Data Redundancy

Data Classification

Catalog	Format	Dataset	Classification	Notes
Harvest	JSON	link_list	create, delete
Harvest	JSON	archive_link_list	create	revise sync calls - do not use delete switch
Harvest	JSON	discussion	create, (delete - only affects 2 most recent months)	Restructure the storage, move date to year=2023/month=09
Pipeline	Parquet	raw/link_list	create, delete (2x daily)
Pipeline	Parquet	dedupe/link_list	create, delete (2x daily)
Pipeline	Parquet	compacted_raw/link_list	create, delete (~weekly)

Sync

Pull Discussions

This has to be done separately because the remote harvester host will not have the full discussion archive. Remote will have the current and previous month, which can be pulled with --delete.

This will not work if new subreddits have been added on the remote host, as it relies on the local directory structure to find the subreddits. Create the current month directories to fix that.

cd /opt/cypherpunk/data/reddit/json
find discussion -name '2023-09' -type d | awk '{print "rsync -avz --size-only --delete www.iterativechaos.com:/opt/cypherpunk/data/reddit/json/"$1"/ ./"$1"/"}'

Pull All Other JSON

rsync -avz --size-only --delete www.iterativechaos.com:/opt/cypherpunk/data/reddit/json/link_list/ /opt/cypherpunk/data/reddit/json/link_list/
