I am evaluating nutch+lucene as a crawl and search solution.
However, I am finding major bugs in nutch right off the bat.
In particular, NUTCH-119: nutch is not crawling relative URLs. I have some
discussion of it here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg08644.html
Most of the links off www.variety.com, one of my main test sites, have relative
URLs. It seems incredible that nutch, which is capable of mapreduce, cannot
fetch these URLs.
It could be that I would fix this bug if, for other reasons, I decide to go
with nutch+lucene. Has anyone tried fixing this problem? Is it intractable?
Or are the developers, who are just volunteers anyway, more interested in
fixing other problems?
Could someone outline the issue for me a bit more clearly so I would know how
to evaluate it?
Both this one and the other site you were mentioning (sf911truth) have
more than 100 outlinks. Nutch, by default, only stores 100 outlinks
per page (db.max.outlinks.per.page). Link about.html happens to be
105th link or so, so nutch doesn't store it. All you have to do is
either increase db.max.outlinks.per.page or set it to -1 (which
means, store all outlinks).
