Manual:MWDumper/ja


 * Important: Beware that MWDumper has not been actively maintained since the mid-2000s, and may or may not work with current deployments. Apparently, it can't be used to import into MediaWiki 1.31 or later.

MWDumper is a tool written in Java for extracting sets of pages from a MediaWiki dump file. For example, it can load Wikipedia's content into MediaWiki.

MWDumper can read MediaWiki XML export dumps (version 0.3, minus uploads), perform optional filtering, and output back to XML or to SQL statements to add things directly to a database in 1.4 or 1.5 schema.

Where to find it
To import current XML export dumps, you'll need an up-to-date build of MWDumper...

You can build an up to date MWDumper from. (See #How to build MWDumper from source, below).

If you have Docker and do not want to build it yourself, you can use the following Docker image which does it for you: https://hub.docker.com/r/ueland/mwdumper/

Prerequisites for imports via MWDumper
Before using mwdumper, your page, text, revision and redirect tables must be empty. To empty them, do this (note that this will wipe out an existing wiki):


 * In SQL:
 * In maintenance directory:

Import dump files with MWDumper
直接データベースのインポートをするためのサンプルのコマンドラインです:

java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.25 pages_full.xml.bz2 | mysql -u -p,  ,   は空でなければなりません.

文字エンコーディング上の注意
データベースがutf8でエンコードされたテキストを要求することを確認して下さい. データベースがlatin1(MySQLのデフォルト)を要求する場合、mwdumper の出力を直接使用する場合テーブルで不正な文字を取得します. これをする一つの方法は上記のサンプルで  を MySQL に渡すことです.

If you want to use the output of mwdumper in a JDBC URL, you should use set  in the query string.

Also make sure that your MediaWiki tables use CHARACTER SET=binary. Otherwise, you may get error messages like  because MySQL fails to distinguish certain characters.

複雑なフィルタリング
複数の出力ファイルを生み出すために複雑なフィルタリングをすることもできます:

java -jar mwdumper.jar \ --output=bzip2:pages_public.xml.bz2 \ --format=xml \ --filter=notalk \ --filter=namespace:\!NS_USER \ --filter=latest \ --output=bzip2:pages_current.xml.bz2 \ --format=xml \ --filter=latest \ --output=gzip:pages_full_1.25.sql.gz \ --format=sql:1.25 \ --output=gzip:pages_full_1.5.sql.gz \ --format=sql:1.5 \ --output=gzip:pages_full_1.4.sql.gz \ --format=sql:1.4 \ pages_full.xml.gz

裸のパラメーターは XML 入力を読み込むためにファイルとして解釈されます; "-"もしくは空の値が与えられた場合、入力は標準入力から読み込まれます. ".gz"もしくは".bz2"拡張子を持つ入力ファイルはそれぞれgzipもしくはbzip2ストリームとして展開されます.

7-zip、.7zファイルの内部展開はまだサポートされていません; p7zipの7zaを通してファイルをそれらのファイルをパイプできます:

7za e -so pages_full.xml.7z | java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.25 | mysql -u -p.
 * The JRE does not allow you to mix the -jar and -classpath arguments (hence the different command structure).
 * The --output argument must before the --format argument.
 * The ampersand in the MySQL URI must be escaped on Unix-like systems.

Example of using mwdumper with a direct connection to MySQL on WindowsXP
Had problems with the example above... this following example works better on XP....

1.Create a batch file with the following text.

set class=mwdumper.jar;mysql-connector-java-3.1.12/mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar set data="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Documents\en.wiki\enwiki-20060207-pages-articles.xml.bz2" java -client -classpath %class% org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper "--output=mysql://127.0.0.1/wikidb?user= &password= &characterEncoding=UTF8" "--format=sql:1.25" %data% pause

2.Download the mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar and mwdumper.jar

3.Run the batch file.

Note
 * 1) It still reports a problem with the import files, "duplicate key"...
 * 2) The class path separator is a ; (semi-colon) in this example; different from the example above.

The "duplicate key" error may result from the page, revision and text tables in the database not being empty, or from character encoding problems. See A note on character encoding.

Performance Tips

 * Please elaborate on these tips if you can.

