Lucene Query Tool (lqt)

Fork

Patched to work with CH indexes:

  • lucene 5.2.1
  • includes ChCompressionCodec

Introduction

Lucene Query Tool (lqt) is a command line tool for executing Lucene queries and formatting the results. Luke is a great tool for ad-hoc index inspection, but we were looking for something to help with:

  • scripting and ad-hoc Unix pipelines

  • recording queries and results in bug reports, emails, etc. without the need for screenshots

  • working with non-ASCII characters on remote machines without dealing with X fonts

  • avoiding long Luke startup time for large indexes

Usage

Invoke lqt with the supplied driver script, after compiling the project:

  $ mvn compile
  $ ./lqt
  usage: LuceneQueryTool [options]
      --analyzer <arg>       for query, (KeywordAnalyzer | StandardAnalyzer)
                             (defaults to KeywordAnalyzer)
      --fields <arg>         fields to include in output (defaults to all)
      --format <arg>         output format (multiline | tabular | json |
                             json-pretty) (defaults to multiline)
   -i,--index <arg>          index (required, multiple -i searches multiple
                             indexes)
   -o,--output <arg>         output file (defaults to standard output)
      --output-limit <arg>   max number of docs to output
   -q,--query <arg>          (query | %all | %enumerate-fields |
                             %count-fields | %enumerate-terms field |
                             %script scriptFile | %ids id [id ...] |
                             %id-file file) (required, scriptFile may
                             contain -q and -o)
      --query-field <arg>    default field for query
      --query-limit <arg>    same as --output-limit
      --regex <arg>          filter query by regex, syntax is field:/regex/
      --show-hits            show total hit count
      --show-id              show Lucene document id in results
      --show-score           show score in results
      --sort-fields          sort fields within document
      --suppress-names       suppress printing of field names
      --tabular              print tabular output (requires --fields)

lqt currently targets Lucene 6.1.0, although it may work against indexes built with Lucene 5.x. Lucene started to target Java 1.8 in 6.0.0, so lqt also requires Java 1.8.

Building

  $ git clone [email protected]:joelb-git/lqt.git
  $ cd lqt
  $ mvn compile

Examples

The following examples use an index that contains a large portion of the English and Chinese Wikipedia, used as part of an Entity Resolution system we're developing at Basis Technology.

  • Enumerate the field names
  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q %enumerate-fields
  ...
  c-alias
  c-cluster-id
  c-entity-type
  crossdoc-id
  longest-mention
  ...

  • Count the fields

    For each field, this shows the number of documents where it occurs at least once. Note that an unindexed field will show up with count 0.

  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q %count-fields
  ...
  c-alias: 2992452
  c-cluster-id: 3101383
  c-entity-type: 3101383
  crossdoc-id: 3765425
  longest-mention: 3765425
  ...
  • Count all documents with a c-cluster-id field.
  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q c-cluster-id:/.*/ -show-hits -output-limit 0
  totalHits: 1693260

  • Print all documents

    The special query %all will return all documents. The default format prints fields vertically. Multivalued fields are printed one after another. Tab-separated and json output formats are also supported.

  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q %all | less
  bt_rni_NameHRK_encodedName: STN
  bt_rni_Name_NormalizedData: sutton
  bt_rni_Name_FullnameOverrides: engsutton
  bt_rni_Name_CompletedData: sutton
  bt_rni_Name_TokenOverrides: engsutton
  bt_rni_NameHRK_originalName: Sutton
  bt_rni_NameHRK_keyBigrams: ST TN
  bt_rni_NameHRK_initials: s
  bt_rni_Name_UID:
  bt_rni_Name_Language: eng
  bt_rni_Name_Script: Latn
  bt_rni_Name_LanguageOfOrigin: xxx
  bt_rni_Name_EntityType: 196608
  bt_rni_Name_LatnData: sutton
  bt_rni_Name_TokenSpans: 1 1 0 6
  name-token-count: 1
  doc-id: 221/rlp-processed/en_124868
  doc-language: eng
  indoc-chain-id: 0
  longest-mention: Sutton
  ...
  
  bt_rni_NameHRK_encodedName: KR AJNS
  bt_rni_Name_NormalizedData: crow agency
  bt_rni_Name_FullnameOverrides: engcrow agency
  bt_rni_Name_CompletedData: crow agency
  ...
  • Select specific fields and format as tab-delimited rows
  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q c-cluster-id:/.*/ \
  -fields c-cluster-id c-cluster-label -output-limit 5 -tabular
  c-cluster-id	c-cluster-label
  en_1176874	Dan O'Keeffe
  en_11768762	Ralph Felton
  en_11768767	Greene County-Lewis A. Jackson Regional Airport
  en_11768770	Jimmy Keegan
  en_117688	Ionia Township
  • Count documents by entity-type
  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q entity-type:/.*/ \
  -fields entity-type -tabular -suppress-names \
  | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
   903524 LOCATION
   697399 PERSON
   241269 ORGANIZATION
  • Count Chinese PERSON documents
  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q "entity-type:PERSON && doc-language:zho"
  -show-hits -output-limit 0
  totalHits: 112395
  • Show internal lucene doc id and score
  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index \
  -q c-cluster-label:George \
  -fields c-cluster-id c-cluster-label \
  -output-limit 5 -tabular -show-id -show-score | column -s$'\t' -t
  <id>     <score>            c-cluster-id  c-cluster-label
  1209985  13.30576229095459  en_114019     George
  1265605  13.30576229095459  en_2505331    George
  1290287  13.30576229095459  en_302240     George
  1460699  13.30576229095459  en_2303828    George
  1960718  13.30576229095459  en_13141      George

