The Asagi Imageboard Archival Standard was developed by eksopl of Easymodo and the Foolz team under the direction of woxxy. It was developed to run the Foolz archiver, and has been the engine for the majority of archivers since the collapse of Archive.moe.

== SQL Schema ==
Three versions can be identified:


Two versions of the SQL Schema in use can be identified:
* Mark I (2009) - Produced for Foolz.us. Maybe in use by Nyafuu, was in use by Loveisover.
 
* Mark II (2015) - Produced for Archive.moe. Used by Fireden and arch.b4k.co.
* 1.0.0 (2013) - The final version by Eksopl for Foolz.us, and the SQL schema was unchanged in Archive.moe.
* Mark III (2019) - The final reference standard codified by the Bibliotheca Anonoma, in preparation for the development of new drop-in replacements.
** Should be used by Fireden, but this is unknown.
** Might be still used by Nyafuu, was in use by Loveisover.
* 1.3.0 (2019) - (only Mysql/triggers.sql was changed, no other structural SQL schema changes) The final reference standard consolidated from 4plebs repos by the Bibliotheca Anonoma for use in Desuarchive, in preparation for the development of new drop-in replacements.
** Used by Desuarchive, Rbt, arch.b4k.co, maybe 4plebs?
 
A refined version 2.0.0 is proposed that would eliminate SQL triggers for improved performance, instead leaving it up to the scraper engines to conduct similar operations as the triggers.

== Misc ==


Seperate thread for (thumbs, media, topic-fetch, topic-insert, post-delete) per board
For each post in the decoded thread JSON:


AbstractDumper.java ln. 95: <code>public void initDumper(BoardSettings boardSettings) {</code>
Check if resto value is zero, and if so create a new thread from that post, updating lastmodified time to the time from fetching the JSON.
`t = this.makeThreadFromJson(pj);`


== How Asagi decides to update a thread: ==
If resto is zero: Add the post to the current thread.


In <code>initDumper()</code>, <code>DumperJSON</code> spawns an instance of its inner class <code>BoardPoller</code> on a thread. In its <code>run()</code> method, <code>BoardPoller</code> loops indefinitely:
`t.addPost(this.makePostFromJson(pj));`
(What if two posts were resto==0? We’d break!)


* Wake up from sleeping (duration set by <code>refreshDelay</code> in the configuration)
=== Files ===
* <code>threadList = sourceBoard.getAllThreads(lastMod);</code>
* If the request 304s or errors, go to sleep
* Go over the previous threads:
** If this thread is in the current threads and it’s been modified, mark its modification timestamp and page number. Then, push it to <code>newTopics</code>.
** If this thread is not in the current threads, it’s been deleted. Push it to <code>newTopics</code>.
* Put the remaining threads in newTopics
* Sleep until the delay expires


The queue <code>newTopics</code> is processed by <code>AbstractDumper</code>’s inner class <code>TopicFetcher</code>.
first 4chan timestamp filename seen is recorded to the sql database with md5sum as unique key?


== When Asagi does a thread update: ==
all future images with that md5sum are then linked to that timestamp filename


in : YotsubaJSON.java, ln. 88: <code>public Topic getThread(int threadNum, String lastMod) throws ContentGetException, ContentParseException, CfBicClearParseException {</code>
directory format does the following subfolders based on first few numbers to cut down on amount of files in a single directory (overloads filesystem)


Loads thread JSON Decodes JSON For each post in the decoded thread JSON: Check if resto value is zero, and if so create a new thread from that post, updating lastmodified time to the time from fetching the JSON. <code>t = this.makeThreadFromJson(pj);</code> If resto is zero: Add the post to the current thread. <code>t.addPost(this.makePostFromJson(pj));</code> (What if two posts were resto==0? We’d break!)

== What does Asagi do with a post in a thread? ==
=== Time ===


Relevant files: &gt;YousubaJSON.java &gt;YotsubaAbstract.java
eastern time is used due to scraping


The entire thread is processed at once.
=== MySQL Schema ===


=== For OP: ===
see asagi source code


In YousubaJSON.java, ln. 217: <code>private Topic makeThreadFromJson(PostJson pj) throws ContentParseException {</code>
foolfuuka also adds tables so dont forget when building


Ensure post number is zero. Create a new Topic() object (ln222): <code>Topic t = new Topic(pj.getNo(), pj.getOmittedPosts(), pj.getOmittedImages());</code>
=== API Schema ===


Add the supplied OP to the thread as any other would be (ln. 224): <code>t.addPost(this.makePostFromJson(pj));</code>
= Ayase Imageboard Archival Standard (Ayase) =


Return the Thread() object. DONE
The Ayase Imageboard Archival Standard was produced by the Bibliotheca Anonoma to handle the ever growing operations of Desuarchive and RebeccaBlackTech.


=== For reply: ===
== Reference Implementation ==
 
In YotsubaJSON.java, (ln. 157:) <code>private Post makePostFromJson(PostJson pj) throws ContentParseException {</code>
 
Ensure post number is valid. Ensure time is valid. Create new Post() object.
 
If the JSON gave a filename not equal to null: Generate filename from JSON values. <code>p.setMediaFilename(pj.getFilename() + pj.getExt());</code>
 
Generate original filename from JSON values. <code>p.setMediaOrig(pj.getTim() + pj.getExt());</code>
 
Generate preview original filename from JSON values. <code>p.setPreviewOrig(pj.getTim() + &quot;s.jpg&quot;);</code>
 
Find the post’s capcode, and if not null: Manager -&gt; “G” Anything else: first character as uppercase.
 
