This is a tool to setup a big database and Apache Lucene index to load test some index usage. In particular, we aim to provide reproducible load tests for: * Hibernate Search - http://search.hibernate.org/ * Infinispan's distributed Lucene Directory implementation - http://infinispan.org/ - http://community.jboss.org/wiki/infinispanasadirectoryforlucene As a source of documents to index we use a specific dump of the Wikipedia database. 1 - Setup a MySQL database, create users: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html And create database: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-database.html 2 - Modify db.properties file changing jdbc.schemaname, jdbc.username and jdbc.password with database name, user and password respectively. The build.xml ant file has the following main tasks: 1 - have-empty-schema: it drops all the database tables and recreates them. 2 - download-wikipedia: it downloads the reference wikipedia dump, containing only last version of each article, in English only: http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20101011/pages-meta-current.xml.bz2 [WARNING! 12GB sized download] 3 - import-wikipedia: it executes data import downloading and running mwdumper.jar (described on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MWDumper) able to load efficiently large amount of data. 4 - run-indexing: it creates Apache Lucene index from database content using hibernate-search library. 5 - create-hibernate-config: it creates hibernate.cfg.xml and hibernatesearch-infinispan.cfg.xml configuration files using the content of db.properties file. 6 - clean: it cleans the environment. In particular it deletes the reference wikipedia dump and mwdumper.jar library and get and apply the database schema. Before to do this, it asks confirmation to the user. If you do not want to be asked for confirmation, you have to add 'database.autoclenaup=n' property to db.properties file.
