[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-153?page=comments#action_12362002 ]
Doug Cutting commented on NUTCH-153: ------------------------------------ Paul, Does http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-160 address this issue too? I.e., is at least part of the problem that oro has some slow cases that Java's built-in regex's do not? > TextParser is only supposed to parse plain text, but if given postscript, it > can take hours and then fail > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NUTCH-153 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-153 > Project: Nutch > Type: Bug > Components: fetcher > Versions: 0.8-dev > Environment: all > Reporter: Paul Baclace > Attachments: TextParser.java.patch > > If TextParser is given postscript, it can take hours and then fail. This can > be avoided with careful configuration, but if the server MIME type is wrong > and the basename of the URL has no "file extension", then the this parser > will take a long time and fail every time. > Analysis: The real problem is OutlinkExtractor.java as reported with bug > NUTCH-150, but the problem cannot be entirely addressed with that patch since > the first call to reg expr match() can take a long time, despite quantifier > limits. > Suggested fix: Reject files with "%!PS-Adobe" in the first 40 characters of > the file. > Actual experience has shown that for safety and fail-safe reasons, it is > worth protecting against GIGO directly in TextParse for this case, even > though the suggested fix is not a general solution. (A general solution > would be a timeout on match().) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
