Perhaps we need to factor Nutch into two projects, one with NDFS and MapReduce and the other with the search-specific code. This falls almost exactly on package lines. The packages org.apache.nutch.{io,ipc,fs,ndfs,mapred} are not dependent on the rest of Nutch.


FYI, over on the nutch-dev list, I just proposed that we split these packages into a new project that Nutch then depends on, since there seems to be interest in using them independently of Nutch. Such a split probably wouldn't happen for at least a month.

Awesome, thanks Doug! I really believe that having this out as a separate project will be more useful for everyone. This will also give more exposure to Nutch and Lucene as a whole, because people will experiment with the NDFS/MapReduce stuff first (smaller thing to comprehend first).

cheers,

Paul
