One of the great things about open source is that projects can be used for unintended purposes. In fact, Nutch works well for parallel computing in general, not just for web indexing. Apparently Google has thousands of projects that use MapReduce. I'm using Nutch right now (and I love it), but I currently have very little interest in web indexing. I have a project with a custom Mapper and Reducer, and I needed to be able to read in the data from a SequenceFile, which led me to the issue I emailed about. I'd send you a patch with a NullReporter, but it's only four or five lines. :) Thanks for everything. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
