James Sullivan created NUTCH-1475: ------------------------------------- Summary: Nutch 2.1 Index-More Plugin -- A better fall back value for date field Key: NUTCH-1475 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1475 Project: Nutch Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: nutchgora, 2.1 Environment: All Reporter: James Sullivan Priority: Minor Attachments: index-more-2x.patch
Among other fields, the more plugin for Nutch 2.x provides a "last modified" and "date" field for the Solr index. The "last modified" field is the last modified date from the http headers if available, if not available it is left empty. Currently, the "date" field is the same as the "last modified" field unless that field is empty in which case getFetchTime is used as a fall back. I think getFetchTime is not a good fall back as it is the next fetch time and often a month or more in the future which doesn't make sense for the date field. Users do not expect webpages/documents with future dates. A more sensible fallback would be current date at the time it is indexed. This is possible by simply changing line 97 of https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/nutch/branches/2.x/src/plugin/index-more/src/java/org/apache/nutch/indexer/more/MoreIndexingFilter.java from time = page.getFetchTime(); // use fetch time to time = new Date().getTime(); Users interested in the getFetchTime value can still get it from the "tstamp" field. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
