Andrzej Bialecki commented on NUTCH-535:
-----------------------------------------
I also noticed (in a job unrelated to Nutch) that Hadoop sometimes re-uses the
same object instance, so this problem may appear in other places too. We should
review all Nutch Writable-s that they are properly reset to their initial state
when readFields is invoked.
Minor nit: instead of creating new Metadata in readFields we can invoke
metadata.clear(). This way we don't create new Metadata objects, and still get
an empty metadata instance.

> After NUTCH-506, if you run parse on a segment, parseData's contentMeta
> accumulates metadata of every content parsed so far. This is because
> NUTCH-506 changed constructor to create a new metadata (before NUTCH-506, a
> new metadata was created for every call to readFields). It seems hadoop
> somehow caches Content instance so each new call to Content.readFields during
> ParseSegment increases size of metadata. Because of this, one can end up with
> *huge* parse_data directory (something like 10 times larger than content
> directory)
