What is the design contract on plugins when it comes to thread safety?
I was under the assumption that plugins should be thread safe, but I
have been running into concurrent modification exceptions from the
language identifier plugin while indexing. My application is a bit
different from the normal nutch way. I have may crawls going on
concurrently within an application. So, that means I would also have
many concurrent indexing tasks. So, if I can't be guaranteed that
plugins are threadsafe, I may need to do a nasty thing and synchronize
my index() method (ouch).
Here is the exception, just for info:
java.util.ConcurrentModificationException
