-----------

metadb : a focus on horizontal scaling. Different databases are not supported by LDP 1.x

LDP Query Builder App. An interface for querying data that are in LDP 1.x or metadb.

LDLite : a python bases client-based implementation of some pieces of LDP. It uses the FOLIO APIs to extract data.

folio-analytics : a repository that contains SQL queries for reporting. Basically created by the FOLIO community Reporting SIG.



L


LDP 1.x runs out of cron to pull data from FOLIO database.

LDP: brute force update. Metadb will support incremental updates.

LDP Query Builder: Build a query without having to run SQL.

Community derived tables : like views; transforms of the data

Database in FOLIO is basically for transaction processing. Usually these are short running queries.

In an analytic database there is a short number of queries which can run for a long time. This is called analytical processing. The long running processes shred the performance of the database. Analytical queries should be routed over to another database, e.g. LDP database.

How much load does the extract put on the FOLIO database ? – not much load

The data transformation happens in the LDP software.

Ian Walls: there is a certain scale under which having both a FOLIO DB and an LDP DB is more overhead than it's worth.  it's a good solution for larger libraries with more transactions, but it's not a one-size-fits-all.

Wayne: Operation of LDP

LDP 1.x requires that all data are in one database.

ldpmarc is not required

folio-analytics: contributed by the comminuty; derived tables

LDP Administration Guide in https://github.com/library-data-platform/ldp/blob/main/docs

postgres 14.2+ recommended

history: version of LDP data from public (schema) tables; created daily; incrementally updated

folio_reporting: derived tables


You need some kind of scheduling service in order to run LDP. The various parts of LDP.

LDP server config: need credentials for the source database and the LDP database

ldpmarc is written in Go. The docker container is also published.

If you use ldpmarc you will basically re-write all your marc storage. So, there is an additional storage requirement.

The initial build can take quite a long time. Ca. 12 h for the initial build for 8.5 bio records.

folio-analytics is hosted in github.com/folio-org/folio-analytics

Derived tables are contained in the subdirectory sql/. Periodic releases related to the LDP versions.

psql runs the scripts.

Tod : Pain Points

Technical needs met when standing up FOLIO installs

  • is this still current
  • it could go beyond standing up an installation => upgrades
  • tease out the concerns
  • prioritize it
  • This has been taken up by the Tech Council => TC goals & objectives
