Performance problem with widely used keywords
---------------------------------------------

         Key: NUTCH-180
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-180
     Project: Nutch
        Type: Wish
    Reporter: Mike Alulin


It looks like Nutch is very slow when the search phrase includes a few widely 
used keywords. For example "I 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0" typed without the quotes to 
Yahoo, Google, or MSN is processed in less than a second. Nutch on the other 
hand requires much more time for this even on smaller databases. For example 
this phrase made objectssearch.com think more than 1 minute although their DB 
is much smaller than DBs of the big 3 guys. On my test Nutch DB with only 3M 
pages this phrase took a few seconds to process.

Unfortunately I do not know much about search algorithms, but it looks like 
Nutch do have some space to improve the search performance. The current 
implementation can be easily "killed" by a few search requests like this. Just 
a couple of dozen of such requests makes my server with 2 Opterons think for a 
minute or two with 100% CPU utilization.
