As it stands now with whats in trunk under 0.9-dev, one of the biggest problems is the version of Hadoop we have included. It fails on anything above 200k URLs, and should be considered a "blocker" issue. Its my understanding that Andrzej has a newer Hadoop JAR with some custom patches applied, but hasn't had the time yet to commit them back to Nutch. When he does get the chance, some testing will need to be initiated and I can be a small help there. Not to make it sound like the end of the world, but since almost everything in Nutch revolves around Hadoop we should get this issue corrected before we make other "big" plans for fixes and changes.

Seems like I am the guy that is going to do the Nutch 0.9 release :-) However, it seems also that there are some issues that need to be sorted out first. I'd like to follow up to Andrzej's email about loose ends before moving forward with the release. So, here are my questions: 1. What remaining issues out there need to be applied to the sources, (or have patches contributed, then applied) and make it into 0.9? There were some discussions about this, however, I don't think we have a concrete set yet. The answer I'm looking for would be something like: A. NUTCH-XXX (has a patch), NUTCH-YYY (has a patch) before 0.9 is made B. NUTCH-ZZZ (patch in progress) before 0.9 is made C. We've got enough in 0.9-dev in the trunk right now to make a 0.9 release 2. Any outstanding things that need to get done that aren't really code that needs to get committed, e.g., things we need to close the loop on 3. Release Manager: I've got this taken care of, as soon as you all give me the green light. So, please, committer-brethren, let me know what you think about 1-3, as it would help me understand how to move forward. Thanks! Cheers, Chris
