Enis Soztutar updated NUTCH-439:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: tld_plugin_v2.0.patch

I have made major improvements to the code and configuration files. Mainly the 
issue is not only a plugin, but a package, one big xml file, and an 
indexing/scoring plugin(which is disabled by default). The list of recognized 
suffixes now is not limited to top level domains. second, or third level public 
domain names can be recognized. The patch also changes the naming from top 
level domains to domain suffixes. 

This patch also introduces URLUtil class, which include methods for getting 
domain name, or public domain suffix of an url. Finding the domain name of a 
url is quite important for several reasons. First we can use this function as 
an replacement of URL.getHost() in LinkDB for ignoring internal links, or in 
similar context. Second we can perform statistical analysis on domain names. 
Third we can list subdomains under a domain, etc.. 

I have changed the build.encoding to UTF-8 so that non-ascii characters are 
recognized. 

here is an excerpt from the domain-suffixes.xml file : 
       This document contains top level domains 
        as described by the Internet Assigned Numbers
        Authotiry (IANA), and second or third level domains that 
        are known to be managed by domain registerers. People at 
        Mozilla community call these as public suffixes or effective 
        tlds. There is no algorithmic way of knowing whether a suffix 
        is a public domain suffix, or not. So this large file is used 
        for this purpose. The entries in the file is used to find the
        domain of a url, which may not the same thing as the host of 
        the url. For example for "http://lucene.apache.org/nutch"; the 
        hostname is lucene.apache.org, however the domain name for this
        url would be apache.org. Domain names can be quite handy for 
        statistical analysis, and fighting against spam.    
        
        The list of TLDs is constructed from IANA, and the 
        list of "effective tlds" are constructed from Wikipedia, 
        http://wiki.mozilla.org/TLD_List, and http://publicsuffix.org/
        The list may not include all the suffixes, but some
        effort has been spent to make it comprehensive. Please forward 
        any improvements for this list to nutch-dev mailing list, or 
        nutch JIRA.

> Top Level Domains (tlds) are the last part(s) of the host name in a DNS 
> system. TLDs are managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. IANA 
> divides tlds into three. infrastructure, generic(such as "com", "edu") and 
> country code tlds(such as "en", "de" , "tr", ). Indexing the top level domain 
> and optionally boosting is needed for improving the search results and 
> enhancing locality.
