Breaking changes

This section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating your application to Snow Owl 6.11.0.

6.0.0

Breaking changes

This section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating your application to Snow Owl 6.0.0.

Datasets created before 6.0.0

Snow Owl v6.0.0 does not support Lucene based indexes anymore. We've decided to remove that module completely in favor of the now fully supported and stable Elasticsearch based module. All datasets (including the ones created with the experimental Elasticsearch module) need a full reindex. See Admin Console Reference Guide for details.

API changes

Removed offset properties from all collection resource representation classes. Offset+Limit based paging is resource-intensive, therefore it has been completely removed. Your queries should either search for the topN hits or if you need to scroll a large result set, then use the scrollId returned in the collection resource (alternatively you can scroll a live result set using the searchAfter parameter). Read more about scrolling here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-scroll.html

@Analyzed annotations

Replaced @Analyzed with @Text and @Keyword to better reflect Elasticsearch field types text and keyword.

5.9.0

Breaking changes

• Datasets created before 5.9.0 require a full reindex in case you would like to use the new branch compare API (or you are using the old review-based compare feature).

Added

• New branch compare Java API (https://github.com/b2ihealthcare/snow-owl/pull/145)

• Index documents now store a _hash field. The value is computed from the semantic content of the document using SHA-1 (requires reindex).

Changed

• Classification Java API now returns only SNOMED CT concept identifiers

5.0.0

Breaking changes

This section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating your application to Snow Owl 5.0.0.

Datasets created before 5.0.0

Snow Owl v5.0.0 no longer supports nested index directory format. The new format is flat, branches do not have their own directories under the corresponding terminology repository's root index folder. Branching and revision information are coded into each document and each terminology component has multiple documents in the index, which is called revision index and the documents are revisions. Additionally with the new index format, Snow Owl moved from Lucene v4.9.0 to v5.5.0. Indexes, that still use the old index API, but depend on the new Lucene version, should be accessible and readable by Lucene v5.5.0.

To support migration of incompatible datasets, Snow Owl v5.0.0 comes with a reindex command, which can be used to create the new index for any dataset based on the contents of the relational database. See updated Admin Console Reference Guide for details.

Java API changes

Due to index format changes, public APIs (generic and/or SNOMED CT terminology related) - that used the old format - become obsolete, and either marked with deprecated annotation or have been completely removed. See the affected public APIs in the Removed section.

Review API changes

In general the Review API still works the same way as in the 4.x versions, but the new, changed, deleted concept ID sets might contain non-Concept identifiers when a member of a Relationship/Description changes, but the corresponding Relationship/Description does not. It is recommended to fetch the container SNOMED CT Concept identifier by querying the source branch for the new or changed Relationship/Descriptions, and extracting the SNOMED CT Concept identifier from either the conceptId or sourceId properties. Querying deleted revisions from the tip of a branch is currently not supported, see next section.

With this change and limited capabilities, Snow Owl will no longer support the current version of the Review API starting from the next release (5.1.0), and it will replace it with a more generic Branch Compare API. This new API will return the new/changed/deleted document identifiers directly without trying to be smart and replace the document identifier with the corresponding container (root resource, like the SNOMED CT Concept) component identifier. API consumers will be responsible for fetching and computing the final compare result based on the actual changes between the branches, if they would like to still show the review in the scope of a SNOMED CT Concept. This enables Snow Owl to use the same Branch Compare API for different terminology implementations and the API will provide access points to query the proper revision of new/changed/deleted components (currently it only supports the latest revision, which returns HTTP 404 Not Found for deleted components).

Added

• Maintenance commands:

  • snowowl reindex <repositoryId> <failedCommitTimestamp> - Reindexes the currently available database content from scratch, or from the specified commitTimestamp (if a previously initiated reindex process has failed at some point)

  • snowowl optimize <repositoryId> <maxSegments> - Optimizes the underlying index for the repository to have the supplied maximum number of segments (default number is 1)

  • snowowl purge <repositoryId> <branchPath> <purgeStrategy> - optimizes the underlying index by deleting unnecessary documents from the given branch using the given purge strategy (default strategy is LATEST, available strategies are ALL, LATEST, HISTORY)

• New search options for SNOMED CT Reference Set Members:

  • acceptabilityId

  • translogSyncInterval - the interval in milliseconds, which specifies how often the transaction log flushes its changes to disk (default is 5000, 5 seconds, minimum allowed value is 1000, 1 second)

