	On local machine:
64
		make inputs/upload
65
		make inputs/upload live=1
66
		make test by_col=1 # runtime: 1 h ("53m7.383s") @starscream
67
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
68
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
69
			See note under Testing below
70
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
71
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
72
	up
73
	make inputs/download
74
	make inputs/download live=1
75
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
76
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
77
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
78
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
79
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
80
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
81
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
82
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
83
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
84
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
85
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
86
		make postgres_restart
87
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
88
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
89
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
90
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
91
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
92
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32; then next day w/ 2 datasources
93
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
94
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
95
			List backups/ to view older backups
96
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
97
			Remove these backups
98
	for full import:
99
		screen
100
		Press ENTER
101
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
102
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
103
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
104
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
105
	on local machine:
106
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
107
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
108
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
109
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
110
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
111
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
112
		svn info
113
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
114
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
115
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
116
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
117
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
118
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
119
		export version=custom_import_name
120
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
121
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
122
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
123
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
124
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
125
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
126
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
127
		To view progress:
128
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
129
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
130
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
131
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
132
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
133
		kill % # cancel after_import()
134
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
135
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
136
		due to continuously-changing files
137
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
138
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
139
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
140
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
141
		export version=<version>
142
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
143
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
144
	Get $version: echo $version
145
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
146
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
147
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
148
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
149
	check for disk space errors:
150
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
151
		if there are any matches:
152
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
153
				Single datasource import
154
			bin/after_import &
155
			wait for the import to finish
156
	tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
157
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
158
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
159
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
160
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
161
	Otherwise, continue
162
	In PostgreSQL:
163
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
164
		Get the # observations
165
		Get the # datasources
166
		Get the # datasources with observations
167
		in the r# schema:
168
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
169
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
170
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
171
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
172
			end depending on import order).
173
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
174
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
175
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
176
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
177
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
178
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
179
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
180
			On local machine:
181
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
182
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
183
				make schemas/remake
184
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
185
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
186
				Commit
187
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
188
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
189
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
190
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
191
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
192
	Publish the new import:
193
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
194
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
195
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
196
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
197
	unset version
198
	make backups/upload live=1
199
	on local machine:
200
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
201
			# download backup to local machine
202
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
203
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
204
		For each newly-archived backup:
205
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
206
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
207
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
208
		On local machine:
209
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
210
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
211
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
212
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
213
				now in the copied tab instead
214
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
215
		export version=<version>
216
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
217
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
218
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
219
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
220
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
221
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
222
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
223
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
224
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
225
	Running individual steps separately:
226
	To run TNRS:
227
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
228
		to rescrub all names:
229
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
230
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
231
		make scrub &
232
		To view progress:
233
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
234
	To re-run geoscrubbing:
235
		$ screen
236
		# press Enter
237
		# to use an import other than public: $ export version=<version>
238
		$ bin/psql_verbose_vegbien <<<'SELECT geoscrub_input_view_modify();' &
239
			# runtime: 8 min ("7:40.54") @r14089 @vegbiendev
240
		# wait until done
241
		$ rm=1 exports/geoscrub_input.csv.run
242
			# runtime: 25 s ("0m24.936s") @r14089 @vegbiendev

249
		# re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
250
		# press Ctrl+D
251
		# remake the analytical DB (below)
252
	To remake analytical DB:
253
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
254
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
255
		To view progress:
256
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
257
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
258
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
259
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
260
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
261
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
262
			$version with the appropriate revision
263
		make backups/upload live=1
264

    
265
Datasource setup:
266
	On local machine:
267
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
268
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
269
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
270
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
271
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
272
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
273
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
274
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
275
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
276
		For .sql exports:
277
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
278
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
279
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
280
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
281
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
282
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
283
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
284
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
285
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
286
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
287
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
288
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
289
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
290
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
291
	For MS Access databases:
292
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
293
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
294
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
295
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
296
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
297
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
298
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
299
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
300
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
301
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
302
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
303
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
304
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
305
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
306
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
307
			name must end in ".src"
308
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
309
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
310
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
311
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
312
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
313
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
314
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
315
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
316
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
317
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
318
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
319
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
320
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
321
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
322
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
323
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
324
			that depend on it
325
		For a new-style datasource:
326
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
327
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
328
	Install the staging tables:
329
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
330
		For a MySQL .sql export:
331
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
332
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
333
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
334
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
335
			tail provides a header line with the filename
336
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
337
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
338
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
339
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
340
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
341
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
342
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
343
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
344
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
345
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
346
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
347
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
348
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
349
				Save
350
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
351
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
352
	Map each table's columns:
353
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
354
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
355
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
356
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
357
				left column of the core map
358
			Save
359
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
360
	Accept the test cases:
361
		For a new-style datasource:
362
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
363
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
364
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
365
		For an old-style datasource:
366
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
367
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
368
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
369
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
370
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
371
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
372
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
373
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
374
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
375
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
376
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
377
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
378
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
379
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
380
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
381
	Update vegbiendev:
382
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
383
			up
384
		On local machine:
385
			./fix_perms
386
			make inputs/upload
387
			make inputs/upload live=1
388
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
389
			up
390
			make inputs/download
391
			make inputs/download live=1
392
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
393

539
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
540
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
541
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
542
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
543
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
544
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
646
		To rename a table:
647
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
648
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
649
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
650
				Search for <new>
651
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
652
		To rename a column:
653
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
654
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
655
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
656
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
657
		Determine the poster size:
658
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
659
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
660
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
661
			Zoom in as far as possible
662
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
663
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
664
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
665
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
666
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
667
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
668
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
669
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
670
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
671
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
672
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
673
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
674
		Determine the cost:
675
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
676
				charges the following for posters:
677
				base: $7.25/sq ft
678
				lamination: $3/sq ft
679
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
682
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
683
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
684
		export log= n=2
685
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
686
	On local machine:
687
	Mapping process: make test
688
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
689
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
690
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
691
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
692
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
693
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
694
			the appropriate null value to use.
695
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
696
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
697
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
