Julien Nioche commented on NUTCH-835: ------------------------------------- This patch has been marked for 1.2 but has been committed to trunk only (2.0). Shall we also apply it to /nutch/branches/branch-1.2 ? > document deduplication (exact duplicates) failed using MD5Signature > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NUTCH-835 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-835 > Project: Nutch > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.1 > Environment: Linux, Ubuntu 10.04, Java 1.6.0_20 > Reporter: Sebastian Nagel > Assignee: Andrzej Bialecki > Fix For: 1.2, 2.0 > > > The MD5Signature class calculates different signatures for identical > documents. > The reason is that > byte[] data = content.getContent(); > ... StringBuilder().append(data) ... > uses java.lang.Object.toString() to get a string representation of the > (binary) content > which results in unique hash codes (e.g., [...@30dc9065) even for two byte > arrays > with identical content. > A solution would be to take the MD5 sum of the binary content as first part > of the > final signature calculation (the parsed content is the second part): > ... > .append(StringUtil.toHexString(MD5Hash.digest(data).getDigest())).append(parse.getText()); > Of course, there are many other solutions... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
