Hi
A newbie to the world of lucene, nutch , mahout, spent all weekend on Mahout,
and now looking at Nutch. So I have a question, its seems (after reading the
archives) that alot of people are using Nutch to index the web, whether for
vertical searches, or just the web as a whole. Now rather than everyone
starting again from scratch, and since very little (if any) "IP" would exist in
the index, since nothing clever has been done to them except being processed by
Nutch, would it not be possible to "share" all these indexes with each other,
i.e if someone has built an index of all blogs, or all car related websites, or
just indexed 100 million webpages at random. Maybe there is some tech reason I
am missing.
