After my last post on the search services, there were lots of questions, so I’ll give some more history on why I’m working on this now:^J</p>^J<ol>^J<li>The old Lucene based search services worked well, but installing them was a major pain. Installing compilers by hand, sacrificing chickens and hoping that things would work wasn’t my idea of fun.</li>^J<li>Lucene has a philosophy of working out of the box without significant tweaks. That’s great if you’re indexing a bunch of text, but indexing music metadata from an SQL database is a bit of a different beast. The usual Lucene tricks didn’t work so well for us, so we couldn’t tweak it to work better for us. <a href="http://xapian.org">Xapian</a> requires a little more tuning out of the box, but our search results are much better now than they were before.</li>^J<li>Sending metadata lookup traffic to a service like Xapian is generally a good idea, as a single Xapian server can handle lookup traffic more elegantly than a Postgres database. And adding more search servers is easier than adding more database servers.</li>^J<li><a href="http://stats.musicbrainz.org/webstats/stimpy/www.musicbrainz.org/">Our traffic is growing</a> — I expect us to handle twice as much traffic in July as we did the July before. A lot of this traffic growth is coming from people using our web-service to look up music. If the web-service slows down, the rest of the site slows down as well. So I’m trying to stay ahead of the curve an anticipate when we reach capacity and be able to add more machines as necessary</li>^J</ol>^J<p>^JAs of next week, MusicBrainz will have twice as much rack-space (20U’s of space!) and we can finally rack the two new servers that were donated a few months ago. Fortunately due to dropping bandwidth costs, this new space doesn’t really come at a greater expense to us — I expect our hosting costs to stay nearly the same as they are now. (about $1000/mo, btw)^J</p>^J<p>^JThis will allow us to have 3 times the search capacity we have now, which should keep the site working for a while longer. In fall I hope to start moving our web-service to Amazon’s EC2 service, which should allow us to get as much capacity as we need.^J</p>^J<p>^JAs soon as I get the new search services deployed I’m putting my head down and coding the next server update. So, keep your fingers crossed that this process goes smoothly.</p>^J^I^I^I^I</div>^J^J^I^I^I^I<p class="postmetadata"> Posted in <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?cat=9" title="View all posts in Picard" rel="category">Picard</a>, <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?cat=3" title="View all posts in Server" rel="category">Server</a> | <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=330#comments" title="Comment on Search: Why is it so important?">3 Comments »</a></p>^J^J^I^I^I</div>^J^J^I^I^I^I<div class="post">^J^I^I^I^I<h3 id="post-327"><a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=327" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Mac OS X Developer for Picard releases wanted">Mac OS X Developer for Picard releases wanted</a></h3>^J^I^I^I^I<small>Tuesday, June 17th, 2008</small>^J^J^I^I^I^I<div class="entry">^J^I^I^I^I^I<p>Its clear that I won’t find the time to package up Picard for OS X anytime soon.

For some users it works great, for others it crashes every 30 seconds, and yet its stable for Lukas who is working on Picard the most. This makes using Picard very difficult and even harder to convince our users who love the track based Classic Tagger to move to Picard.^J</p>^J<p>^JGiven this, we plan to do the following:^J</p>^J<ol>^J<li>Extend the end-of-life deadline for TRM until the end of 2006.</li>^J<li>Migrate Picard away from wxWindows and start using the Python bindings for the QT toolkit.</li>^J<li>Revamp the user interface in Picard to support both track based tagging and album based tagging.</li>^J<li>Make the Picard user interface easier to use for new users and offer methods other than drag and drop to tag files.</li>^J</ol>^J<p>^JWe hope to complete all of this before the end of the year. But, should we not make that deadline, we’ll extend it again until most everyone feels that Picard has replaced the Classic Tagger. The key metric for turning off the TRM server is to watch the traffic to the TRM server slow to a near crawl so that when we do turn it off that only stragglers will be affected.^J</p>^J<p>^JTobias RundstrM-CM-6m has volunteered to work on a UI mock-up of the new Picard UI that will be based on our <a href="http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/IntuitivePicardInterface">Picard user interface brainstorming</a>. Once he has done that we’ll post screenshots or maybe even an application for people to look at and give us feedback on.^J</p>^J<p>^JFinally, the switch to QT will also have positive benefits for Picard on Mac OS X. The QT toolkit is considerably more stable on the Mac than wxWindows and that will enable us to finally roll out a Mac OS X version of the tagger. I understand that there is frustration about the lack of a tagger on OS X — <a href="http://ijsm.org/archives/2006/07/17/musicbrainz-mac-client-bounty/">Geof Morris has now even offered up a bounty for someone to develop a new UI for Picard for the Mac</a>. But, there isn’t anything we can do for a few months — please sit tight.

