A very first preview of a plugin that helps to simulate crawls. This
protocol plugin can be used to replace the http protocol plugin and
return defined content during a fetch. To simulate custom scenarios a
interface names Simulator can be implemented with just one method.
The plugin comes with a very simple basic Simulator implementation,
however this already allows to simulate the by today known nutch
scoring problems, like pages pointing to itself or link chains. For
more details see the java doc, however I plan to improve the java doc
with a native speaker.
Feedback is welcome.
One must also remember that proper junit testing can be used to verify
functionality.
There's lot of code currently that is not guarded by unit tests and I
hereby invite everybody to participate in this endless effort and make
Nutch unit tests better ;)
