Host database to keep track of host-level information
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: NUTCH-628
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-628
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: fetcher, generator
            Reporter: Otis Gospodnetic


Nutch would benefit from having a DB with per-host/domain/TLD information.  For 
instance, Nutch could detect hosts that are timing out, store information about 
that in this DB.  Segment/fetchlist Generator could then skip such hosts, so 
they don't slow down the fetch job.  Another good use for such a DB is keeping 
track of various host scores, e.g. spam score.

Andrzej said:
The easiest I can imagine is to use something like <Text, MapWritable>.
This way you could store arbitrary information under arbitrary keys.
I.e. a single database then could keep track of aggregate statistics at
different levels, e.g. TLD, domain, host, ip range, etc. The basic set
of statistics could consist of a few predefined gauges, totals and averages.
