Padre binaries and command line usage
Background
This page lists all the Padre binaries and their corresponding usage messages.
1. FineTune
Purpose: Tuning padre-sw ranking parameters based on a C-TEST file.
Usage: FineTune <collection>[.<profile>] ... [-perl_bin=path_to_perl_bin] [-help] [-verbose[=<level>]] [-timeout=<hours>] [-query_limit=<num_queries>] [-alpha=<f>] [-rvalues=<i>] [-adjust=<i>] [-sample=on|<number>][<mode> ...] [-conf] [-qp=padre_subpath] [-index_dir.<collection>=<index directory>] [-lock_file=<file to lock>]
e.g. FineTune lse -daat -annieonly
e.g. FineTune agosp.doha -timeout=7.5
Use -daat0 to tune term-at-a-time.
Timeouts and query limits: Apply separately to each mode. Defaults
are 5 hours and 1 million queries. After a timeout, or when the
query limit has been exceeded, the best tuning found so far for
that mode will be recorded in the .best file for the mode.
-perl_bin=/path/to/perl used to set the path to perl binary to use
-alpha sets the balance between success rate and wmum1 in tuning. [Dflt 0.75]
Value must lie between 0 (ignore success rate) and 1 (ignore wmum1)
-rvalues - sets no. of values to explore for optype=2 (real) [Dflt 11]
-adjust - sets no. of steps to remove when adjusting exploration range
for optype=2 (real) dimensions. [Dflt 5]
-conf extracts the mode to tune from collection.cfg. (N/A for multituning.)
-help gives more detailed instructions and exits.
-index_dir can be used to set the index directory for a particular collection.
The directory must contain a index prefixed by 'index'.)
-lock_file can be used to lock a file for the entire duration of tuning, if
the lock can not be acquired tuning will not start.)
-redirect_stdout can be used to redirect stdout to a given file.
-redirect_stderr can be used to redirect stderr to a given file.
-write_finish_time_to writes the tuning finish time in ISO-8601 to the given
file.
2. QiTune
Purpose: Tuning padre-sw query-independent ranking parameters based on a C-TEST file. Usage: QiTune stem C-TESTfile Given a PADRE index and a file of useful URLs (extracted from the C-TEST file) compute a set of query-independent cool settings suitable for passing to padre-do which (hopefully) optimise the difference in ave scores between the useful docs and the general collection.
3. SpellTune
Purpose: Tuning PADRE spelling suggestion system based on a test file e.g. mycoll.spelltest.
Usage: SpellTune <collection>[.<profile>] ... [-tune_bsi] [-help] [-verbose[=<level>]] [-timeout=<hours>] [-query_limit=<num_queries>] [-rvalues=<i>] [-adjust=<i>] [-sample=on|<number>][-qp=padre_subpath]
e.g. SpellTune lse -annieonly
e.g. SpellTune agosp.doha -timeout=7.5
(Timeouts and query limit defaults are 5 hours
and 1 million queries. After a timeout, or when the
query limit has been exceeded, the best tuning found so far
will be recorded in the .bestspell file for the mode.)
(-tune_bsi - tunes the build_spelling_index params. Slow.)
(-rvalues - sets no. of values to explore for optype=2 (real)) [Dflt 11]
(-adjust - sets no. of steps to remove when adjusting exploration range
for optype=2 (real) dimensions.) [Dflt 5]
(-help gives detailed instructions.)
Invalid usage.
4. annie-a
Annie version 1.13 (11 Mar 2010)
Purpose: Builds an annotation index for a collection, specified by <stem>, from a list of files in anchors.gz format.
Usage: annie-a <stem> [<stem_or_file> ...] [-phrasefile=<filename>] [-deb] [-hashbits <10..30>] [-maxlines <n>] [-wts <wt0> <wt1> <wt2> <wt3> <wt4>] [-stripstops] [-STOP=<filename>] [-canon] [-rejecturls] [-rejectnumeric] [-quicken] [-maxwds <i>] [-maxlen <i>] [-build_annou=on/off] [-build_lcache=on/off] [-nep_limit=0|1|2|3]
<stem> must reference either a meta collection or a primary index.
<stem_or_file> may be either a stem as above or the name of a file in anchors.gz format.
