Saving a user-generated index #15

Closed marians closed 12 years ago

marians commented 12 years ago

User should be able to hit "Save & Share". Then some information is shown, the user confirms and adds some personal data.

Data should be written to the http://thedatahub.org/dataset/yourtopia-italy into a dedicated resource.

We also need a quickly accessible local cache of the user-generated data for the details display and browse pages. For the detail page we only need access by ID. For the browse page, the content should be sorted by ID descending and a lookup of the recent n IDs has to be fast.

In addition, we need a quick and fail-safe way to allocate a new ID.

Probably a local SQL(lite) database - in combination with the datahub storage - would facilitate things.

SQLite will not be especially quicker than ElasticSearch -- i note we can have direct access to elasticsearch instance running in same cluster. However, if you want sqlite please just use that (and don't bother with ElasticSearch :-) )

Sharing in the SQLite database is now implemented.

If we want to add writing to Elastic Search directly on thedatahub.org, we can extend the two functions to do so:

add_usercreated_entry update_usercreated_entry
