Hmm, I don't think I said that. Both are batch orientated and 1.x is probably better at large scale processing than 2.x (at least currently) > Perhaps with more and more people use NoSql as > their back-end DB, the developers should focus more on the development of > Nutch 2.x, ensure its stability and improve its function. IMHO it's not that the developers *should* focus on this or that. I see it more as an evolutionary process where things get improved because they are used in the first place or get derelict and abandoned if there is no interest from users. If as you say people prefer to have a SQL backend instead of the sequential HDFS data structures then there will be more contributions and as a result 2.x will be improved.
