Dennis Kubes commented on NUTCH-828:
------------------------------------
Nice. I didn't realize the signature update would do that. I am assuming
since ParseUtil doesn't interact with the CrawlDatum we are going to have to
call the FetchFilters (I am ok with renaming this btw) twice, once in the
fetcher and once in the ParseSegment, both dealing with their respective
CrawlDatum needs?

> Adds a Nutch extension point for a fetch filter. The fetch filter allows
> filtering content and parse data/text after it is fetched but before it is
> written to segments. The fliter can return true if content is to be written
> or false if it is not.
> Some use cases for this filter would be topical search engines that only want
> to fetch/index certain types of content, for example a news or sports only
> search engine. In these types of situations the only way to determine if
> content belongs to a particular set is to fetch the page and then analyze the
> content. If the content passes, meaning belongs to the set of say sports
> pages, then we want to include it. If it doesn't then we want to ignore it,
> never fetch that same page in the future, and ignore any urls on that page.
> If content is rejected due to a fetch filter then its status is written to
> the CrawlDb as gone and its content is ignored and not written to segments.
> This effectively stop crawling along the crawl path of that page and the urls
> from that page. An example filter, fetch-safe, is provided that allows
> fetching content that does not contain a list of bad words.