In the case <stem> or <stem_or_file> is a meta collection, annie-a will look for the anchors.gz files from each of the component collections and use them for creating the annotation index for the collection specified by <stem>. If any anchors.gz file changes for a component collection, annie-a will need to be run again for the meta collection.
-quicken improves query performance by using <coll id, doc id> pairs. The coll id is dependent on the sdinfo file, if the sdinfo file is changed annie-a will need to be run again for the meta collection with this option. It is recommended that the most recent collection is placed at the top of the sdinfo file.
5. annie-quicken
Purpose: Convert URL references in an annotation index into (component, docno) to speed query processing. Usage: annie-quicken anno_stem index_stem
6. build_autoc
Purpose: Builds an auto-completion index file (.autoc) from a list of input files.
Usage: build_autoc stem input_file ... [-collection name -profile name] [-partials] [-label_organics] [-debug]
e.g. build_autoc index example.csv
where example.csv will be sorted and indexed into index.autoc. Input_file(s)
must end in .csv, .suggest, or .cfg
-profile <name> - generate scoped .autoc file for the specified
profile. A previous run of build_autoc must have
been called with -index.
-collection <name> - generate scoped .autoc file for the specified
collection. Both -profile and -collection need
to be specified when generating scoped suggestions
-partials - this version allows multi-word organic
suggestions to be triggered either from the full
suggestions or from trailing word sequences. E.g.
'big fat cat' triggered from 'fat cat' and 'cat' as
well as the full string. This option turns that on.
-label_organics - present a category label for all the organic completions
-sample <val> - Sample postings of suggestion terms, to handle large
collections, <val> ranges 0 - 300; speeds up processing
with the effect of sampling the suggestions.
(1/val postings are used).
build_autoc supports the building of a single .autoc file from multiple input
files of the same or different types. Files with very simple
format can be combined with hand-crafted files containing
complex actions. Completion weights from a .suggest file
are automatically determined, while they can be manually specified
in a CSV file. Completion weights from Best Bets
default to 100.
Note: this binary requires query processor options to be set via the environment
and the calling of it directly from the command line or via Funnelabck workflow
is not supported.
SUGGEST FORMAT
--------------
.suggest files built by build_spelling_index can be supplied as
input. Reasons for doing this include taking advantage of an index
optimised for completion purposes; and integrating automated spelling
suggestions with hand-crafted entries.
CFG FORMAT
----------
Input files with .cfg suffix are no longer supported
CSV FORMAT
----------
Each line of a .csv file must contain eight fields (7 commas),
corresponding to: key, weight, display, display_type, category,
category_type, action, and action_type. Fields except key and
weight may be empty.
Two meta characters are recognized within a field: backslash and
double quote. These are handled as follows in the two cases:
(A) Unquoted text: A single backslash is not passed through, while
the character following it is passed through without applying
any tests. This means that a double backslash in input leads to
a single backslash in output and that commas or double quotes
preceded by a backslash do not have their normal meaning.
(B) Quoted text: The double quotes beginning and ending a quoted
section are not passed through. Within a quoted section a double
quote may be passed through by either doubling it ("") or by
preceding it with a backslash (\").
By these means it is possible to pass through HTML and/or JSON
containing quotes and/or commas
7. build_match_only_index
Purpose: create a match only index, which build_autoc can use to build profiled query suggestions. Usage: build_match_only_index stem
8. build_spelling_index
Purpose: To build a spelling suggestion file (.suggest/.suggest2) for a collection.
Usage: build_spelling_index index_stem num_thresh [<metadata_class_names> [[<lexiweight>] [[<blacklist_file>] [<whitelist_file>]]]
e.g. build_spelling_index index 2 [@,t,c]
where the listed comma separated metadata class names,
'@,t,c', are the ones to be scanned for
suggestions. '@' means use the .anno file. '%' means use
unfielded words from index. lex. + means use phrases from
index.phrases (if present). If no fields are listed, "@,+,t,%"
is assumed.
num_thresh - minimum weight of suggestions recorded in suggest index
lexiweight - controls the weight of lexicon suggestions relative
to annotations. wt = lexiweight * sqrt(df) (dflt lexiweight = 1.00)
blacklist_file - manual list of suggestions which should NOT be included
in the index. (one per line)
whitelist_file - manual list of suggestions to include in the index.
