Lewis John McGibbney commented on NUTCH-2184: --------------------------------------------- Hi [~markus17] I need to finish the bloody MR tests over at https://github.com/apache/nutch/pull/95. I am very tight on cycles right now. If you can pick up the patch and want to work with it then by all means please go ahead ;) > Enable IndexingJob to function with no crawldb > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: NUTCH-2184 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2184 > Project: Nutch > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: indexer > Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney > Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney > Fix For: 1.14 > > Attachments: NUTCH-2184.patch, NUTCH-2184v2.patch > > > Sometimes when working with distributed team(s), we have found that we can > 'loose' data structures which are currently considered as critical e.g. > crawldb, linkdb and/or segments. > In my current scenario I have a requirement to index segment data with no > accompanying crawldb or linkdb. > Absence of the latter is OK as linkdb is optional however currently in > [IndexerMapReduce|https://github.com/apache/nutch/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/nutch/indexer/IndexerMapReduce.java] > crawldb is mandatory. > This ticket should enhance the IndexerMapReduce code to support the use case > where you ONLY have segments and want to force an index for every record > present. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
