Why not be even more concurrent?Pass "to visit" links to a channel.Reader of channel holds the map, de-dupes and passes to worker channel.Multiple workers dequeue the channel and feed back into the "to visit" channel.SamOn Sep 24, 2017 10:13 AM, Michael Jones wrote:you must remember where you've been. for example, you might:a. convert each candidate URL to a canonical form (absolute path)b. look for canonical url in a map before visiting. If it was not there, insert and visit, if it was there, do nothingthis is enough.On Sun, Sep 24, 2017 at 4:05 AM, wrote:Hi I am learning Golang concurrency and trying to build a simple Website crawler.
