Note: I'm a newbie. As far as I know, new scoring and scoring-link corresponds to LinkRank. It's implemented in the scoring.webgraph package. The code in the scoring-link might be linking the scoring plugin system to the LinkRank class in webgraph.
1) Yes it works for sorting the pages. The topN most important-seeming pages are fetched in the next cycles according to this scoring. 2) Relevance in retrieval is affected due to (1). It calculates the scores and gives them to Solr. Solr will rank the search results according to these scores and some other external custom scores. ----- Orijinal Mesaj ----- Kimden: "Joe Zhang" <[email protected]> Kime: "user" <[email protected]> Gönderilenler: 15 Haziran Cumartesi 2013 23:41:33 Konu: Nutch scoring question again The plugins directory only contains two scoring plugs: scoring-link and scoring-opic. What about the newscoring, linkrank, etc.? Where are they available? Again, I'm confused about the nature/purpose of such scoring: 1. Does it work as a sorting function for the frontier of the crawling? --> this seems reasonable. 2. Or does it affect relevance in retrieval? If so, why is it handled in the crawler, but not solr? I'd greatly appreciate any enlightment.
