Converter

Converter is a tool allowing to convert different kind of document format to one compliant with tkeir tools. This tools is a rest service.

Converter API

This API is also available via the service itself on /\:\/swagger

Converter configuration

Example of Configuration:

converter.json
{
    "logger": {
        "logging-level": "{{ project.loglevel }}"
    },
    "converter": {
        "settings": {
            "tika":{
                "host":"localhost",
                "port":9998,
                "associate-environment": {
                    "host":"TIKA_HOST",
                    "port":"TIKA_PORT"
                }
            },
            "output":{
                "zip":true
            }
        },
        "network": {
            "host":"0.0.0.0",
            "port":10000,
            "associate-environment": {
                "host":"CONVERTER_HOST",
                "port":"CONVERTER_PORT"
            }
        },
        "runtime":{
            "request-max-size":100000000,
            "request-buffer-queue-size":100,
            "keep-alive":true,
            "keep-alive-timeout":5,
            "graceful-shutown-timeout":15.0,
            "request-timeout":60,
            "response-timeout":60,
            "workers":1
        }        
    }
}

Converter is an aggreation of network configuration, serialize configuration, runtime configuration (in field converter), logger (at top level).

Configure converter logger

Logger is configuration at top level of json in logger field.

Example of Configuration:

logger configuration
{
    "logger": {
        "logging-level": "debug"
    }    
}

The logger fields is:

  • logging-level

It can be set to the following values:

  • debug for the debug level and developper information
  • info for the level of information
  • warning to display only warning and errors
  • error to display only error
  • critical to display only error

Configure converter Network

Example of Configuration:

network configuration
{
    "network": {
        "host":"0.0.0.0",
        "port":8080,
        "associate-environment": {
            "host":"HOST_ENVNAME",
            "port":"PORT_ENVNAME"
        },
        "ssl":
        {
            "certificate":"path/to/certificate",
            "key":"path/to/key"
        }
    }
}

The network fields:

  • host : hostname

  • port : port of the service

  • associated-environement : is the "host" and "port" associated environment variables that allows to replace the default one. This field is not mandatory.

  • "host" : associated "host" environment variable

  • "port" : associated "port" environment variable

  • ssl : ssl configuration IN PRODUCTION IT IS MANDATORY TO USE CERTIFICATE AND KEY THAT ARE *NOT* SELF SIGNED

  • cert : certificate file

  • key : key file

Configure converter runtime

Example of Configuration:

network configuration
{
    "runtime":{
        "request-max-size":100000000,
        "request-buffer-queue-size":100,
        "keep-alive":true,
        "keep-alive-timeout":5,
        "graceful-shutown-timeout":15.0,
        "request-timeout":60,
        "response-timeout":60,
        "workers":1
    }    
}

The Runtime fields:

  • request-max-size : how big a request may be (bytes)

  • request-buffer-queue-size: request streaming buffer queue size

  • request-timeout : how long a request can take to arrive (sec)

  • response-timeout : how long a response can take to process (sec)

  • keep-alive: keep-alive

  • keep-alive-timeout: how long to hold a TCP connection open (sec)

  • graceful-shutdown_timeout : how long to wait to force close non-idle connection (sec)

  • workers : number of workers for the service on a node

  • associated-environement : if one of previous field is on the associated environment variables that allows to replace the default one. This field is not mandatory.

  • request-max-size : overwrite with environement variable

  • request-buffer-queue-size: overwrite with environement variable
  • request-timeout : overwrite with environement variable
  • response-timeout : overwrite with environement variable
  • keep-alive: overwrite with environement variable
  • keep-alive-timeout: overwrite with environement variable
  • graceful-shutdown_timeout : overwrite with environement variable
  • workers : overwrite with environement variable

Converter service

The available input format are:

  • raw : a raw text format
  • email : a mail format

To run the command type simply from tkeir directory:

python3 thot/converter_svc.py --config=/home/tkeir_svc/tkeir/configs/default/configs/converter.json

or if you install tkeir wheel:

tkeir-converter-svc --config=/home/tkeir_svc/tkeir/configs/default/configs/converter.json

A light client can be run through the command

python3 thot/converter_client.py -c /home/tkeir_svc/tkeir/configs/default/configs/converter.json -t email -i /home/tkeir_svc/tkeir/thot/tests/data/test-raw/mail -o /home/tkeir_svc/tkeir/thot/tests/data/test-inputs/

or if you install tkeir wheel:

tkeir-converter-client  -c /home/tkeir_svc/tkeir/configs/default/configs/converter.json -t email -i /home/tkeir_svc/tkeir/thot/tests/data/test-raw/mail -o /home/tkeir_svc/tkeir/thot/tests/data/test-inputs/

Converter Tests

The converter service come with unit and functional testing.

Converter Unit tests

Unittest allows to test Converters classes only.

python3 -m unittest thot/tests/unittests/TestConverterConfiguration.py
python3 -m unittest thot/tests/unittests/TestConverter.py
python3 -m unittest thot/tests/unittests/TestEmailConverter.py
python3 -m unittest thot/tests/unittests/TestRawConverter.py
python3 -m unittest thot/tests/unittests/TestURIConverter.py

Converter Functional tests

python3 -m unittest thot/tests/functional_tests/TestConverterSvc.py