  • Filter with a complex regex

    -query field:/.../ uses Lucene's built in regular expressions at query time. This uses a very limited regex syntax. -regex field:/.../ applies a full Java regex to each returned document. This is much slower, but it can be useful when you need more powerful regexes. For example, find documents with an ideograph in the longest-mention field:

  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q longest-mention:/.*/ \
  -regex "longest-mention:/.*\p{InCJK_UNIFIED_IDEOGRAPHS}.*/" \
  -fields longest-mention -output-limit 5
  longest-mention: Red Leaves / 紅葉
  
  longest-mention: 努利虫疠霉
  
  longest-mention: 京特・马洛伊达
  
  longest-mention: 盖林卡亚
  
  longest-mention: 东升里

  • Enumerate terms

    Enumerating terms is useful to see values in fields that are not stored. For example, you could use this to show that stopwords are not being indexed or that your analyzer is really doing lowercasing. The number in parentheses is the occurrence count.

  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q %enumerate-terms text-context \
  | grep -i george | head
  contogeorge (1)
  digeorge (1)
  dršgeorge (1)
  fitzgeorge (1)
  george (6390)
  george's (11)
  georgeanna (1)

  • Field validation

    Field names in queries are validated to catch typos.

  $ ./lqt -i /tmp/index -q longest-mentioon:George
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid field names: [longest-mentioon]
  	at com.basistech.lucene.tools.LuceneQueryTool.runQuery(LuceneQueryTool.java:313)
  	at com.basistech.lucene.tools.LuceneQueryTool.run(LuceneQueryTool.java:245)
  	at com.basistech.lucene.tools.LuceneQueryTool.main(LuceneQueryTool.java:597)

  • Search multiple indexes

    Specifying multiple -i arguments will search over multiple indexes.

  $ ./lqt -i en_index -q crossdoc-id:Q2643 \
  -fields doc-language longest-mention -tabular | column -t -s $'\t'
  doc-language  longest-mention
  eng           George Harrison
  
  $ ./lqt -i en_index -i zh_index -q crossdoc-id:Q2643 \
  -fields doc-language longest-mention -tabular | column -t -s $'\t'
  doc-language  longest-mention
  eng           George Harrison
  zho           乔治・哈里森

  • Run multiple queries

    Use a script file to run multiple queries in a single lqt process. A script file can currently contain only -q and -o flags. The -q argument must be a simple query, not a special '%' query.

  $ cat script.txt
  -q crossdoc-id:Q2643 -o out1
  -q crossdoc-id:Q2777013 -o out2
  
  $ ./lqt -i en_index -q %script script.txt -fields longest-mention
  
  $ cat out1
  longest-mention: George Harrison
  
  $ cat out2
  longest-mention: George Costanza
  • JSON-formatted output
  $ ./lqt -i ~/tmp/index -q %all -output-limit 9 \
  -fields crossdoc-id longest-mention mention -format json
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q3108582","longest-mention":"Congenital glaucoma"}
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q1032963","mention":"Joseph Incandela Joseph","longest-mention":"Joseph Incandela"}
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q7397788","longest-mention":"Sadegh Gashni"}
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q4351870","mention":"Daniel","longest-mention":"Debra Daniel"}
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q8077460","longest-mention":"Çaltıbükü"}
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q4833500","longest-mention":"Aşağıkükür"}
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q4708807","longest-mention":"Alataş"}
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q3221270","longest-mention":"Eugenia Hirivskaya"}
  {"crossdoc-id":"Q6181927","mention":["Jeremy Joseph Stevenson","Jeremy","Stevenson","Stevenson"],
   "longest-mention":"Jeremy Stevenson"}
  • JSON with pretty-printing
  $ ./lqt -i ~/tmp/index -q %all -output-limit 9 \
  -fields crossdoc-id longest-mention mention -format json-pretty
  ...
  {
    "crossdoc-id" : "Q3221270",
    "longest-mention" : "Eugenia Hirivskaya"
  }
  {
    "crossdoc-id" : "Q6181927",
    "mention" : [ "Jeremy Joseph Stevenson", "Jeremy", "Stevenson", "Stevenson" ],
    "longest-mention" : "Jeremy Stevenson"
  }

You can post-process json output with jq:

  $ ./lqt -i ~/tmp/index -q %all -output-limit 9 \
  -fields crossdoc-id longest-mention mention -format json | jq .
  ...
  {
    "crossdoc-id": "Q6181927",
    "mention": [
      "Jeremy Joseph Stevenson",
      "Jeremy",
      "Stevenson",
      "Stevenson"
    ],
    "longest-mention": "Jeremy Stevenson"
  }