After my last post on the search services, there were lots of questions, so I’ll give some more history on why I’m working on this now:^J</p>^J<ol>^J<li>The old Lucene based search services worked well, but installing them was a major pain. Installing compilers by hand, sacrificing chickens and hoping that things would work wasn’t my idea of fun.</li>^J<li>Lucene has a philosophy of working out of the box without significant tweaks. That’s great if you’re indexing a bunch of text, but indexing music metadata from an SQL database is a bit of a different beast. The usual Lucene tricks didn’t work so well for us, so we couldn’t tweak it to work better for us. <a href="http://xapian.org">Xapian</a> requires a little more tuning out of the box, but our search results are much better now than they were before.</li>^J<li>Sending metadata lookup traffic to a service like Xapian is generally a good idea, as a single Xapian server can handle lookup traffic more elegantly than a Postgres database. And adding more search servers is easier than adding more database servers.</li>^J<li><a href="http://stats.musicbrainz.org/webstats/stimpy/www.musicbrainz.org/">Our traffic is growing</a> — I expect us to handle twice as much traffic in July as we did the July before. A lot of this traffic growth is coming from people using our web-service to look up music. If the web-service slows down, the rest of the site slows down as well. So I’m trying to stay ahead of the curve an anticipate when we reach capacity and be able to add more machines as necessary</li>^J</ol>^J<p>^JAs of next week, MusicBrainz will have twice as much rack-space (20U’s of space!) and we can finally rack the two new servers that were donated a few months ago. Fortunately due to dropping bandwidth costs, this new space doesn’t really come at a greater expense to us — I expect our hosting costs to stay nearly the same as they are now. (about $1000/mo, btw)^J</p>^J<p>^JThis will allow us to have 3 times the search capacity we have now, which should keep the site working for a while longer. In fall I hope to start moving our web-service to Amazon’s EC2 service, which should allow us to get as much capacity as we need.^J</p>^J<p>^JAs soon as I get the new search services deployed I’m putting my head down and coding the next server update. So, keep your fingers crossed that this process goes smoothly.</p>^J^I^I^I^I</div>^J^J^I^I^I^I<p class="postmetadata"> Posted in <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?cat=9" title="View all posts in Picard" rel="category">Picard</a>, <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?cat=3" title="View all posts in Server" rel="category">Server</a> | <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=330#comments" title="Comment on Search: Why is it so important?">3 Comments »</a></p>^J^J^I^I^I</div>^J^J^I^I^I^I<div class="post">^J^I^I^I^I<h3 id="post-327"><a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=327" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Mac OS X Developer for Picard releases wanted">Mac OS X Developer for Picard releases wanted</a></h3>^J^I^I^I^I<small>Tuesday, June 17th, 2008</small>^J^J^I^I^I^I<div class="entry">^J^I^I^I^I^I<p>Its clear that I won’t find the time to package up Picard for OS X anytime soon.

For some users it works great, for others it crashes every 30 seconds, and yet its stable for Lukas who is working on Picard the most. This makes using Picard very difficult and even harder to convince our users who love the track based Classic Tagger to move to Picard.^J</p>^J<p>^JGiven this, we plan to do the following:^J</p>^J<ol>^J<li>Extend the end-of-life deadline for TRM until the end of 2006.</li>^J<li>Migrate Picard away from wxWindows and start using the Python bindings for the QT toolkit.</li>^J<li>Revamp the user interface in Picard to support both track based tagging and album based tagging.</li>^J<li>Make the Picard user interface easier to use for new users and offer methods other than drag and drop to tag files.</li>^J</ol>^J<p>^JWe hope to complete all of this before the end of the year. But, should we not make that deadline, we’ll extend it again until most everyone feels that Picard has replaced the Classic Tagger. The key metric for turning off the TRM server is to watch the traffic to the TRM server slow to a near crawl so that when we do turn it off that only stragglers will be affected.^J</p>^J<p>^JTobias RundstrM-CM-6m has volunteered to work on a UI mock-up of the new Picard UI that will be based on our <a href="http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/IntuitivePicardInterface">Picard user interface brainstorming</a>. Once he has done that we’ll post screenshots or maybe even an application for people to look at and give us feedback on.^J</p>^J<p>^JFinally, the switch to QT will also have positive benefits for Picard on Mac OS X. The QT toolkit is considerably more stable on the Mac than wxWindows and that will enable us to finally roll out a Mac OS X version of the tagger. I understand that there is frustration about the lack of a tagger on OS X — <a href="http://ijsm.org/archives/2006/07/17/musicbrainz-mac-client-bounty/">Geof Morris has now even offered up a bounty for someone to develop a new UI for Picard for the Mac</a>. But, there isn’t anything we can do for a few months — please sit tight.

