I'm not sure what is the status of the nutchbase - it's missed a lot of fixes and changes in trunk since it's been last touched ... > > Talking about features, what else would we add apart from : > > * support for HBase : via ORM or not (see > NUTCH-808<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-808> > ) This IMHO is promising, this could open the doors to small-to-medium installations that are currently too cumbersome to handle. > * plugin cleanup : Tika only for parsing - get rid of everything else? Basically, yes - keep only stuff like HtmlParseFilters (probably with a different API) so that we can post-process the DOM created in Tika from whatever original format. Also, the goal of the crawler-commons project is to provide APIs and implementations of stuff that is needed for every open source crawler project, like: robots handling, url filtering and url normalization, URL state management, perhaps deduplication. We should coordinate our efforts, and share code freely so that other projects (bixo, heritrix, droids) may contribute to this shared pool of functionality, much like Tika does for the common need of parsing complex formats. > * remove index / search and delegate to SOLR +1 - we may still keep a thin abstract layer to allow other indexing/search backends, but the current mess of indexing/query filters and competing indexing frameworks (lucene, fields, solr) should go away. We should go directly from DOM to a NutchDocument, and stop there. Regarding search - currently the search API is too low-level, with the custom text and query analysis chains. This needlessly introduces the (in)famous Nutch Query classes and Nutch query syntax limitations, We should get rid of it and simply leave this part of the processing to the search backend. Probably we will use the SolrCloud branch that supports sharding and global IDF. > * new functionalities e.g. sitemap support, canonical tag etc...

Definitely. :) -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki <>< ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __________________________________ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com
