One thing I would love to do in the future of nutch is to get rid of
all the custom '*-config.xml" files and replace it with a more
standard (well, more accepted) DI container (such as spring or
hivemind [probably hivemind]). It would be nice to be able to
configure each component within nutch in this way. I think it would
really help in "componentizing" the apis (fetcher, indexer, generator
etc) so that they can have more implemenations and making plugins more
manageable.
Anyway, have fun!
From a dumb user standpoint, I like the config files.
I want something I can just copy around, version control, and edit with
vi, and don't need
to hire a java developer to configure.
What would make life easier for me is if you removed all the XML bs and
just had name/value pairs
with a # comment above it describing what it is for, and the default
setting.
I do agree with briggs that there are too many seperate places to edit,
and having a single file would be nice.
