Doug Cutting commented on NUTCH-240:
------------------------------------

First, I hope my critical remarks were not taken personally.  I am thankful for 
this and all of your contributions.

> Initially, I did as you suggest, i.e. I created a method to calculate one 
> float value for the purpose of selecting topN. However, I wanted to avoid 
> changing CrawlDatum.compareTo - if we put ScoringFilters there, it would be a 
> big performance hit. OTOH, if we overwrite the primitive float in 
> CrawlDatum.score it seemed to me we should store its earlier value, and then 
> possibl restore - as the value for selecting topN may have nothing to do with 
> the "real" score. 

In Generate.java, can't we just change the key type in the first pass to be a 
FloatWritable holding the score, and the value to be <CrawlDatum,Url>?  Then 
we'd never alter the CrawlDatum and there'd be no need to restore it.

> passScoreBeforeParsing/passScoreAfterParsing: again, I agree it looks 
> strange, but that's what we do at the moment, I just extracted it into an 
> interface. I'd love to skip this altogether, if there is a way.

I think we should spend a little more time thinking about how to make this a 
nice API before we start having folks implement it.  Once an interface is 
added, it's much harder to change.  I don't have much time to spend on this 
today, but might next week.

> This patch refactors all places where Nutch manipulates page scores, into a 
> plugin-based API. Using this API it's possible to implement different scoring 
> algorithms. It is also much easier to understand how scoring works.
> Multiple scoring plugins can be run in sequence, in a manner similar to 
> URLFilters.
> Included is also an OPICScoringFilter plugin, which contains the current 
> implementation of the scoring algorithm. Together with the scoring API it 
> provides a fully backward-compatible scoring.