Find the post hash (tripcode?) If the post hash is “Developer”, set the post hash value to “Dev”
 
If the post country is not null: Convert values “XX” or “A1” if they are used to null.
 
Pass through values from JSON YotsubaJSON.java (ln. 188 -&gt; 212), doing the following conversions:
 
Thread num to the current thread number: <code>.setThreadNum(pj.getResto() == 0 ? pj.getNo() : pj.getResto());</code>
 
OP status YotsubaJSON.java (ln. 197): <code>p.setOp(pj.getResto() == 0);</code>
 
Sanitized title? YotsubaJSON.java (ln. 198): <code>p.setTitle(this.cleanSimple(pj.getSub()));</code>
 
See YotsubaAbstract.java (ln.83): <code>public String doClean(String text)</code>
 
Sanitized name YotsubaJSON.java (ln. 200): <code>p.setName(this.cleanSimple(pj.getName()));</code>
 
Date converted from NYC_TIMEZONE (ln. 202): <code>p.setDate(DateUtils.adjustTimestampEpoch(pj.getTime(), DateUtils.NYC_TIMEZONE));</code>
 
Sanitized? EXIF data YotsubaJSON.java (ln. 212): <code>p.setExif(this.cleanSimple(this.parseMeta(pj.getCom(), pj.getUniqueIps(), pj.getSince4pass(), pj.getTrollCountry())));</code> Return the Post() object.
 
== How Asagi handles an image in a thread? ==
 
Files of note: &gt;Local.java - Saving image files
 
Local.java ln.201: <code>public void insertMedia(MediaPost h, Board source, boolean isPreview) throws ContentGetException, ContentStoreException, CfBicClearParseException {</code>
 
== How Asagi deals with post deletions? ==
 
Relevant files: &gt;src.java &gt;src.java &gt;src.java
 
SQL That handles post deletion logic: SQL.java (ln. 94): <code>“this.updateDeletedQuery = String.format(&quot;UPDATE \&quot;%s\&quot; SET deleted = ?, timestamp_expired = ? WHERE num = ? AND subnum = ?&quot;, this.table);</code>
 
This is prepared into statement, SQL.java (ln.62): <code>updateDeletedStmt = conn.prepareStatement(updateDeletedQuery);</code>
 
Function that actually writes deleted flag to a post: SQL.java (ln. 267): <code>public synchronized void markDeleted(DeletedPost post) throws ContentStoreException, DBConnectionException {</code>
 
Class TopicFetcher has function run() which calls findDeleted() See AbstractDumper.java (ln. 268): <code>protected class TopicFetcher implements Runnable {</code>
 
And AbstractDumper.java (ln. 380): <code>findDeleted(oldTopic, topic, true);</code>
 
Function findDeleted() checks Posts in a Topic to check if they have been removed in AbstractDumper.java (ln. 103): <code>protected boolean findDeleted(Topic oldTopic, Topic newTopic, boolean markDeleted) {</code>
 
Function markDeleted() in Local.java calls function markDeleted() from SQL.java: Local.java (ln. 185): <code>public void markDeleted(DeletedPost post) throws ContentStoreException {</code>
 
SQL.java (ln. 267): <code>public synchronized void markDeleted(DeletedPost post) throws ContentStoreException, DBConnectionException {</code>
 
== How Asagi interacts with the database? ==
 
Relevant files: &gt;SQL.java &gt;Mysql.java
 
Inserting a thread: SQL.java, ln.196: <code>public synchronized void insert(Topic topic) throws ContentStoreException, DBConnectionException {</code> Each post in the current Topic object is fed through the insert statement sequentially.
 
== How each value is processed between 4ch and the DB ==

==== Functions of note: ====


===== SQL.java: =====
* Operating System: CentOS/RHEL 8
* Database: PostgreSQL
* Scraper: Ena or Hydrus (.NET C#)
* Middleware: Ayase (Python PyPy)
* Frontends: 4chan X, Clover, iphone app


===== YoutsubaJSON.java: =====
== Specifications ==


(ln.217) “private Topic makeThreadFromJson(PostJson pj) throws ContentParseException {”
=== Files ===


===== Topic.java =====
* All files are to be named by shA256sum and file extension. This was chosen for the broad availability of hardware xtensions for the purpose nd its use by 8chan/vichan.
* They are to be stored in double nested folders.


(Ln. 22) <code>public Topic(int num, int omPosts, int omImages) {</code>
=== Time ===


Data flow: 4ch -&gt; Asagi -&gt; DB
* Ayase requires time to be stored in PostgreSQL datetimes, which also store timezones.
* Only UTC should be used as the timezone for newly scraped data. The timezone support is not an excuse to store in other timezones.
* The timezone support is only meant for compatibility purposes with prior Asagi data, given that they store time as US time (maybe Eastern) due to their past HTML scraping. Future scrapes are strongly advised not to replicate this behavior, local time should be up to the frontend to determine.


?Seems to be handled by DB triggers.?
=== PostgreSQL Schema ===


== References: ==
if we GET json from the 4chan API, and always serve the same json to the user, why deconstruct and reconstruct into post focused sql records every time?

A seperate elastic search engine kept in sync with, but independent from the sql server, will replace Sphinxsearch which queries the mysql db
