Hi Everyone,

It has been a long time coming but I have finally started to write a
book on Nutch.  It will be self published and should be available in PDF
/ paperback form in less than a month hopefully.

A while back we discussed a Nutch training seminar on the list.  I am
not ready to do a full on seminar yet but I will be putting up some
training and tutorial videos in the next few weeks.  I will update the
list as those become available.

I already have a general outline but it would help me to know the following:

1) What types of things you would want explained in a book / videos on
Nutch?
2) What are the biggest problems you face using Nutch?
3) Anything special you would like answered or explained?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Dennis

Dennis,

One topic that had taken me a long time to figure out and lots of people have been having issues with is doing an incremental index.  I don't think it was documented anywhere and it would be great if you could cover it.

Thanks,

Alex

I'd like to second this- ties in to hadoop and other ways to analyze your index are a big mystery to me when dealing with nutch!

Wow, really glad to see this moving forward.  With Manning I'm guessing??

My top advice:
* Debugging, Debugging, DEBUGGING!!!!!!

I imagine you'd have a lot of ideas on this.  In additional, I'd suggest:
* Systematically break different parts of the system and record the
symptoms, error messages, etc.

Also:
* I agree with Alex about incremental indexing
* Setting up spidering for a lot of specific sites, how do you handle rules
for hundreds of sites
* As above, but also debuping www vs non-www prefix URLs from the same site
* Detailed setup on Windows, including an outline of cygwin install and
different path syntaxes
* AND/or perhaps a rewrite in Windows CMD
* Integrating with Solr.  Yes, Nutch 1.0 had some prelim integration.  And
Lucid Imagination has an article on it.  HOWEVER there needs to be a lot
more info, like meta data fields, etc.  Tradeoffs
* Managing from a web GUI
* A WARNING to always carefully check the Nutch matches Google brings back.
For some reason it obsesses about 0.7 pages, but of course things changed
quite a bit in 0.8.
* A complete walk through setting up a debugging environment with Eclipse.
To do real work you'd need 3 Eclipse projects setup, so Lucene, Solr and
Nutch, with project linkages and sync'd source versions.  And when you
checkout Java code from ASF you can't just use the ant file to import into
Ecliipse, it doesn't work right.
* Also a bit about using patches and the patch submission process, again
assuming Eclipse and covering any differences on Windows and Linux
* Integrating with Open Pipeline or UIMA or whatever other flexible pipeline
you like
* Complex encoded URLs
* Spider traps
* Automatic restart on reboot, for Linux, Windows and Mac
* Integrating filter packs for old and new MS Office and PDF files
* CACHING with Squid or Apache or something, so that when you need to re-run
over and over and over again to debug your document processing, you don't
have to keep hitting the sites. I've seen two instances of where this was
attempted but it didn't seem to work as expected, though I never found out
why.
* Benchmarking approximations: Assuming decent Internet connectivity, how
much can you do with a single Nutch box (pick some stock configuration)
* It'd be nice if you could include benchmarks comparing stock SATA drives
to fast SCSI / Raid / Fiber.  My advice is to stick with stock drives unless
a project demonstrates that it needs caviar level storage, BUT I could be
wrong, and this is certainly counter to what some of the enterprise search
vendors advise.  Some projects are small enough that they actually DON'T
need high scalability - maybe they only need to index 10,000 pages on a LAN.
* SATA RAID vs non-raided sata drives - some RAID can actually slow down
writes.
* Overhead (or benefit) of NAS, SAN, iSCSI
* What is the initial hit in performance when going from a single box to a
multibox configuration.  In other words there is some overhead in
distributing work - in one system I was consulted on it actually seemed to
be *VERY* high, though I didn't have access to that system so never got to
the bottom of it, but in many setups the client reported MUCH FASTER
spidering with a 1 box setup than a 3 box setup - this seemed pretty
consistent for them.  I'm not suggesting you debug this per se, I just
suggesting you do actual benchmarks in your book, believe no one!
* Setting up Nutch in the Amazon Cloud, and specific issues with the various
temp directories, "local drives" and persistent drives.  Benchmarks.
* Issues (if any) with VMWare, Xen and Microsoft HyperV virtual machines
* Grabbing enough security metadata at spider/index time to do early binding
security.  Basically fetching the ACL info and injecting it in.  This needs
coordination on the client side, like from Solr.
* Aging of your Nutch segments.  When do you really need to blow away
everything and start from scratch.
* How do you recover from an interrupted / crashed spider / index run that
took days or weeks to run (so you don't want to "just start over")

I totally agree with the points that Mark shared I expecially feel urgent
the point about describing  "Grabbing enough security metadata at
spider/index time to do early binding"
and possibly what are the extension point to write to a different
index (not Lucene/Solr)
That brings the topic of configuring a development environment  with a
proper Eclipse set up

"re-crawling and controlling that process seems like an issue in need of
covering to me"

I am also very interested in knowing that better ..
But also better strategies for crawling a single site and some benchmarks,
linking configuration to performance.

"... configuring a development environment  with a
proper Eclipse set up"

"Automatic restart on reboot..."

Those also interest me
Looking forward to it

+1 for information on benchmarks and performance tuning in all phases
starting from crawl. If the focus could be on production quality
deployments - typical hardware, configuration settings and the like -
that would help a lot.

Thanks
Hemanth

Hi Dennis,

I think you should include info on:

- Data structures and data flow in Nutch, since understanding of these helps understand other things better;
- Common problems, solutions, troubleshooting and tuning, because everyone working with Nutch faces these issues sooner or later.

Regards,

Arkadi

I would like one chapter on how to configure Nutch for focus crawling.. best
practices and strategies... especially to avoid host-blocking.

I wanted to thank everyone for all the great responses.  It really helps
in putting together information that will be useful to everyone.

I am in also process of launching a blog about nutch/hadoop too and am
working to get the first post (with video) done and up.  I will update
the list when that is finished.

I need to know how to be able to integrate nutch with solr
 and also track the index time of an article on solr then sort...if you book
can use such a case study you got my buy on that

Writing plugins is one of the most important & something  on which not so
many comprehending tutorials are available .we also
doesn't have any video tutorial for any of them .also if you add nutch
+hadoop that will be very cool .

I will be available for any help.

I would definetely want to see answers on questions about distributed
search.

Starting from crawling, - how to make it in distributed mode, where to store
collected pages and indexes
and ending questions about relevancy of results abtained from different
search servers.
