Action Management Framework

This module implements the oozie workflow for the integration of pre-built contents into the OpenAIRE Graph.

Such contents can be

  • brand new, non-existing records to be introduced as nodes of the graph
  • updates (or enrichment) for records that does exist in the graph (e.g. a new subject term for a publication)
  • relations among existing nodes

The actionset contents are organised into logical containers, each of them can contain multiple versions contents and is characterised by

  • a name
  • an identifier
  • the paths on HDFS where each version of the contents is stored

Each version is then characterised by

  • the creation date
  • the last update date
  • the indication where it is the latest one or it is an expired version, candidate for garbage collection

ActionSet serialization

Each actionset version contains records compliant to the graph internal data model, i.e. subclasses of eu.dnetlib.dhp.schema.oaf.Oaf, defined in the external schemas module

<dependency>
    <groupId>eu.dnetlib.dhp</groupId>
    <artifactId>${dhp-schemas.artifact}</artifactId>
    <version>${dhp-schemas.version}</version>
</dependency>

When the actionset contains a relationship, the model class to use is eu.dnetlib.dhp.schema.oaf.Relation, otherwise when the actionset contains an entity, it is a eu.dnetlib.dhp.schema.oaf.OafEntity or one of its subclasses Datasource, Organization, Project, Result (or one of its subclasses Publication, Dataset, etc...).

Then, each OpenAIRE Graph model class instance must be wrapped using the class eu.dnetlib.dhp.schema.action.AtomicAction, a generic container that defines two attributes

  • T payload the OpenAIRE Graph class instance containing the data;
  • Class<T> clazz must contain the class whose instance is contained in the payload.

Each AtomicAction can be then serialised in JSON format using com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper from

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>${dhp.jackson.version}</version>
</dependency>

Then, the JSON serialization must be stored as a GZip compressed sequence file (org.apache.hadoop.mapred.SequenceFileOutputFormat). As such, it contains a set of tuples, a key and a value defined as org.apache.hadoop.io.Text where

  • the key must be set to the class canonical name contained in the AtomicAction;
  • the value must be set to the AtomicAction JSON serialization.

The following snippet provides an example of how create an actionset version of Relation records:

  rels // JavaRDD<Relation>
    .map(relation -> new AtomicAction<Relation>(Relation.class, relation))
    .mapToPair(
        aa -> new Tuple2<>(new Text(aa.getClazz().getCanonicalName()),
            new Text(OBJECT_MAPPER.writeValueAsString(aa))))
    .saveAsHadoopFile(outputPath, Text.class, Text.class, SequenceFileOutputFormat.class, GzipCodec.class);
