DXR 2.0 is about to land! This is a major revision touching every part of the system, swapping out SQLite for elasticsearch, and replacing many hard-coded C++ assumptions with a language-independent plugin interface.
Please take it for a spin on the staging server at http://dxr.allizom.org/, and see if you find any regressions from the production version at dxr.mozilla.org. You can file them directly at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Webtools&component=DXR&status_whiteboard=es or just reply. Barring showstoppers, we plan to put it into prod within a few weeks. What's new? * Improved C/C++ analysis * Multi-language support—Python and Rust, for starters, soon to be enabled for moz-central * All queries are fast—and will be even faster in prod, once our webheads and elasticsearch servers are colocated * Browsing of images * Listing of binary files * Result counts (so jrudermann can have googlefights) * Independent tree indexing, so one build failure won't scuttle updates for the rest of the trees. (This will help us get all the trees currently under MXR indexed.) * Parallel indexing so we can set the DC on fire * New plugin architecture so we can add new languages, query types, and cross references easily (https://dxr.readthedocs.org/en/es/development.html#writing-plugins) This is really a backend-focused release, but you can see some of the new possibilities start to leak out. I'm enthusiastic about the features this will enable next: better surfacing of symbols without having to know their type ahead of time, faceted drill-down, context for search results, and permalinks (our last major blocker to decommissioning MXR). Thanks for helping test it out!