(one per line.)
9. csv2ctest
Purpose: To convert a tuning file in CSV format into a C-TEST file for use with e.g. FineTune.
Usage: csv2ctest: infile.csv [-utils=recip|-utils=equal] [-queryweights]
Output in C-TEST format will be in infile.ctest
The input file is assumed to be a syntactically correct comma separated
value (CSV) file in which cells are separated by commas. Double quotes
around all or part of a cell allow inclusion of commas. The quotes are
stripped off before processing. The input file may contain comment
lines starting with a hash.
The first column in infile.csv is always assumed to contain a query.
If no options are given, then the remaining columns contain desired
answer URLs for that query, in descending order of utility. Utility
scores start at 4 and then gradually decline to 1: 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1 ...
This behaviour may be modified as follows:
-utils=equal - All of the answers are given equal utility values.
-utils=sqrt - Utility values drop off as 1/sqrt(rank).
-utils=recip - Utility values drop off faster -- as 1/rank.
-queryweights - if this is given, the second column is expected to
contain the numerical weight associated with the query
and the remaining columns contain the answer URLs

Purpose: Map a URL to that document's number within an index stem. Usage: get_docnum_from_url <index_stem> <url> Prints the docnum for a given URL to standard out. Prints "notfound" if the URL is not found. <filestem> - the common prefix (including path) of the index files <url> - the URL to look up the document number for
14. get_url_from_component_document_pair
Purpose: Within an index, output the URL of the document identified by component number and document number. Usage: get_url_from_component_document_pair <index_stem> <component_number> <document_number> Warning: Doesn't handle nested .sdinfo files. (Hierarchical meta collections.)
15. get_url_from_docnum
Purpose: print the URL of a document in a primary index, given its URL. Inverse of get_docnum_from_url. Usage: get_url_from_docnum <index_stem> <doc_num>
16. harvest_anchortext
Purpose: Extract a subset of entries in a list of anchors.gz files which match a specified pattern. Usage 1: harvest_anchortext -targ|-text|-any|-source pattern anchor_text_file ... Usage 2: harvest_anchortext -noneps <affiliates_file> anchor_text_file ... Extracts a subset of lines in the anchor_text_files. The composition of the subset depends upon the match_type argument as follows: -any - Any line (source or target) which matches pattern -targ - Any target line whose URL target matches pattern -text - Any target line whose anchortext matches pattern -source - Any source line which matches pattern + In usage 2, links within the same SECD (single-entity-controlled-domain) are suppressed, as are links between affiliated pairs of hosts listed in the affiliates_file. If there is no affiliates_file, use '-'. + Whenever a target line matches the corresponding source line is also output. + Whenever a source line matches its corresponding target lines are also output. + NOTE: nepotistic links are included unless -noneps is used.
17. hierarchical_navpaths
Purpose: Extract hierarchical navigation paths from a list of anchors files.
Usage: hierarchical_navpaths <stem> [-verbose] [<anchor_text_file> ...]
Reads <stem>.anchors.gz, plus any additional anchortext files to
identify hierarchical navigation paths (HNPs). These are output
to <stem>.hnp.anchors.gz in standard anchors.gz format:
<target_url> --- [H]<concatenated anchors from path>
+ NOTES:
1. inter-host links are ignored.
2. -verbose prints the actual HN paths to stdout.
3. All targets in the .hnp.anchors file have http://hnp as source.
Warning: Not ready for use. Development of this utility is incomplete.
18. host_host_link_counts
Purpose: Analyse a list of anchors.gz files and report on frequencies of inter-host links. Usage: host_host_link_counts [-targ|-source <pattern>] [-report] <stem> [anchor_text_file ...] Reads the anchor_text_files and outputs a table of host-host links, in descending order of link count. By default, all lines are processed, but a pattern can optionally be applied to either targets or sources. If -report is given, short and full HTML reports will be generated. -targ - Process only links whose target host matches pattern -source - Process only links whose source host matches pattern Nowadays, the first option not starting with a - is an index stem. A file <stem>.hosts is created with a table of host-related feature scores which can be used in ranking. The order of entries must correspond to the hostnum order assigned by padre-iw. + NOTE: within-host links are excluded.
