One reason to store content is if you want to show snippets in search results.

Another reason is if you want to have a "cached" feature where you can give the user the page as it looked when you crawled it (it may since have disappeared.

There is a way to tell nutch to look at only the beginning of a file, it's this section in your config.xml:

<property>
  <name>file.content.limit</name>
  <value>65536</value>
  <description>The length limit for downloaded content, in bytes.
If this value is nonnegative (>=0), content longer than it will be truncated;
  otherwise, no truncation at all.
  </description>
</property>

this is from the nutch-default.xml in 0.9, don't know whether it has changed in 1.0 .

Hi,

I also noticed that we can disable storing content of pages which I use. I wonder why someone needs to store content? Also, in case of files, is there a way to tell nutch not to download the whole file but let say 1000 bytes from the beginning and parse and index information only in that part of files?

Thanks.
A.

Hi:

Dog cutting has ever write a wiki about hardware requirement of nutch, you
can check it out

http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/HardwareRequirements

good luck

Regarding the machine, you could run it on anything, it all depends what kind of performance you want. So yes you could run it on the machine that you have or something like the linux machine that I have. And the DSL connection should be fine, you just need to make sure that it stays up the whole time, because if not it will start erring out, and you will have to re-fetch that whole segment as there is no way to pick up from where you
left off.

The only reason that I merged the segments was that I had many of them, and I wanted to build a big one before I started creating new ones, another advantage of merging is that you can use that to clear out unwanted urls. For example I had a bunch of .js files in there, that I didn't want to have
as part of the index, so I cleared them out.

I used "bin/nutch mergesegs".

Regarding merging the other parts, I have never used, but I don't think that it is necessary unless you have multiple linkdbs, etc. in my case I do
not.

Hi,

I will need to index all links in domains then. What do you think a linux box like yours with DSL connection is OK to index the domains I have?

Why only segments? I thought we need to merge all sub folders under crawl
folder. What did you use for merging them?

Thanks.
A.

Well the way that nutch works is that you would inject your list of
domains into the DB, and that would be the starting point. Since nutch uses a crawler it would grab those pages, and determine if there are any links on
those pages, and then add them to the DB.  So the next time that you
generated your urls to fetch, it would take your original list, plus the
ones that it found to generate the new segment.?
?

If you wanted to limit it to only pages contained on your 10000 domains, you could use the regex-urlfilter.txt file in the conf directory to limit it to your list. But you would have to create a regular expression for each
one.?
?

I am not familiar with the merge script on the wiki, but have merged
segments before and it did work. But that was on Linux, don't think that
should make a difference though.?
