TODOs

List of TODO in the Music Graph Explorer project, in no order of priority:

1. Create a base GetArtistResponseBase and GetGenreResponseBase class that other response data contract classes can inherit from

2. Speed up search API with a proper index

3. exception processing and return Http Errors in the API webservice

4. ArtistDetail page in website UI - asynchronously load artist, related artists, and images of the related artists

5. Allow testing the website UI against a local API or the prod API, based on configuration setting

6. Develop worker service for all computes, and host them on Azure

7. build an http client to the web service

8. Compute Artist relevance within a Genre.

9. Add Artist relevance within a Genre in the DataAccess.GetArtistForSpotifyId method. This can only be done once we compute Artist relevance within a genre.

10. Add Artist relevance within a Genre in the DataAccess.GetAllArtistsForGenres method. This can only be done once we compute Artist relevance within a genre.

11. Make GraphStore.Write multi-threaded for multi-threaded writes. This may require to make Artist and Genres thread safe and use ConcurrentBag instead of list. In order to do parallel writes, we will need to use multiple instances of dal. Have to decide whether the right architecture is to spin multiple instances of the GraphStore.Write application working of a single queue.

12. Find a way to implement full text search to search artists and genres by name

13. Create test for web service APIs

14. add settings to tests

15. read the list of seed artists from a settings file
