Sorry, but I have to turn my +1 into a -1.

There's a regression introduced recently which makes the Fetcher
always run with a single reduce task, even in distributed mode,
if more reducers have been configured. See
  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-3201

This regression is a blocker - I'll withdraw the current release
candidate RC#1 and prepare a new one during the next days.

The regression was even visible in the logs while testing,
but I didn't grab it:

.../apache-nutch-1.23/runtime/deploy/bin/nutch fetch \
    -Dmapreduce.job.reduces=2 -Dmapreduce.reduce.speculative=false \
    -Dmapreduce.map.speculative=false -Dmapreduce.map.output.compress=true \
    -D fetcher.timelimit.mins=2 crawl/segments/20260730193011 -threads 5

        Job Counters
                Launched map tasks=2
                Launched reduce tasks=1

Best,
Sebastian

Hi Seb,
Thanks for preparing the 1.23 RC. Excellent job.
Here's my +1.

- Rat checks pass
- sigs pass local checks
- Jenkins CI passes 
(https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Nutch/job/Nutch-Smoke-Test-Single-Node-Hadoop-Cluster/55/)
- local single node hadoop some tests pass indexing using Solr 8.X backend

Other note: during reviewing this RC I decided to log 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-3194 which has the added benefit of 
being used/triggered whenever we create a tag. I will likely implement this 
post release.

Thank you

P.S.

Here is my +1.

- Tested most of Nutch tools and run a test crawl on a single-node cluster
   running Hadoop 3.5.0, see
   https://github.com/sebastian-nagel/nutch-test-single-node-cluster/

- Building from source package succeeds

- Crawling in local mode using the binary package succeeded

- Indexing crawled content into Solr 8.11.4

- Built and run a Nutch Docker container (using the release branch)

- Verified Javadocs