19. padre-arg-sw
Purpose: To help with conversion of padre-sw argument lists from old to key=value format
20. padre-cc
Purpose: To build an index.collapsig file to permit use of collapsed rankings.
Usage: padre-cc <index_stem> [-collapse_control=<string>] [-debug=on]
Utility for building a .collapsig file of collapsing
signatures. If no control_string is given, a one-column
file is built using the signatures from the .textsig file.
The collapse_control string must consist of sets of sequences of
metadata class names. Each set should be surrounded by square
brackets, and sets should be separated by commas. Metadata class
names are the elements of the sets and must be separated by
commas.
The characters $ and # may be used as special metadata class
names and represent document summarisable text and
document URL respectively.
In future, it is planned to allow special metadata class
names to be followed by a regular expression,
indicating that only the part of the metadata string which matches
the regex should be used in calculating the signature.
Example current control string: '[$],[t,a]'. In this case the .collapsig
will have two signatures per document: Column 0 is the normal document
signature and column 1 is a signature derived from the concatenation of
metadata fields t and a, in that order.

can NOT be expanded you will be required to ensure enough is available.
* other_gscope specifies a gscope to be set on documents which
end up with no gscopes set.

30. padre-iw
Purpose: Index a collection of documents
Usage1: padre-iw -V|-help|-helpadoc|-ixform (print version or help info.)
Usage2: padre-iw [-f|-tar|-reo<pf>] <dir>|<file>|<url> <filestem> [<option>|<tfdir> ...]
Usage3: padre-iw -secondary_update <dir>|<file> <filestem>
<pf> is a text file containing a permutation of the document numbers in the original index.
<dir> is a hierarchical directory of optionally gzipped files.
<file> contains a list of names of optionally gzipped files.
-f says that <file> is a single datafile to be indexed. For historic reasons
-tar means the same as -f.
Files to be indexed may be tar or WARC files (optionally gzipped).
Note that individual files in a tarfile are expected to be uncompressed.
text. Gzipped files, unfiltered PDFs etc. are not supported yet.
-reo says that <file> is the stem of a previous index to be
reordered and reindexed. <pf> is a text file containing
a permutation of the document numbers in the original index. Eventually,
it may be possible to compute the permutation internally. For now, it
must be specified via <pf>.
<filestem> prefixes the names of output files.
<tfdir> is the dir. in which tmp files will be writ.
-secondary_update creates a secondary index using the data directory specified, and using the options used in creating the primary index.
Available options:
A. Getting information about PADRE and its operation.
-V - Print PADRE version number and exit.
-ixform - Print index format version created by this indexer exit.
-help - Print this list and exit.
-helpadoc - Print this list in asciidoc format and exit.
-debug - Generate debugging output.
-show_each_word_indexed - For debugging. Show each word occurrence (with field) as it is indexed.
-show_each_word_to_file - For debugging. Print each word occurrence (with field) to <filestem>.words_in_docs
-hashlog - Create a .hashlog file with incremental hashing stats.
-quiet - Use terse logging.
-ankdebug - Generate debugging output relating to anchortext.
-termdeb<term> - print debugging messages relating to the indexing of <term>.
B. Controlling what is indexed.
-nometa - Don't index any metadata except t, d and k (titles, dates and links).
-nomdsfconcat - Don't concatenate strings in the mdsf file. Record first only. (Others are still indexed.)
-diwimuu - Don't index words in made-up URLs (those constructed from filepath).
-dias - Don't index link anchor source as part of source documents (<a> only).
-ibd - Index all documents even if they appear to be binary.
-ixcom - Index words in HTML and XML comments.
-select<num1>,<num2> - Index every num1th file/bundle starting from
num2th(from zero).
-select-doc-in-bundle=<interval>,<offset> - Index every <interval> document
within a bundlestarting from <offset> (which starts at zero).
Only works with warc store.
-tarpat<regex> - Filenames in a tarfile being indexed must match regex. Default is match-everything.
