Hi developers,
just a comment about the planed porting of tools to actions. Related to: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-27 (Patch to get a status of running Fetcher)
I suggest that all action have a api to query status information.
This will be very helpful for things like writing jmx adapters to actions (I'm still believe on this idea :-)) or a web based admin interface for nutch.
May be in some case it make sense to have a api for setting configuration values as well, since this can be very helpful to fine tune processes like fetching.
However this is very difficult since actions need to be notified or monitor configuration changes, what is may be a performance issue.
If Andrzej agree I would close Nutch-27 since this is obsolete with the porting plans. Just to improve the issue statistics. :-)
