Manual:MWDumper/pl

From mediawiki.org
This page is a translated version of the page Manual:MWDumper and the translation is 1% complete.
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.

While this can be used to import XML dumps into a MediaWiki database, it might not be the best choice for small imports (say, 100 pages or less). See Manual:Importing XML dumps for an overview.

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 source. (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/

Usage

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: USE wikidb; TRUNCATE TABLE page; TRUNCATE TABLE text; TRUNCATE TABLE revision; TRUNCATE TABLE redirect;
  • In maintenance directory: php rebuildall.php

Import dump files with MWDumper

Sample command line for a direct database import:

  java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.25 pages_full.xml.bz2 |
    mysql -u <username> -p <databasename>

or

  cd mwdumper/src
  javac org/mediawiki/dumper/Dumper.java
  cd ..
  java -classpath ./src org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper --format=sql:1.25 pages_full.xml.bz2 |
    mysql -u <username> -p <databasename>

Note: javac org/mediawiki/dumper/Dumper.java will throw errors and this will have to be debugged
     ./org/mediawiki/dumper/filters/predicates/AdHocListFilter.java:5: error: 
     package com.google.common.base does not exist
     import com.google.common.base.Splitter;
 
A third party developer has added features to output in a tab delimited format for processing large dumps. The compiled version is mwdumper.jar and the code for the project is mwdumper. To use the update you have to specify a separate output file for pages since you don't want to have the two tab delimited output files dumped together. This was done specifically for processing the large Wikipedia Dumps using Hadoop. Usage is shown below:
cat train.xml | java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=flatfile:pages_output_file.txt - --quiet > train.txt

Hint: The tables page, revision, text must be empty for a successful import.

This command will keep going even if MySQL reports an error. This is probably not what you want - if you use the direct connection to MySQL, the import will stop when errors occur.
If you nohup a mwdumper command, be sure to use the --quiet option.

A note on character encoding

Make sure the database is expecting utf8-encoded text. If the database is expecting latin1 encoded text (which MySQL does by default), you'll get invalid characters in your tables if you use the output of mwdumper directly. One way to do this is to pass --default-character-set=utf8 to MySQL in the above sample command.

If you want to use the output of mwdumper in a JDBC URL, you should use set characterEncoding=utf8 in the query string.

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

Complex filtering

You can also do complex filtering to produce multiple output files:

  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

A bare parameter will be interpreted as a file to read XML input from; if "-" or none is given, input will be read from stdin. Input files with ".gz" or ".bz2" extensions will be decompressed as gzip and bzip2 streams, respectively.

Internal decompression of 7-zip .7z files is not yet supported; you can pipe such files through p7zip's 7za:

  7za e -so pages_full.xml.7z |
    java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.25 |
    mysql -u <username> -p <databasename>

Defaults if no parameters are given:

  • read uncompressed XML from stdin
  • write uncompressed XML to stdout
  • no filtering


Output sinks

--output=stdout Send uncompressed XML or SQL output to stdout for piping.

(May have charset issues.) This is the default if no output is specified.

--output=file:<filename.xml> Write uncompressed output to a file.
--output=gzip:<filename.xml.gz> Write compressed output to a file.
--output=bzip2:<filename.xml.bz2> Write compressed output to a file.
--output=mysql:<jdbc url> Valid only for SQL format output; opens a connection to the MySQL server and sends commands to it directly.

This will look something like:
mysql://localhost/databasename?user=<username>&password=<password>

Output formats

  --format=xml
      Output back to MediaWiki's XML export format; use this for filtering dumps for limited import. Output should be idempotent.
  --format=sql:1.4
      SQL statements formatted for bulk import in MediaWiki 1.4's schema.
  --format=sql:1.5
      SQL statements formatted for bulk import in MediaWiki 1.5's schema.
      Both SQL schema versions currently require that the table structure be already set up in an empty database; use maintenance/tables.sql from the MediaWiki distribution.
  --format=sql:1.25
     SQL statements formatted for bulk import in MediaWiki 1.25's schema.

Filter actions

  --filter=latest
      Skips all but the last revision listed for each page.
      FIXME: currently this pays no attention to the timestamp or
      revision number, but simply the order of items in the dump.
      This may or may not be strictly correct.
  --filter=list:<list-filename>
      Excludes all pages whose titles do not appear in the given file.
      Use one title per line; blanks and lines starting with # are
      ignored. Talk and subject pages of given titles are both matched.
  --filter=exactlist:<list-filename>
      As above, but does not try to match associated talk/subject pages.
  --filter=namespace:[!]<NS_KEY,NS_OTHERKEY,100,...>
      Includes only pages in (or not in, with "!") the given namespaces.
      You can use the NS_* constant names or the raw numeric keys.
  --filter=notalk
      Excludes all talk pages from output (including custom namespaces)
  --filter=titlematch:<regex>
      Excludes all pages whose titles do not match the regex.

Misc options

  --progress=<n>
      Change progress reporting interval from the default 1000 revisions.
  --quiet
      Don't send any progress output to stderr. Recommended when running under nohup.

Direct connection to MySQL

Example of using mwdumper with a direct connection to MySQL

java -server -classpath mysql-connector-java-3.1.11/mysql-connector-java-3.1.11-bin.jar:mwdumper.jar \
   org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper --output=mysql://127.0.0.1/testwiki?user=wiki\&password=wiki \
   --format=sql:1.25 20051020_pages_articles.xml.bz2
* You will need the mysql-connector JDBC driver. On Ubuntu this comes in package libmysql-java and is installed at /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar.
  • 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=<username>&password=<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.

#It still reports a problem with the import files, "duplicate key"...
  1. 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.

  1. Remove indexes:
  2. Remove primary keys: In MySQL execute:
    • alter table revision drop primary key;
    • alter table text drop primary key;
    • alter table page drop primary key;
  3. Remove auto increment fields: In MySQL execute:
    • alter table revision change rev_id rev_id int(10) unsigned not null;
    • alter table text change old_id old_id int(10) unsigned not null;
    • alter table page change page_id page_id int(10) unsigned not null;
It will take a long time to recreate all the removed data.

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:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_bin';

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 mwdumper gives java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid contributor exception, see zadanie T20328.

If it gives java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space exception, run it with larger heap size, for example java -Xms128m -Xmx1000m -jar mwdumper.jar ... (first is starting, second maximum size) (zadanie T23937)

If an error is thrown with a reference to page_counter being missing, use the --format=sql:1.25 parameter. Alternatively, you can create a page_counter column on the page 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 populateRevisionSha1.php afterwards.

How to build MWDumper from source

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

git clone https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MWDU/mwdumper.git
cd mwdumper
mvn compile
mvn package

It should generate the mwdumper<version number>.jar file (for example mwdumper-1.25.jar) on the folder named target.

Note that usage examples on this page use class=mwdumper.jar, so you should either rename the file to mwdumper.jar, or use class=mwdumper-1.25.jar instead.

Alternate method of loading a huge wiki

Wersja MediaWiki:
1.32
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.

Uwaga Uwaga: Those commands drop several indices and then re-adds them again after the import. However, the index definition is from a specific MediaWiki version, which may not match your current version of MediaWiki. Use this method if you know what are you doing, and check if index definitions are correct.
