The Job serves as a critical component for publishing content/collection objects submitted for publishing within the system. It fulfils various essential functions to ensure a seamless and efficient publishing process:
Download and ECAR Packaging: The Job is responsible for downloading media files and packaging them into ECAR (E-content Archive) format, enabling offline consumption of content.
Collection Hierarchy Publishing: It handles the publishing of updated or edited collection hierarchy data, ensuring that changes are correctly reflected in the published content.
Metadata Update: The Job updates the metadata of content/collection object nodes with essential publish information, including ECAR paths, versionKey, pkgVersion, streamingUrl, status, and other relevant details.
Elastic Search Indexing: For efficient search and retrieval, the Job indexes collection leaf node objects to Elastic Search, enabling streamlined access to content data.
Redis Cache Clearing: To maintain data integrity and consistency, the Job clears cached node data from Redis, ensuring that users always access up-to-date information.
Output Topics: The Job generates output topics for post-publish processing, video stream generation (if streaming is enabled and the content is of streamable mimeType)
By performing these essential functions, the Job plays a crucial role in ensuring the successful and accurate publishing of content/collection objects. It ensures that published content is properly packaged, metadata is updated, indexing is efficient, and caches are cleared for optimal user experience. Ultimately, the Job contributes to a robust and reliable publishing process within the system.
During the deployment process, the configuration for all knowledge-platform-jobs is sourced from the sunbird-learning-platform repository. On the other hand, for local setups, the configuration is taken from the respective job folders within the knowledge-platform-jobs repository.
