Paul Baclace updated NUTCH-150:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: OutlinkExtractor.java.patch

This patch has 3 changes:

1. Adds a comment that non-plain-text can be a problem.
2. Adds quantifiers to the regular expression to limit length of matched text.
3. Monitors the time spent doing matching and if more than 60 seconds, it will 
stop looking for additional matches (this does not prevent the first lengthy 
match). 


> OutlinkExtractor extremely slow on some non-plain text

>      Project: Nutch
>         Type: Bug
>     Versions: 0.8-dev
>  Environment: All
>     Reporter: Paul Baclace
>     Priority: Minor
>  Attachments: OutlinkExtractor.java.patch
>
> While using mime settings which aggressively parsed everything by default, 
> rather than having conf/parse-plugins.xml  associate parse-default with *, 
> some parse tasks took an incredibly long time to finish.  For instance, a 
> single postscript file took 9 hours to parse.  Stacktraces indicated this to 
> be a problem with OutlinkExtractor.getOutlinks(...) during the call to reg 
> expr match().  
> Analysis:  The regular expression matching in 
> OutlinkExtractor.getOutlinks(...) encounters parasitic cases which have 
> extremely long runtimes when non-plain-text is processed.
> Workaround 1:  Avoid treating non-plain-text, especially postscript files, as 
> text or html.
> Workaround 2:  kill -SIGQUIT  the child TaskRunner process, this will 
> interrupt the match() and the process will continue.  This might need to be 
> done multiple times.  (In theory, SIGQUIT is not supposed to do this, but in 
> practice it does.)