After my last post on the search services, there were lots of questions, so I’ll give some more history on why I’m working on this now:^J</p>^J<ol>^J<li>The old Lucene based search services worked well, but installing them was a major pain. Installing compilers by hand, sacrificing chickens and hoping that things would work wasn’t my idea of fun.</li>^J<li>Lucene has a philosophy of working out of the box without significant tweaks. That’s great if you’re indexing a bunch of text, but indexing music metadata from an SQL database is a bit of a different beast. The usual Lucene tricks didn’t work so well for us, so we couldn’t tweak it to work better for us. <a href="http://xapian.org">Xapian</a> requires a little more tuning out of the box, but our search results are much better now than they were before.</li>^J<li>Sending metadata lookup traffic to a service like Xapian is generally a good idea, as a single Xapian server can handle lookup traffic more elegantly than a Postgres database. And adding more search servers is easier than adding more database servers.</li>^J<li><a href="http://stats.musicbrainz.org/webstats/stimpy/www.musicbrainz.org/">Our traffic is growing</a> — I expect us to handle twice as much traffic in July as we did the July before. A lot of this traffic growth is coming from people using our web-service to look up music. If the web-service slows down, the rest of the site slows down as well. So I’m trying to stay ahead of the curve an anticipate when we reach capacity and be able to add more machines as necessary</li>^J</ol>^J<p>^JAs of next week, MusicBrainz will have twice as much rack-space (20U’s of space!) and we can finally rack the two new servers that were donated a few months ago. Fortunately due to dropping bandwidth costs, this new space doesn’t really come at a greater expense to us — I expect our hosting costs to stay nearly the same as they are now. (about $1000/mo, btw)^J</p>^J<p>^JThis will allow us to have 3 times the search capacity we have now, which should keep the site working for a while longer. In fall I hope to start moving our web-service to Amazon’s EC2 service, which should allow us to get as much capacity as we need.^J</p>^J<p>^JAs soon as I get the new search services deployed I’m putting my head down and coding the next server update. So, keep your fingers crossed that this process goes smoothly.</p>^J^I^I^I^I</div>^J^J^I^I^I^I<p class="postmetadata"> Posted in <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?cat=9" title="View all posts in Picard" rel="category">Picard</a>, <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?cat=3" title="View all posts in Server" rel="category">Server</a> | <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=330#comments" title="Comment on Search: Why is it so important?">3 Comments »</a></p>^J^J^I^I^I</div>^J^J^I^I^I^I<div class="post">^J^I^I^I^I<h3 id="post-327"><a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=327" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Mac OS X Developer for Picard releases wanted">Mac OS X Developer for Picard releases wanted</a></h3>^J^I^I^I^I<small>Tuesday, June 17th, 2008</small>^J^J^I^I^I^I<div class="entry">^J^I^I^I^I^I<p>Its clear that I won’t find the time to package up Picard for OS X anytime soon.

For some users it works great, for others it crashes every 30 seconds, and yet its stable for Lukas who is working on Picard the most. This makes using Picard very difficult and even harder to convince our users who love the track based Classic Tagger to move to Picard.^J</p>^J<p>^JGiven this, we plan to do the following:^J</p>^J<ol>^J<li>Extend the end-of-life deadline for TRM until the end of 2006.</li>^J<li>Migrate Picard away from wxWindows and start using the Python bindings for the QT toolkit.</li>^J<li>Revamp the user interface in Picard to support both track based tagging and album based tagging.</li>^J<li>Make the Picard user interface easier to use for new users and offer methods other than drag and drop to tag files.</li>^J</ol>^J<p>^JWe hope to complete all of this before the end of the year. But, should we not make that deadline, we’ll extend it again until most everyone feels that Picard has replaced the Classic Tagger. The key metric for turning off the TRM server is to watch the traffic to the TRM server slow to a near crawl so that when we do turn it off that only stragglers will be affected.^J</p>^J<p>^JTobias RundstrM-CM-6m has volunteered to work on a UI mock-up of the new Picard UI that will be based on our <a href="http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/IntuitivePicardInterface">Picard user interface brainstorming</a>. Once he has done that we’ll post screenshots or maybe even an application for people to look at and give us feedback on.^J</p>^J<p>^JFinally, the switch to QT will also have positive benefits for Picard on Mac OS X. The QT toolkit is considerably more stable on the Mac than wxWindows and that will enable us to finally roll out a Mac OS X version of the tagger. I understand that there is frustration about the lack of a tagger on OS X — <a href="http://ijsm.org/archives/2006/07/17/musicbrainz-mac-client-bounty/">Geof Morris has now even offered up a bounty for someone to develop a new UI for Picard for the Mac</a>. But, there isn’t anything we can do for a few months — please sit tight. We’re aware of the situation and are as unhappy about it as you are!^J</p>^J<p><!-- technorati tags start -->^J<p style="text-align:right;font-size:10px;">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/picard" rel="tag">picard</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/musicbrainz" rel="tag">musicbrainz</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/trm" rel="tag">trm</a></p>^J<p><!-- technorati tags end --></p>^J^I^I^I^I</div>^J^J^I^I^I^I<p class="postmetadata"> Posted in <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?cat=10" title="View all posts in General" rel="category">General</a>, <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?cat=9" title="View all posts in Picard" rel="category">Picard</a> | <a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=187#comments" title="Comment on TRM, Picard and Picard on OS X">7 Comments »</a></p>^J^J^I^I^I</div>^J^J^I^I^I^I<div class="post">^J^I^I^I^I<h3 id="post-182"><a href="http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=182" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Picard 0.7.0 released">Picard 0.7.0 released</a></h3>^J^I^I^I^I<small>Monday, July 3rd, 2006</small>^J^J^I^I^I^I<div class="entry">^J^I^I^I^I^I<p>^JLukas finished the final round of bug reports in Picard and prepared the 0.7.0 final release.
