Ying Andrews created DROIDS-175:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Add "stop" functionality to the Droid
Key: DROIDS-175
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DROIDS-175
Project: Droids
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: Ying Andrews
I would like to propose to add a new method called "stop()" in Droid classes:
Droid, AbstractDroid, and TaskMaster to terminate a running droid object and
clear up any associated resources.
Background: I was integrating Droids with a search application which can take
advantage of MultiThreadedTaskManager. Existing implementation of Droid (i.e.
AbstractDroid and CrawlingDroid) does not allow easy access to stop the droid
and clear the resources such as to clear the queue, clear the history and
shutdown the pool used by multi-threaded task master even though the
MultiThreadedTaskManager has a public method called "stop()" to shutdown the
thread pool.
Justification: I realize when I add a front UI for user to configure the
crawler, it's very common for users to add or edit starting URLs, then stop the
crawler and restart the crawler with the new configuration. So it would be nice
to expose the stop() functionality for the crawler, task master and droid.
