Hi Joshua,
I'm not using Nutch only for fetch and parse before sending it to a Solr instance. During my actions such as creating a new segment from the crawldb, fetching and parsing and reinserting new URL's in the crawldb, i can give any arbitrary path to a segment directory, thus renaming, would in my case, not be a problem at all. I don't know if this holds if you use Nutch's built-in indexer though. By the way, i delete the newly created segment directories anyway after they've been sent to Solr.

I crawl often, and move my crawl to a different server to serve out the results, replacing the previous crawl's filesystem. This can quickly lead to inactive segments accruing on the server running the web portion. I would like to rename my segments to a standard, non-dated format (e.g, segment1, segment2, segment3, ...) to make it more portable. Is this possible? Thanks! -Josh
