Agenda

• update on Compute Canada: both John and Colin understanding? Follow up questions to Raiyan?
• update on postprocessor: "John will run the postprocessor, and record the size of data from TWINNT & Domain Crawler, and how long it takes, and size of output file"
• single-site post-processor?
• coop hiring
• finalizing paperwork for Colin?

Postprocessor

• output of Twinnt wasn't what postprocessor was expecting, so John wrote a bridging function
• memory issue: crawled JSON were too big to read, not complete results
• 10,000 JSONs small ones, 8 were skipped, and all the TWINNT
• total time: 3151 seconds, 52 minutes
• Output format does seem to meet the expectations of the spreadsheet output format
• Problem: can't open the largest JSON (3Gb)
• question: output (regular output) & interest-output (outside of scope):

Compute Canada Issues

• John followed up with Raiyan and Raiyan said that the chrome browser should be killed when the crawler terminates, not sure not why happening; suggested reboot (John will test this)
• there are some new files created in the crawler, but we will focus on the output that

Tasks:

• kill the running processes of crawler
• re-run postprocessor with full output of both NYT & twitter
• what to do with the interest?
• Alejandro will communicate with Amy about the "output" & "interest-output" distinction
• Colin will attempt to stream (or wheatever its called) the interest.json
• if time allows, Colin will attempt a visualization
