Thorsten Scherler commented on DROIDS-54:
-----------------------------------------

I agree to simplify Link, Task and LinkTask since the extra information that we 
need for task can now be stored in the map.

> Make LinkTask supports arbitrary data by extends HashMap, and consider to 
> refactor Task, Link, and LinkTask

> The current implementation of LinkTask
> {code}
> public class LinkTask implements Link, Serializable
> {
>   private Date started;
>   private final int depth;
>   private final URI uri;
>   private final Link from;
>   
>   private Date lastModifedDate;
>   private Collection<URI> linksTo;
>   private String anchorText;
>   private int weight;
> {code}
> Suggested change:
> {code}
> public class LinkTask extends HashMap<String, Serializable> 
> or
> public class LinkTask extends HashMap<String, Serializable> implements Link
> {code}
> The minimum required attributes are:
>  - final ? id, 
>    - mainly to have a minimum size value as hash key and store in memory/data 
> grid for lookup, e.g. for use as history to avoid duplicated fetching. refer 
> to DROIDS-53 
>  - final String url
>    - the original String representation of the URL (preferred), or 
> java.net.URI representation with the encoded string (seems no good).
>    - the url is the original one provided by the user in construction. two 
> diff url may refer to the same url, e.g. http://www.apache.org and 
> http://www.apache.org/, it's up to the user to decide if they should be 
> normalized. (and they could use the URL/LinkNormalizer in DROIDS-45
> the other fields are basically optional. 
>   - started/taskDate, if the queue use it for sorting, then it's useful, 
> otherwise, it's just for logging.
>   -  "weight" is another example that not all implementation may need. 
>   - "linksTo", a.k.a. outLinks, is also optional to be attached to the 
> LinkTask. an implementation may extract the outlink and put them in queue 
> directly without storing the outlinks in the LinkTask. 
>   - "from", a.k.a. referrer, should not store the Link reference as it will 
> affect GC. 
> btw, should we also simplify Link, Task and LinkTask?  if we use a Map, it's 
> very generic already. Link and Task could be different concepts if we need to 
> use them separately.