To speed up importing into a database, you might try the following:

Remove indexes and auto-increment fields
Temporarily remove all indexes and auto_increment fields from the following tables: page, revision and text. This gives a tremendous speed bump, because MySQL will otherwise be updating these indexes after each insert.

Don't forget to recreate the indexes afterwards. Note that it will take a long time to recreate all the removed data.
 * 1) Remove indexes:
 * 2) * You can use the procedure from http://www.javaquery.com/2014/03/mysql-queries-to-show-all-database.html to remove indexes. Execute multiple times and check with "show index from page", etc. if the indexes are removed. See also the drop index statements below.
 * 3) Remove primary keys: In MySQL execute:
 * 4) * alter table revision drop primary key;
 * 5) * alter table text drop primary key;
 * 6) * alter table page drop primary key;
 * 7) Remove auto increment fields: In MySQL execute:
 * 8) * alter table revision change rev_id rev_id int(10) unsigned not null;
 * 9) * alter table text change old_id old_id int(10) unsigned not null;
 * 10) * alter table page change page_id page_id int(10) unsigned not null;

Set -server option
Java's -server option may significantly increase performance on some versions of Sun's JVM for large files. (Not all installations will have this available.)

Increase MySQL's innodb_log_file_size
Increase MySQL's innodb_log_file_size in /etc/mysql/my.cnf. The default is as little as 5mb, but you can improve performance dramatically by increasing this to reduce the number of disk writes. innodb_log_file_size=64M is commonly a good log size; too large of a size may increase recovery time more than is desirable.

Shut down the server cleanly, and move away (don't delete) the log files, which are in /var/lib/mysql and named ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1, and so on. Change the innodb_log_file_size setting. Then restart the server. Test to see if the server is working; if all is well, you can delete the log files you moved.

Disable the binary log
If you don't need it, disable the binary log (log-bin option) during the import. On a standalone machine this is just wasteful, writing a second copy of every query that you'll never use.

To test if binary log is enabled via SQL command, issue the following statement:

More tips in the MySQL reference manual
Various other wacky tips can be found in the MySQL reference manual. If you find any useful ones, please write about them here.

Troubleshooting
If strange XML errors are encountered under Java 1.4, try 1.5:
 * http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
 * http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/java2se50release1.html

If mwdumper gives java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid contributor exception, see.

If it gives java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space exception, run it with larger heap size, for example  (first is starting, second maximum size)

If an error is thrown with a reference to page_counter being missing, use the  parameter. Alternatively, you can create a page_counter column on the table.

Importing XML dumps from old MediaWiki versions may give errors of "Column 'rev_sha1' cannot be null". You'll need to change the column to accept null values, and run afterwards.

How to build MWDumper from source
You can build MWDumper from and let Maven sort out the dependencies. Just:

It should generate the  file (for example  ) on the folder named.

Note that usage examples on this page use, so you should either rename the file to mwdumper.jar, or use   instead.

Alternate method of loading a huge wiki

 * Warning: This method takes days to run.

If you have to load a huge wiki this might help...

Below is a set of instructions that makes loading a large wiki less error prone and maybe a bit faster. It is not a script but rather a set of commands you can copy into bash (running in a screen session.) You'll have to babysit and customize the process for your needs.


 * 1) Dump SQL to disk in even sized chunks.  This takes about 80 Gb of hard drive space and 3 hours for enwiki.
 * 2) Setup the db to receive the chunks.  This takes a few seconds.
 * 3) Import the chunks.  This takes a few days for enwiki.
 * 4) Rebuild the DB.  This takes another day for enwiki.
 * 5) Run standard post import cleanup.  I haven't finished this step successfully yet but some of it can be skipped I think.

