Hi All, I have a huge apology to make on this one. I thought that there was no interest in this proposal and therefore dropped it for the time being. I reach out specifically to Claudio and Eli respectively here and apologise entirely for not getting back to you guys.
So the questions (respectively) were the following 1. I do not see a direct connection between giraph and nutch, except if you want to run ranking/PageRank on the indexed stuff. But in that case, the integration is quite trivial and boils down to the inputformat. Could you develop your ideas further please? 2. Like an internship project? I might know some people. Or did you have someone in mind? My answers are as follows 1. We anticipate the delegation of our LinkRank (PageRank implementation) mechanism a graph library like Apache Giraph. This could remove a bit of code from Nutch and would hopefully be more efficient. I am well aware of your contributions to Nutch Claudio :0) I think that your input here would be extremely helpful in helping us get this off of the ground. You can read a bit more about the justification behind this here. [0] 2. The Google Summer of Code project runs every year and I have been getting interested and involved in it these last few years. I was looking for the following - Someone who is a student as of this May - Someone who is interested in working with Giraph for graph processing (ideally an existing member of the Giraph community however this is not a MUST). - Someone who is interested in a Page Rank implementation within Giraph which could be utilised within Nutch (ideally also familiar with graph structures produced by a crawler such as Nutch... however again not a MUST). Honestly if you have any potential student candidates in mind, please reach out to them. Additionally any feedback on the above would be excellent. I appreciate that this reply is well, well overdue but I think the project would be a great one to get off the ground and could be the beginning of forming a nice bridge between out communities. Thank you very much in advance. Lewis [0] http://www.infoq.com/articles/nioche-apache-nutch2 -- *Lewis*
