Yossi Tamari commented on NUTCH-1842:
-------------------------------------
[~wastl-nagel], I agree. The reason I chose to change the code is that I prefer
to "surprise" advanced users (who look in the code), than regular users. But I
can also see the counter-argument ("basic users have never read/changed this
property, so they won't notice if we change it").
> crawl.gen.delay has a wrong default value in nutch-default.xml or is being
> parsed incorrectly

> Key: NUTCH-1842
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1842
> Project: Nutch
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: generator
> Affects Versions: 1.9
> Reporter: kaveh minooie
> Assignee: Sebastian Nagel
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.16
>
>
> this is from nutch-default.xml:
> <property>
> <name>crawl.gen.delay</name>
> <value>604800000</value>
> <description>
> This value, expressed in milliseconds, defines how long we should keep the
> lock on records
> in CrawlDb that were just selected for fetching. If these records are not
> updated
> in the meantime, the lock is canceled, i.e. they become eligible for
> selecting.
> Default value of this is 7 days (604800000 ms).
> </description>
> </property>
> this is the from o.a.n.crawl.Generator.configure(JobConf job)
> genDelay = job.getLong(GENERATOR_DELAY, 7L) * 3600L * 24L * 1000L;
> the value in config file is in milliseconds but the code expect it to be in
> days. I reported this couple of years ago on the mailing list as well. I
> didn't post a patch becaue I am not sure which one needs to be fixed.
> considering all the other values in config file are in milliseconds it can be
> argued to that consistency matters, but 'day' is a much more reasonable unit
> for this property.
> Also this value is not being used in 2.x ?