-csv=<fsep><skipfirst>[<quote>] - Deprecated. Use the CSV to XML filter instead. Files which are
not clearly something else
are assumed to be CSV format.
fsep is ascii field separator, typically comma.
(tab is represented by t.)
skipfirst is either y or n, telling padre whether the first
line in a CSV file should be skipped.
quote is the character used to quote strings in fields
which may contain separators. (You probably have to
escape it on the command line.) If not specified,
no quote character is defined. To include a quote
character within a quoted section, the quote may be doubled.
-csv_fields=<comma_separated_descriptor_list> - Deprecated. Use the CSV to XML filter instead.
This is a list of comma
separated descriptors describing how to index each column of
the csv file.
To index terms in a column as document text use '-'.
To index terms in a column as metadata use the format:
<metadata class name><content type>
To skip terms in a column use 'X'.
For example: 't1,-,X', would set the first column to title,
the second column would be indexed as document content and the third
column would b skipped.
Content-type defined in this argument should be the same as the content type in
the metadata mappings
-check_url_exclusion=<on|off> - URLs matching url_exclusion pattern will not be searchable. (Default on.)
-url_exclusion_pattern=<regex> - exclusion pattern to use if URLs are vetted. (Default 'file://$SEARCH_HOME/')
-filepath_exclusion_pattern=<regex> - exclusion pattern to use if files are to be excluded from indexing
on the basis of the filepath. If applicable, this is more efficient than excluding by URL
because the URL can't be finally determined until the content has been scanned. (Default: not set)
-index_subversion_dirs - Normally the .svn directories created by
the subversion version control system are not indexed. Override this default.
C. Controlling how things are indexed.
-noax - Don't conflate accents.
-unimap=<mapname> - specify a Unicode mapping to be applied when indexing
and when query processing. Supported values:
tosimplified, and totraditional. (Chinese only.)
-deutsch=<i> - How much extra processing is done for umlaut and sz.
0 - none. München is indexed as München and Munchen
1 - München is indexed as München, Muenchen and Munchen (Dflt)
2 - As for 1 but also Muenchen is indexed as München, Muenchen and Munchen
(As a side-effect to allow for compounds, SORT_SIGNIF is increased to 40
-nz=<i> - How much extra processing is done for Māori.
0 - none. Māori and Mäori are indexed as Māori or Mäori resp. and Maori (Dflt)

31. padre-mi
Purpose: To merge a list of PADRE indexes into a single such index. Usage: padre-mi outstem instem instem ... [-overwrite] [-cleargscopes] -overwrite overrides protection against destroying existing outstem -cleargscopes clears all set gscopes from the resulting index Make a merged index (outstem) from the list of at least two input indexes. This version assumes that input indexes have exactly the same format, i.e. that the index format strings are the same and that they have identical numbers of gscope bits, numerical metadata fields and so on. Future versions may check this compatibility, but currently exact compa- tibility is assumed. All manner of pestilence may descend upon you if you use padre-mi on incompatible indexes. You have been warned :-)
32. padre-qi
Purpose: To setup a query-independent-evidence file for use in query processing.
Usage: padre-qi index_stem file_of_url_patterns dflt_score [profile_name] [-verbose]
- if a profile name is given, qiefile will be stem.qie_profile
Each URL in the index is matched against the patterns, in the
order in which they are listed in the pattern file. Once a match
is found, matching ceases for that URL. This behaviour can be
exploited to apply a general pattern (later in the file) if
no more specific pattern (earlier in the file) matches.
To achieve exact matching use ^ (matches start of URL) and
$(matches end of URL
Lines in the patterns file consist of:
<qie score> <url-pattern>
qie-score - a floating point number (assumed normalised to the range 0-1),
specifying the qie score to be applied.
url-pattern - a perl5 regular expression to be matched against name
strings in the .urls file (usually URLs).
Example:
0.25 ^(https://)?[^/]*nsw.gov.au/
1.0 ^(https://)?[^/]*wa.gov.au/
0.25 ^(https://)?[^/]*sa.gov.au/
0.25 ^(https://)?[^/]*nt.gov.au/
33. padre-qs
Purpose: To generate query suggestions given an index and a partially typed query.