  • queryWarnThreshold - threshold in milliseconds, which specifies when to log a WARN level message in the log file about a slow query (default value is 400)

  • queryInfoThreshold - threshold in milliseconds, which specifies when to log an INFO level message in the log file about a slow query (default value is 300)

  • queryDebugThreshold - threshold in milliseconds, which specifies when to log a DEBUG level message in the log file about a slow query (default value is 100)

  • queryTraceThreshold - threshold in milliseconds, which specifies when to log a TRACE level message in the log file about a slow query (default value is 50)

  • fetchWarnThreshold - threshold in milliseconds, which specifies when to log a WARN level message in the log file about a slow fetch (default value is 200)

  • fetchInfoThreshold - threshold in milliseconds, which specifies when to log an INFO level message in the log file about a slow fetch (default value is 100)

  • fetchDebugThreshold - threshold in milliseconds, which specifies when to log a DEBUG level message in the log file about a slow fetch (default value is 50)

  • fetchTraceThreshold - threshold in milliseconds, which specifies when to log a TRACE level message in the log file about a slow fetch (default value is 10)

• New modules:

  • com.b2international.index.api - Generic Index API module

4.2.0

Added

• Support for terminology reviews

  • POST /reviews

  • GET /reviews/:id

  • GET /reviews/:id/concept-changes

  • DELETE /reviews/:id

  Changes are computed according to existing version comparison logic in Snow Owl Server; in particular, reference set identifier concepts are marked as changed if any members are added, removed or updated in the reference set. The first modification immediately after versioning triggers an update to "Module dependency", making it appear in concept change resources.

  Inbound relationship changes do not mark the target concept as changed. Inactivating a concept marks it as changed, not deleted.

  Concept change sets and review resources are kept for a limited time, which is configurable using the snowowl_configuration.yml file.

4.1.0

Added

• Deep branching support has been implemented

  • POST /branches endpoint

  • GET /branches endpoint

  • DELETE /branches/{path} endpoint

  • GET /branches/{path} endpoint

  • GET /branches/{path}/children endpoint

  • POST /merges endpoint

Changed

• Added support for Unpublished component import. RF2 rows with empty effectiveTime column can be imported into Snow Owl SNOMED CT repository.

• Breaking RESTful API changes

  • /{tag}[/tasks/{taskId}]/... URLs are replaced with URL beginning with /{path}/..., where "path" may include an arbitrary number of /-separated segments

• Separate API documentation for each RESTful API

  • Administrative: http://localhost:8080/snowowl/admin/

  • SNOMED CT: http://localhost:8080/snowowl/snomed-ct/v2/

• API documentation layout

  • Two column layout, one for the API docs and one for the Swagger UI

• Deep branching support for Import/Export configuration (new branchPath)

• API version is now included in SNOMED CT REST service URLs; the accepted media type is application/vnd.com.b2international.snowowl+json for both Administrative and SNOMED CT terminology services

• Deployment changes: The preferred transaction isolation level is READ-COMMITTED for MySQL databases. For changing the corresponding server variable, refer to https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/set-transaction.html.

Removed

• Breaking RESTful API changes

  • Removed /tasks API endpoints

Known issues

• Associated index directories are not purged when a branch and any children are deleted

• Reopening a branch can not be rolled back; if applying changes fails after reopening a branch during rebase or merge operations, previous changes will be lost

• No additional metadata is present on version tag branches

2015-03-26

Added

• WRP-89: both FULL and DELTA imports are now separating incoming import files into "layers" based on the effective time columns, and individual layers get imported in order. This enables importing the 20150131 INT RF2 release delta, which includes components from 20140731 as well. The import process can now create versions after importing each "layer" for all import types.

  Note that the above mentioned 20150131 release would require "re-tagging" of an already released 20140731 version, which is not supported, or placing the additional content on the existing 20140731 version branch as a patch. This, however, would make the extra 20140731 content available on that version and that version only; it would be visible neither from MAIN, nor from 20150131.

  The current implementation issues a warning when such cases are encountered; the extra content will become visible on MAIN and 20150131, but not on version 20140731, which is left untouched. A possible workaround is to import 20140731 from a delta with disabled version creation, then import the 20150131 delta with enabled version creation.

