dp-search-reindex-api

Provides detail about search reindex jobs and enables creation and running of them

Getting started

• Set up dependencies locally as follows:

In dp-compose repo run docker-compose up -d to run MongoDB on port 27017.

NB. The above command will also run Site Wide ElasticSearch, on port 11200, which is required by the Search API.

Run vault server -dev (this is required by Zebedee)

In the zebedee repo run ./run.sh to run Zebedee

In the dp-search-api repo set the ELASTIC_SEARCH_URL environment variable as follows (to use the Site Wide ElasticSearch):

export ELASTIC_SEARCH_URL="http://localhost:11200"

Also in the dp-search-api repo run make debug

Make sure that you have a valid local SERVICE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable value; if not then set one up by following these instructions: https://github.com/ONSdigital/zebedee

• Then in the dp-search-reindex-api repo run make debug

Dependencies

• Requires MongoDB running on port 27017
• Requires Zebedee running on port 8082
• Requires Search API running on port 23900
• No further dependencies other than those defined in go.mod

Configuration

Environment variable	Default	Description
BIND_ADDR	localhost:25700	The host and port to bind to (The http:// scheme prefix is added programmatically)

HEALTHCHECK_INTERVAL	30s	Time between self-healthchecks (time.Duration format)
HEALTHCHECK_CRITICAL_TIMEOUT	90s	Time to wait until an unhealthy dependent propagates its state to make this app unhealthy (time.Duration format)
MAX_REINDEX_JOB_RUNTIME	3600s	The maximum amount of time that a reindex job is allowed to run before another reindex job can be started
MONGODB_BIND_ADDR	localhost:27017	The MongoDB bind address
MONGODB_JOBS_COLLECTION	jobs	MongoDB jobs collection
MONGODB_LOCKS_COLLECTION	jobs_locks	MongoDB locks collection
MONGODB_TASKS_COLLECTION	tasks	MongoDB tasks collection
MONGODB_DATABASE	search	The MongoDB search database
DEFAULT_MAXIMUM_LIMIT	1000	The maximum number of items to be returned in any list endpoint (to prevent performance issues)
DEFAULT_LIMIT	20	The default number of items to be returned from a list endpoint
DEFAULT_OFFSET	0	The number of items into the full list (i.e. the 0-based index) that a particular response is starting at
ZEBEDEE_URL	http://localhost:8082	The URL to Zebedee (for authorisation)
TASK_NAME_VALUES	dataset-api,zebedee	The list of permissible values that can be used for the task_name when creating a new task for a reindex job
SEARCH_API_URL	http://localhost:23900	The URL to the Search API (for creating new ElasticSearch indexes)
SERVICE_AUTH_TOKEN		This is required to identify the Search Reindex API when it calls the Search API POST /search endpoint

Testing

• Run the component tests with this command go test -component
• Run the unit tests with this command make test
• For all details of the service endpoints use a swagger editor such as this one to view the swagger specification

When running the service (see 'Getting Started') then one can use command line tool (cURL) or REST API client (e.g. Postman) to test the endpoints:

• POST: http://localhost:25700/jobs (should post a default job into the data store and return a JSON representation of it, should also create a new ElasticSearch index)
• GET: http://localhost:25700/jobs/ID NB. Use the id returned by the POST call above e.g. http://localhost:25700/jobs/bc7b87de-abf5-45c5-8e3c-e2a575cab28a (should get a job from the data store)
• GET: http://localhost:25700/jobs (should get all the jobs from the data store)
• GET: http://localhost:25700/jobs?offset=1&limit=2 (should get no more than 2 jobs, from the data store, starting from index 1)
• PUT: http://localhost:25700/jobs/ID/number_of_tasks/10 (should put a value of 10 in the number_of_tasks field for the job with that particular id)
• GET: http://localhost:25700/health (should show the health check details)
• POST: http://localhost:25700/jobs/ID/tasks (should post a task into the data store and return a JSON representation of it) NB. This endpoint requires authorisation. Choose 'Bearer Token' as the authorisation type in Postman. The token to use can be found by this command echo $SERVICE_AUTH_TOKEN The endpoint also requires a body, which should contain the task name, and the number of documents e.g. { "task_name": "dataset-api", "number_of_documents": 29 }
• GET: http://localhost:25700/jobs/ID/tasks/TASK_NAME (should get a task from the data store)
• GET: http://localhost:25700/jobs/ID/tasks (should get all the tasks, for a particular job, from the data store)
