I'm sorry to reply you late... Nutch is a fundamental piece of SimilarPages architecture, because of its crawling features and for the solid base on which it is built that is Hadoop. Hadoop allows us to make all the computations on the crawled data, it is really a fantastic project! Hadoop gives us some headache sometimes when we need large clusters to perform the computation on the crawled data, especially when there are some instances whith hardware failures where Hadoop is supposed to overcome such situations without problems. Marco co-founder/CTO of SimilarPages is at you disposal for any deeper insight re Nutch/Hadoop implementation if helpful. Here is the page of our site re Nutch/Hadoop http://www.similarpages.com/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8&Itemid=20 We liked Nutch/hadoop projects in our 2 official FB pages: http://www.facebook.com/pages/SimilarPagescom/303352486359786?sk=wall http://www.facebook.com/pages/SimilarPages-A-web-discovery-and-search-addon/149182788451193 A take a tour video here... http://www.similarpages.com/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15&Itemid=4 You can follow me on twitter @MrCappuccini We've finally released the beta of the SimilarPages search engine!!