2015-03-19

Added

• WRP-135: added properties taskId and versionId to the export configuration object to allow exporting content from task branches. URLs for exporting no longer include the version segment.

  • version/taskId is accepted, but not applicable (no tasks on versions)

  • when taskId left out, it means MAIN or head of a particular version

• Added the transientEffectiveTime property to the export configuration object for specifying

  effective time values in export files, if unpublished components are present. Valid values are:

  • "" or not setting the property: uses Unpublished in exported files

  • "NOW": uses the current server date in exported files

  • dates in yyyyMMdd format, eg. "20150319": uses the specified date in exported files

  • anything else result in return code 400 bad request, date is not validated in terms of earlier/later (only proper format)

    Note: unpublished components are filtered out from DELTA exports if the export configuration specifies an ending effective time.

Changed

• Changed the export service to export components from all modules if the moduleIds property of the export configuration object is not set. The previous behavior resulted in empty export files under the assumption that no modules should be exported.

• Querying or exporting a non-existent export config returns now code 404 as opposed to 200 and an empty object.

• After downloading the export result, the export config is cleaned up.

DEV2.1 - 2015-03-05

Changed

• Make the Accept header mandatory for requests to "B2i" URLs, and produce application/json

  responses on "Browser" URLs. This means that the latter endpoints will be hit when entered in a

  web browser's URL bar, making testing easier.

• Increase concept children collection performance by using a combination of low-level calls. This

  brings the test case of 123037004's children down from ~22 seconds to ~350 ms.

• Sort description search results by relevance, and add offset and limit to fetch search results in

  smaller segments.

• Split the API documentation into two sets: the administrative interface with the code system

  listing is separated from SNOMED CT services. The API viewer's own URL bar can be used to switch

  between generated documentation endpoints; two shortcuts were also added. The default URL is changed

  to http://localhost:8080/snowowl/admin/api-viewer/ .

DEV2 - 2015-02-20

Added

• New API viewer category for URLs specific to the IHTSDO Browser:

• GET /{tag}[/tasks/{taskId}]/concepts/{SCTID} for retrieving concepts and related details

• GET /{tag}[/tasks/{taskId}]/concepts/{SCTID}/children for retrieving concept children

• GET /{tag}[/tasks/{taskId}]/descriptions?query={query_string} for retrieving matching

  descriptions

• GET /{tag}[/tasks/{taskId}]/constants for getting response constant FSNs and identifiers

Changed

• effectiveDate and effectiveTime properties on SNOMED CT components and code system

  versions now universally follow the short yyyyMMdd format (also applies when creating new

  versions), other dates should use ISO8601

• Accept-Language is required on all new endpoints which return descriptions, as Snow Owl

  Server stores descriptions with different language codes and acceptability side-by-side

• Constants must be retrieved on a version/task basis, as the FSN of these enumeration

  values can change between versions, tasks

Removed

• isLeafStated is not returned, as Snow Owl Server holds a mixed set of relationships

  which matches the inferred view only

DEV1 - 2015-02-13

Added

• WRP-26: Support importing deltas without corresponding unchanged artefacts

• WRP-82: Enable REST operation to support imports on branches

• WRP-88: Add support for namespace to REST API

• Added folder delta-import-examples which includes a set of RF2 release .zip

  files, containing the minimally required content for each change. A separate

  readme.txt file within the folder has additional instructions on how these

  archives can be used.

Changed

• URLs under and including /snomed-ct/imports no longer require specifying the

  version to use as a path variable;

• The input object for POST /snomed-ct/imports should now include both the

  version as well as the task identifier, if applicable:

  {
  "version": "MAIN",
  "taskId": "SO-001",
  "type": "DELTA",
  "languageRefSetId": "900000000000508004",
  "createVersions": false
  }

• GET /snomed-ct/imports/{importId} will return information about the ongoing

  import and the original values from the import configuration:

  {
  "type": "DELTA",
  "version": "MAIN",
  "taskId": "SO-001",
  "createVersions": false,
  "languageRefSetId": "900000000000508004",
  "id": "89feb6f4-f6a7-4652-90b9-b89b6b8587ce",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "startDate": "2015-02-13T15:39:56Z",
  "completionDate": "2015-02-13T15:41:05Z"
  }

  Removed

• To keep the release file's size small, no indexes and SQL dumps have been

  attached; the ones from the previous release can be used instead. A database

  reload is required.
