Re: [Nutch-dev] search-servers.txt - xml'ize this server info file

[Doug Cutting]

Sounds good to me.  I think we should try to move all of the config 
files to XML, and also try to have fewer config files.  That will make 
it easier to write admin tools.

I'd like to eventually extend this so it describes the
server and possibly the data on it as well as
replica's of that server (for load balancing/failover)
and any other options that may be nifty.
Something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1" ?>
<SERVER>
  <QUERY>
     <NAME>search1</NAME>
     <HOST>search1.nutch.org</HOST>
     <PORT>9999</PORT>
     <DESC>Some Description</DESC>
  </QUERY>
  <QUERY>
     <NAME>search2</NAME>
     <HOST>search2.nutch.org</HOST>
     <PORT>9999</PORT>
     <DESC>Some Description</DESC>
  </QUERY>
  <DB>
     <NAME>db01</NAME>
     <HOST>db01.nutch.org</HOST>
     <DESC>Db server description</DESC>
  </DB>
</SERVER>
The concept i'm trying to think of is a file that will
eventually describe the purpose of each server in your
"cluster" and be able to extend nutch to define
directions.
Espcecially as we move towards distributed webdb and
such. It would be nice to just descrbe the servers in
a map in such a file.
I'm working on a web management "console" of sorts and
i am leaning towards mapping out the environment and
optimizing query/search over distributed db as well as
distributed fetching to better manage a huge system
and just thinking of baby steps we could do to move to
such an interface.
