Hi, If there an existing method for generating a segment/fetchlist containing only URLs that have not yet been fetched? I'm asking because I can imagine a situation where one has a large and "old" CrawlDb that "knows" about a lot of URLs (the ones with "db_unfetched" status if you run -stats) and in such a situation a person may prefer to fetch only the yet-unfetched URLs first, and only after that include URLs that need to be refetched in the newly generated segments.
I don't think a current method exists to do only unfetched URLs, but it does sound like an interesting bit of functionality.
One can write a custom Generator, or perhaps modify the existing one to add this option, but is there an existing mechanism for this?
Generator would probably be best, let me look into what it would take to do this. Maybe we can get it into 1.0.

If not, does this sound like something that should be added to the existing Generator and invoked via a command-line arg, say -unfetchedOnly ? Thanks, Otis -- Sematext -- http://sematext.com/ -- Lucene - Solr - Nutch