Note: The functionality is implemented by a dynamic library which is usually called directly.
padre-qs stem=/opt/funnelback/data/abc/live/idx/index partial_query=kevi alpha=0.5 show=10
- sort=0 (by weight), 1 (by length), 2 (in alphabetic order), 3 (by weighted combo of weight and length).
- fmt=json => simple JSON array of suggestion strings;
=json++ => full JSON object with all fields shown.
- callback=foo => In JSON or JSON++ output will wrap
the response with the supplied callback (for JSONP).
- show=<d> => how many suggestions to show.
- alpha=<f> => if sort=3, score = alpha * weight + (1 - alpha) * length_score.

37. padre-sk
Purpose: Create a skip block index from a regular padre index. Usage: padre-sk <stem> <skip> Output will be in <stem>.idx_skip and <stem>.dct_skip <stem> String: the index stem to use <skip> Integer: the minimum number of postings between each skip block
38. padre-sr
Purpose: Display all or part of the content of the .results file. (Title, URL, Description metadata, and candidate sentences for summary generation.

.textsigs (generate stem.textsigs file suitable for neardup detection.)
If -titleonly is given only the document titles are output. (not applic. to textsigs)
Use -unco to specify that the input doc. is in old uncompressed format.
If a starting document number or URL is given, output commences
only when that point in the file is reached. Output continues
to the end of the file unless num_docs_to_show is given.
If urlpat= is given, only documents whose URL matches the pattern are
considered for display. Case-sensitive unless specified otherwise
in the pattern. Don't include 'http://' in the pattern.

Missing required argument -input=<input file> List the top-k most frequent items Usage: padre-topk -input=<input file> [-capacity=<integer>] [-k=<integer>] Where: * -input: is the file of items where each item is delimited by new line * -capacity: this is the limit as to the number of items that will be held in memory at once. * -k: this is the number of items that will shown at the end. Efficiently (compared to some other algorithims) estimates the count of the most frequent top-k items e.g. for a,b,c,a,b,a the top-2 would be a with a count of 3 followed by b with a count of 2
42. pan-look
Purpose: Efficient location of all lines in a sorted text file which match a prefix. Usage: pan-look <prefix> <file name>
43. phrasefinder
Purpose: Extract frequently occurring word tuples ('phrases') from a collection.
Usage: phrasefinder <stem> [-unco] [-hash_limit=<i>] [-num_to_show=<i>] [-max_tuple=<i>] [-debug]
phrasefinder reads the .results file of <stem> and locates candidate word tuples
('phrases') up to a configurable maximum length. Phrases are sequences
of up to max_tuple words which are unbroken by anything other than space.
Candidates are stored in a hashtable and counted. A limit of
hash_limit candidates is stored. Once this is reached, the program
exits. (Useful for testing or for limiting execution time and virtual
memory requirements.) When processing finishes, the top num_to_show
candidates are sorted in descending order of frequency and output in
<stem>.phrases, in the same format as the .lex file, with word breaks
represented by hyphens.
44. run-with-flock
Purpose: Runs a command with a exclusive file lock held. Usage: run-with-flock file_lock_path lock_acquired_path cmd arg0 arg1 ... argn This will open (and create) 'file_lock_path' and then will take a exclusive file lock on the path after that it will create the file: 'lock_acquired_path', if all of that succeeds then the given command will be executed while the lock is held.
45. show_annotations_for_doc
Purpose: Given an annotation index, summarise the annotations applied to a given URL. Usage: show_annotations_for_doc <index_stem>|<collection> <URL>|<URL64>|<DOCNO> [-csv|-html|-xml] - Show the annotations applying to the specified URL and their weights. - Don't forget to quote or escape shell metacharacters in a URL! - Default output format is XML.
46. url_tagger
Purpose: Apply the tags in a tag mapping file to a PADRE index. Usage1: url_tagger stem (-clear|<url-tags-file>) Usage 2: url_tagger -v url_tagger -clear clears all tags from all documents in the index url_tagger <url-tags-file> takes an url-tags file and applies it to the relevant entries in <stem>.results. url_tagger -v shows version information. Lines in the url-tags file are in the form: <url> <comma-separated-taglist> It is assumed that <url> contains no space and tags contain no commas.
