Lewis John McGibbney commented on NUTCH-1525:
---------------------------------------------

[~sabio], thank you for the patch. I totally forgot about this issue. 
Can we verify if we are able to derive Hadoop counters as well as/instead of 
simple logging?
If we can obtain counters then it is much easier to analyze the number of 
external links we filter.

> Generator to record external links even when  db.ignore.external.links set to 
> true

> When fetching pages from specific domains we have various options e.g. use 
> urlfilters, set the above property to true before injecting urls into the 
> webdb etc. However with the former, it is recognised that complex regex can 
> slow down processing and with the latter it means we disregard a number of 
> urls which could potentially become useful in the future.
> Unfortunately there is no way to record external links encountered for future 
> processing, although the wiki suggests that a very small patch to the 
> generator code can allow you to log these links to hadoop.log. although this 
> is better, a more robusts storage mechanism would be preferred. This may tie 
> in with custom counters we've already specified or may require new counters 
> to be implemented.
