-------------------------------------
Shall we postpone this after the release of 1.1? This is a new functionality
and at this stage we probably just want to iron out bugs on what we currently
have. Makes sense?

> Adds a Nutch extension point for a fetch filter. The fetch filter allows
> filtering content and parse data/text after it is fetched but before it is
> written to segments. The fliter can return true if content is to be written
> or false if it is not.
> Some use cases for this filter would be topical search engines that only want
> to fetch/index certain types of content, for example a news or sports only
> search engine. In these types of situations the only way to determine if
> content belongs to a particular set is to fetch the page and then analyze the
> content. If the content passes, meaning belongs to the set of say sports
> pages, then we want to include it. If it doesn't then we want to ignore it,
> never fetch that same page in the future, and ignore any urls on that page.
> If content is rejected due to a fetch filter then its status is written to
> the CrawlDb as gone and its content is ignored and not written to segments.
> This effectively stop crawling along the crawl path of that page and the urls
> from that page. An example filter, fetch-safe, is provided that allows
> fetching content that does not contain a list of bad words.
