Introduction

mod-lists is responsible for persisting the metadata and the contents (IDs) of lists.

Architecture

The "mod-lists" module is responsible for handling lists within the system. It provides a set of REST endpoints that enable users to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on lists. To efficiently query the data, the module leverages the "lib-fqm-query-processor" library, which streamlines the process of querying the underlying data storage, such as a database or file system.

Compiling

mvn clean install

Environment Variables

Name	Default Value	Description
DB_HOST	localhost	Postgres hostname
DB_PORT	5432	Postgres port
DB_USERNAME	postgres	Postgres username
DB_PASSWORD	postgres	Postgres password
DB_DATABASE	postgres	Postgres database name
server.port	8081	Server port
MAX_LIST_SIZE	1250000	max size of each list
LIST_EXPORT_BATCH_SIZE	1000	batch size for exports
LIST_APP_S3_BUCKET	list-exports-us-west-2	Name of the S3 bucket for exports
AWS_REGION	us-west-2	region of the S3 bucket
AWS_URL	https://s3.amazonaws.com	end point for the S3 bucket
USE_AWS_SDK	false	Use the AWS SDK for S3 access
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID	-	access key for the S3 bucket
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY	-	secret key for the S3 bucket
mod-lists.list-export.s3-startup-check.enabled	true	Verify that S3/MinIO is accessible on startup
spring.task.execution.pool.max-size	10	refresh/export thread pool's max size
mod-lists.general.refresh-query-timeout-minutes	90	Max time to wait for an FQL query to run during a list refresh

Note on CSV storage: MinIO remote storage or Amazon S3 can be used as storage for generated CSV files. The storage is selected by specifying the url of S3-compatible storage by using ENV variable AWS_URL. USE_AWS_SDK is used to specify client to communicate with storage. It requires true in case if S3 usage or false in case if MinIO usage. By default it equals to false. In addition, the following ENV variables can be specified: AWS_REGION, LIST_APP_AWS_BUCKET, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. By default, the module will attempt to uploaded and delete a small file to S3/MinIO on startup, to verify that the service is reachable. This check can be disabled by setting mod-lists.list-export.s3-startup-check.enabled to false.

Installing the module

Follow the guide of Deploying Modules sections of the Okapi Guide and Reference, which describe the process in detail.

First of all you need a running Okapi instance. (Note that specifying an explicit 'okapiurl' might be needed.)

   cd .../okapi
   java -jar okapi-core/target/okapi-core-fat.jar dev

We need to declare the module to Okapi:

  curl -w '\n' -X POST -D -   \
   -H "Content-type: application/json"   \
   -d @target/ModuleDescriptor.json \
   http://localhost:9130/_/proxy/modules

That ModuleDescriptor tells Okapi what the module is called, what services it provides, and how to deploy it.

Deploying the module

Next we need to deploy the module. There is a deployment descriptor in target/DeploymentDescriptor.json. It tells Okapi to start the module on 'localhost'.

Deploy it via Okapi discovery:

   curl -w '\n' -D - -s \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-type: application/json" \
  -d @target/DeploymentDescriptor.json  \
  http://localhost:9130/_/discovery/modules

Then we need to enable the module for the tenant:

  curl -w '\n' -X POST -D -   \
    -H "Content-type: application/json"   \
    -d @target/TenantModuleDescriptor.json \
    http://localhost:9130/_/proxy/tenants/<tenant_name>/modules

Interacting with list-app

Note: This may become outdated and that the source of record for the API is src/main/resources/swagger.api/list.yaml
