Chris A. Mattmann commented on NUTCH-139: ----------------------------------------- Hi Jerome, >org.apache.nutch.parse.ParseData > * The constructor becomes ParseData(ParseStatus, String, Outlink[], > ContentProperties) > * This class holds two metadata sets : > 1. ContentProperties for the original metadata set which came from > protocol > 2. MetaDataProperties for the parse metadata set. Wouldn't the constructor be: ParseData(ParseStatus, String, Outlink[], ContentProperties, ParseProperties) ? Other than that, this sounds wonderful! I will contact you off list to get started on implementing this, if everyone else involved agrees.

Stefan G. I believe proposed a > solution in which all property names be converted to lower case, but in > essence this really only fixes half the problem right (the case of > identifying that "CONTENT_TYPE" > and "conTeNT_TyPE" and all the permutations are really the same). What about > if I named it "Content Type", or "ContentType"? > I propose that a way to correct this would be to create a standard set of > named Strings in the ParseData class that the protocol framework and the > parsing framework could use to identify common properties such as > "Content-type", "Creator", "Language", etc. > The properties would be defined at the top of the ParseData class, something > like: > public class ParseData{ > ..... > public static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "content-type"; > public static final String CREATOR = "creator"; > .... > } > In this fashion, users could at least know what the name of the standard > properties that they can obtain from the ParseData are, for example by making > a call to ParseData.getMetadata().get(ParseData.CONTENT_TYPE) to get the > content type or a call to ParseData.getMetadata().set(ParseData.CONTENT_TYPE, > "text/xml"); Of course, this wouldn't preclude users from doing what they are > currently doing, it would just provide a standard method of obtaining some of > the more common, critical metadata without pouring over the code base to > figure out what they are named. > I'll contribute a patch near the end of the this week, or beg. of next week > that addresses this issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
