HostNormalizer
--------------
Key: NUTCH-1319
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1319
Project: Nutch
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Markus Jelsma
Assignee: Markus Jelsma
Fix For: 1.5
Nutch would benefit from having a host normalizer. A host normalizer maps a
given host to the desired host. A basic example is to map www.apache.org to
apache.org. The Apache website is one of many on the internet that has a
duplicate website on the same domain just because it allows both www and
non-www to return HTTP 200 and proper content.
It is also able to handle wildcards such as *.example.org to example.org if
there are multiple sub domains that actually point to the same website.
Large internet crawls tend to get polluted very quickly due to these problems.
It also leads to skewed scores in the webgraph as different websites link to
different versions of the same duplicate website.
