[jira] Updated: (NUTCH-762) Alternative Generator which can generate several segments in one parse of the crawlDB
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-762?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Julien Nioche updated NUTCH-762: Fix Version/s: 1.1 Alternative Generator which can generate several segments in one parse of the crawlDB - Key: NUTCH-762 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-762 Project: Nutch Issue Type: New Feature Components: generator Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Julien Nioche Assignee: Julien Nioche Fix For: 1.1 Attachments: NUTCH-762-v2.patch When using Nutch on a large scale (e.g. billions of URLs), the operations related to the crawlDB (generate - update) tend to take the biggest part of the time. One solution is to limit such operations to a minimum by generating several fetchlists in one parse of the crawlDB then update the Db only once on several segments. The existing Generator allows several successive runs by generating a copy of the crawlDB and marking the URLs to be fetched. In practice this approach does not work well as we need to read the whole crawlDB as many time as we generate a segment. The patch attached contains an implementation of a MultiGenerator which can generate several fetchlists by reading the crawlDB only once. The MultiGenerator differs from the Generator in other aspects: * can filter the URLs by score * normalisation is optional * IP resolution is done ONLY on the entries which have been selected for fetching (during the partitioning). Running the IP resolution on the whole crawlDb is too slow to be usable on a large scale * can max the number of URLs per host or domain (but not by IP) * can choose to partition by host, domain or IP Typically the same unit (e.g. domain) would be used for maxing the URLs and for partitioning; however as we can't count the max number of URLs by IP another unit must be chosen while partitioning by IP. We found that using a filter on the score can dramatically improve the performance as this reduces the amount of data being sent to the reducers. The MultiGenerator is called via : nutch org.apache.nutch.crawl.MultiGenerator ... with the following options : MultiGenerator crawldb segments_dir [-force] [-topN N] [-numFetchers numFetchers] [-adddays numDays] [-noFilter] [-noNorm] [-maxNumSegments num] where most parameters are similar to the default Generator - apart from : -noNorm (explicit) -topN : max number of URLs per segment -maxNumSegments : the actual number of segments generated could be less than the max value select e.g. not enough URLs are available for fetching and fit in less segments Please give it a try and less me know what you think of it Julien Nioche http://www.digitalpebble.com -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-762?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Julien Nioche updated NUTCH-762: Attachment: NUTCH-762-v2.patch Improved version of the patch : - fixed a few minor bugs - renamed Generator into OldGenerator - renamed MultiGenerator into Generator - fixed test classes to use new Generator - documented parameters in nutch-default.xml - add names of segments to the LOG to facilitate integration in scripts - PartitionUrlByHost is replaced by URLPartitioner which is more generic I decided to keep the old version for the time being but we might as well get rid of it altogether. The new version is now used in the Crawl class.
