Tool to recover partial fetcher output
--------------------------------------
Key: NUTCH-451
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-451
Project: Nutch
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: fetcher
Affects Versions: 0.9.0
Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki
Assigned To: Andrzej Bialecki
Fix For: 0.9.0
Attachments: LocalFetchRecover.java
This class may help you to recover partial data from a failed Fetcher run.
NOTE 1: this works ONLY if you ran Fetcher using "local" file system, i.e. you
didn't use DFS - partial output to DFS is permanently lost if a process fails
to properly close the output streams.
NOTE 2: if Fetcher was stopped abruptly (killed or crashed), then partial
SequenceFile-s will be corrupted at the end. This means that it won't be
possible to recover all data from them - most likely only the data up to the
last sync marker can be recovered.
The recovery proces requires some preparation:
* determine the map directories corresponding to the map task outputs of the
failed job. These map directories contain SequenceFile-s consisting of pairs of
<Text, FetcherOutput>, named e.g. part-0.out, or file.out, or spill0.out.
* create the new input directory, let's say input/. Copy all SequenceFile-s
into this directory, renaming them sequentially like this:
input/part-00000
input/part-00001
input/part-00002
input/part-00003
...
* specify the "input" directory as the input to this tool.
If all goes well, a new segment will be created as a subdirectory of the output
dir.
