Hi Lewis,
Great and thanks for your reply.
I'll do that then.
If it helps, I'm an Apache committer from another project ages ago. I
would love to be involved in this particular area of Nutch going
forward, especially if this because a well-used feature. Let me know how
we could go about this, if you think its a good idea.
Regards,
Lajos

I had raised this issue a few months ago, as I had the exact same
problem. It cannot be solved by configuration, because of the way
that the MappingReader puts fields in Maps.
I solved this by implementing a custom plugin that further would
support some basic transformations, ala Solr DIH.
I proposed this as a contribution, but the only feedback comment
didn't get the use case. Given you have the exact same issue, I'd
say it is a useful contribution.
I saw this thread and because I did not reply at the time it fell WAY
off of my radar.
For those interested in seeing the very detailed commentary you can see
it here
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40nutch.apache.org/msg12884.html
The scenario you guys seem sot have is certainly one which justifies
your approach so it sounds like something that we should consider.
Any contribution to Nutch is a welcome one. It seems that this one just
slipped off the radar.
I'll see how/what I can do to get the code available. If a committer
can comment/provide guidelines, I'd appreciate it.
Please open an issue on our Jira tracker and propose a patch based on
the branch you are using (trunk or 2.X). It would be very helpful if we
can apply it against SVN codebase.
Thank you
Lewis
