Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Nutch Wiki" for change notification.
The "ThirdReport" page has been changed by FjodorVershinin: https://wiki.apache.org/nutch/ThirdReport?action=diff&rev1=10&rev2=11 Main goal of this project is to create an Apache Wicket-based Web GUI for Apache Nutch 2.X. == Review of Previous Actions == - * Change entire build structure to Ant + Ivy as per existing 2.x codebase - == Objectives == - '''To be completed by student''' + == Objectives == + + == Change build structure to Ant + Ivy== + Project has been switched to Ant + Ivy build system and integrated into 2.x codebase. There were some issues concerning this move. One of them was library dependencies, for example nutch is tightly coupled with hbase and hadoop, and they are dependent from outdated jersey and jetty. So, I downgraded dependencies of my project and had rewritten relevant parts of application. + + === Add instances management === + The main issue concerning this objective were implementation of connection status checks. I'd done it with a constant polling of nutch API servers. But what application should to do, if nutch server is going down? + + === Logs by REST API === + Ability to get logs is very important in order to understand exceptional situations. However, I would propose to implement additional API point, which can answer, if connection with hbase and indexing server is established, because for now, it is not that easy to understand, if something is going wrong and recover from exceptional situation. + + === Fix seed management UI layout === + UI of seed management component is not that good, we should decide how to improve it. For example, ability to add url regex filters would be nice. + + === Add some security support === + The main problem concerning security in this project is how much security we want. Actually, we already have embedded database support, so it's possible to create system with a roles, users and so on. Or we can stick with just a simple username/password without separate users. + === Run application on ASF dedicated virtual machine === + + === Cover application with unit tests === + Tests are quite important. I had tried to develop this application with TDD approach, but I'd failed it because of continuous refactorings. Anyway, I would cover application with tests when codebase will be stable enough. == Contributions to Nutch community == - - '''To be completed by student''' == Future Actions ==
