Hi,

I'd like to implement a custom "topical crawler" using Nutch 0.8. After
digging *a bit* the source code, I'm blocked when it comes to Hadoop.
Unfortunately, I don't have time now to dive into it.

The main idea would be to score the Outlinks based on their topical
relevance to a given subject so they can be ordered by this "relevance
score" during the next fetchlist generation  (using a custom ScoringFilter).
This would lead to a "best-first" fetching strategy with "best" meaning
"more relevant". As the scoring of an outlink would be partly based upon
local textual context around the outlink, the ideal place to compute this
score should (??) be during the parsing of the surrounding page.

A way to do this might be to:
  - compute and add a score metadata to the Outlinks during parsing.
  - retrieve that score in a custom ScoringFilter during fetchlist
generation.

>From what I've understood, the first step doesn't seem possible in Nutch 0.8
(??).
What would be the right way to implement such a behaviour?
Is it possible by creating a pair of custom HtmlParseFilter/ScoringFilter? 

Thanks a lot for your answers

Please all my apologies...
  - ...if i'm missing the point here but i'm new to Nutch.
  - ...for my poor English
