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.
The plan is to move NDFS and MapReduce from Nutch to a new Lucene sub-project, probably sometime in the next few months.
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. :)
I'm still not clear why one might need a NullReporter. Doug ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
