jwatr : Tools to Query and Create Web Archive Files Using the Java Web Archive Toolkit

The Java Web Archive Toolkit ('JWAT') https://sbforge.org/display/JWAT/Overview is a library of Java objects and methods which enables reading, writing and validating web archive files.

WIP!!! Reading & writing need some optimization and edge case checking. There's also a chance I'll change the name to warc but some folks are using that package now and I dinna want to cause pain there yet.

The following functions are implemented:

Reading

Writing

httr Wrappers

Utility

NOTE: To read in typical (~800MB-1GB gzip'd WARC files) you should consider doing the following (in order) in your scripts:

options(java.parameters = "-Xmx2g")

library(rJava)
library(jwatjars)
library(jwatr)

That idiom generally provides enough heap space, but you may need to adjust the heap size if you've got larger payloads.

Alternatively, you can set the same option in your R startup scripts, but that will likely come back to bite you when moving workloads around.

Installation

Streaming

The warc_stream_in() function provides a pure-R method for stream processing WARC files through the use of an R callback handler. One way of using this is to build a data frame. The following example builds a data frame of WARC response records. Space is reserved for a 10,000-element list which will get truncated or expanded as necessary:

xdf <- list(10000)
xdf_i <- 0

myfun <- function(headers, payload, ...) {
  headers <- setNames(headers, gsub("-", "_", names(headers)))
  xdf_i <<- xdf_i + 1
  headers$payload <- list(payload)
  xdf[xdf_i] <<- list(headers)
}

(n <- warc_stream_in(
  system.file("extdata/sample.warc.gz", package="jwatr"),
  myfun,
  warc_types = "response"
))
