The "GoogleSummerOfCode/SitemapCrawler" page has been changed by CihadGuzel:

Comment:
Sitemap Crawler page for GSoC 2015 is created

New page:
== Abstract ==

The url’s can be got from only pages that were scanned before in nutch crawler 
system. This method is expensive. Also, the degrees of importance and “change 
frequance” of these urls are not known only guessed. But, it is possible to 
find the whole of urls in a up-to-date sitemap file. For this reason, sitemap 
files in website should be crawled. Nutch project will have that support of 
sitemap crawler thanks to this development.

== Introduction ==

Sitemap is a file guiding to crawl website in a better way and it has different 
file formats (such as simple text format, xml format, rss 2.0, atom 0.3 & 1.0). 

It is possible to find the whole of urls in a up-to-date sitemap file. Websites 
can be crawled faster by means of sitemap crawler that will be developed. In 
addition, some knowledge can be detected such as “change frequance”, “last 
update time” and “the priority” of the pages. Shortly, a better url list will 
be got easily and fast from sitemap file thanks to this software. It is another 
advantage that this process is under the control of the user. Finally, when the 
project concluded;

 * Nutch project will have that support of sitemap crawler thanks to this 
development.
 * Better url list will be got by eliminating the sitemaps according to 
criteria of quality.
 * The sitemaps not wanted can be ignored
 * Sitemap crawler can be followed by reporting the errors occuring during 
crawling. 
 * The management and configuration of sitemap crawler are under the control of 
user.

== Project Details: ==

It is aimed to power nutch project by sitemap crawler support. The main target 
is to detect the sitemap having correct urls and to be crawled. It is easy and 
fast to find correct ursl by sitemap crawler. The software will make following 
features possible.

 1. '''sitemap detection:''' Sitemap files will be detected automatically, if 
available.
      
 * '''sitemap list injection:''' Sitemap urls will be injected by using Nutch 
injection 

 * '''sitemap blacklist:''' The sitemaps urls that are not wanted to be crawled 
can be blocked.

 * '''sitemap ranking mechanism & sitemap filter:''' The sitemaps will be 
eliminated according to criteria of quality. The urls in sitemap will be 
prioritised according to priority points.
             
 * '''The current nutch ranking mechanism will not be changed according to the 
sitemap urls.'''

 * '''The crawler can be support  diffently sitemap format(simple text format, 
xml format, rss 2.0, atom 0.3 & 1.0) :''' Only XML formats will be crawled for 
now. The support of other formats is out of project. 

 * '''“Change frequence” mechanism must be supported by the crawler.'''

 * '''Errors and info data will be reported.'''

 * '''Supporting multi-sitemap.'''

 * '''Sitemap constraint:''' The maximum sitemap size can not be greater than 
10 MB and  the maximum urls can not be greater than 50,000 in a sitemap file.

 * '''Sitemaps must have only inlink. Outlinks must be ignored.'''

 * '''Firstly sitemap crawler will support HBase. Other DB’s are not supported 
in this project.'''

 * '''Sitemap crawler is the part of Nutch Life Cycle [3].''' Sitemap crawler 
is designed according to these cases:
  * Sitemap urls can be injected from seedlist.
  * Sitemap files can be detected automatically from sites crawled.
  * It can be wanted to crawl only sitemaps.
  * It can be wanted to crawl urls except sitemap.
  * A sitemap file can give referance another sitemap file.
  * Sitemap file can be in zip format.
  * Sitemap file may be larger than 50mb. In case of this some limits must be 
defined.
  * Sitemaps file may include more url than 50,000. In case of this some limits 
must be defined.

The advatages of the process of developing project.
 1. The new features that will be developed can be entegrated easily thanks to 
the nutch pluginer design and nutch life cycle. 
 * The current nutch plugins can be used.
 * There are some studies about sitemap crawler in Nutch project  (NUTCH-1741 
[1], NUTCH-1465 [2]). The process improves by taking hand  the weak and strong 
sides of the project 

== Timeline: ==

Project development process can be divided into two steps. Firstly, nutch 
crawler life cycle will be updated for sitemap crawler. Sitemap will be crawled 
in a simple way before midterm.
In the next stage, Other issues will be completed such as sitemap detection, 
filter & ranking mechanizm, documentation and tests.

===== Pre-GSoC =====
The studies and the comments on NUTCH-1741 [1] and NUTCH-1465 [2] will be 
followed. 

  * Week1 (25May-31May): sitemap url injection will be done. 
  * Week2 (1June-7June): Sitemap detection will be done. FetcherJob will be 
updated for   sitemap.
  * Week3-4 (8June-21June): The parser process is updated for sitemap file 
parser. New parser plugins can be developed. 
  * Week5 (22June-28June): DbUpdaterJob is updated for sitemap.
  * Midterm(26June-3 July): Bu kısma kadar sİtemap yaşam döngüsü ana hatlarıyla 
implemente edilmiş olacaktır. Yapılanlar ve yapılacaklar değerlendirilecektir. 
Sitemap crawlera basitçe çalışır hale getirilmiş olacaktır.
  * Week6-7 (29June-12July): Sitemap ranking mechanism will be developed.
  * Week8 (13July-19July): Sitemap black list, sitemap file detection yapılacak 
ve error detection yapılacak
  * Week9 (20July-26July): Frequent mechanism will be developed
  * Week10 (27July-2Agust): The filter plugins will be updated or new filter 
plugins is will be developed.
  * Week11 (3Agust-9Agust): Code review and code cleaning.
  * Week12-13 (10Agust-23Agust): Further refine tests and documentation for the 
whole project.


==== Features that will be developed after GSOC: ====