export DUMP_PREFIX=/public/datasets/public/enwiki/20130604/enwiki-20130604 export DIR_ROOT=/data/project/dump export DIR=${DIR_ROOT}/enwiki export EXPORT_PROCESSES=4 export IMPORT_PROCESSES=4 export DB=enwiki2 export EXPORT_FILE_SIZE=5 export EXPORT_FILE_SUFFIX_LENGTH=8 export LOG=~/log

bash -c 'sleep 1 && echo y' | mysqladmin drop ${DB} -u root sudo rm -rf ${DIR} rm -rf ${LOG}

sudo mkdir -p ${DIR} sudo chown -R ${USER} ${DIR_ROOT} mkdir -p ${LOG}

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk libicu-dev -y #jdk for mwdumper and libicu-dev for uconv ls -1S ${DUMP_PREFIX}-pages-meta-current*.xml-p* | xargs -I{} -P${EXPORT_PROCESSES} -t bash -c ' mkdir -p ${DIR}/$(basename {}) cd ${DIR}/$(basename {}) bunzip2 -c {} | uconv -f UTF-8 -t ascii --callback escape-xml-dec -v 2> ${LOG}/$(basename {}).uconv | java -jar ~/mwdumper-1.16.jar --format=sql:1.25 2> ${LOG}/$(basename {}).mwdumper | grep INSERT | split -l ${EXPORT_FILE_SIZE} -a ${EXPORT_FILE_SUFFIX_LENGTH} 2> ${LOG}/$(basename {}).split '
 * 1) Dump SQL to disk in even sized chunks.
 * 2) Sort by size descending to keep as many threads as possible hopping.
 * 3) uconv cleans up UTF-8 errors in the source files.
 * 4) grep removes BEGIN and COMMIT statements that mwdumper thinks are good, but I do better below

mysqladmin create ${DB} --default-character-set=utf8 -u root mysql -u root ${DB} < /srv/mediawiki/maintenance/tables.sql mysql -u root ${DB} <<HERE ALTER TABLE page CHANGE page_id page_id INTEGER UNSIGNED, DROP INDEX name_title, DROP INDEX page_random, DROP INDEX page_len, DROP INDEX page_redirect_namespace_len; ALTER TABLE revision CHANGE rev_id rev_id INTEGER UNSIGNED, DROP INDEX rev_page_id, DROP INDEX rev_timestamp, DROP INDEX page_timestamp, DROP INDEX user_timestamp, DROP INDEX usertext_timestamp, DROP INDEX page_user_timestamp; ALTER TABLE text CHANGE old_id old_id INTEGER UNSIGNED; HERE
 * 1) Setup the db to receive the chunks.

echo 'BEGIN;' > ${DIR_ROOT}/BEGIN echo 'COMMIT;' > ${DIR_ROOT}/COMMIT find ${DIR} -type f | sort -R | xargs -I{} -P${IMPORT_PROCESSES} -t bash -c ' cat ${DIR_ROOT}/BEGIN {} ${DIR_ROOT}/COMMIT | mysql -u root ${DB} && rm {}'
 * 1) Import the chunks
 * 2) Each chunk is wrapped in a transaction and if the import succeeds the chunk is removed from disk.
 * 3) This means you should be able to safely ctrl-c the process at any time and rerun this block and
 * 4) it'll pick up where it left off.  The worst case scenario is you'll get some chunk that was added
 * 5) but not deleted and you'll see mysql duplicate key errors.  Or something like that.  Anyway, if you
 * 6) are reading this you are a big boy and can figure out how clean up the database or remove the file.

mysql -u root ${DB} < 1; UPDATE page, bad_page SET page.page_title = CONCAT(page.page_title, page.page_id) WHERE page.page_namespace = bad_page.page_namespace AND page.page_title = bad_page.page_title; DROP TABLE bad_page; ALTER TABLE page CHANGE page_id page_id INTEGER UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT, ADD UNIQUE INDEX name_title (page_namespace,page_title), ADD INDEX page_random (page_random), ADD INDEX page_len (page_len), ADD INDEX page_redirect_namespace_len (page_is_redirect, page_namespace, page_len); ALTER TABLE revision CHANGE rev_id rev_id INTEGER UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT, ADD UNIQUE INDEX rev_page_id (rev_page, rev_id), ADD INDEX rev_timestamp (rev_timestamp), ADD INDEX page_timestamp (rev_page,rev_timestamp), ADD INDEX user_timestamp (rev_user,rev_timestamp), ADD INDEX usertext_timestamp (rev_user_text,rev_timestamp), ADD INDEX page_user_timestamp (rev_page,rev_user,rev_timestamp); ALTER TABLE text CHANGE old_id old_id INTEGER UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT; HERE
 * 1) Rebuild the DB

cd /srv/mediawiki php maintenance/update.php
 * 1) Run standard post import cleanup
