Hi Julien, I'll see if I can give a try later this week. I'm having a problem in the mapred.LocalJobRunner - reduce > reduce portion right after the actual URL fetch/parse portion is complete. I don't know how long it is supposed to take for this portion to complete, but I have had fetches run for 12 hours and map-reduce portion run for 36 hours and still not be complete. I ended up killing the job.
Right now, I'm running a fetch on 1 million URLs. The parse and fetch portion took less than 7 hours, but the map-reduce has been running for 11 hours now and I'm going to wait and see if it completes. It started complete of fetcher.Fetcher: 2010-08-01 22:06:43,479 INFO fetcher.Fetcher - -finishing thread FetcherThread, activeThreads=0 2010-08-01 22:06:44,368 INFO fetcher.Fetcher - -activeThreads=0, spinWaiting=0, fetchQueues.totalSize=0 2010-08-01 22:06:44,369 INFO fetcher.Fetcher - -activeThreads=0 2010-08-01 22:06:44,369 INFO mapred.MapTask - Starting flush of map output 2010-08-01 22:06:45,129 INFO mapred.LocalJobRunner - 0 threads, 853809 pages, 18772 errors, 35.4 pages/s, 16989 kb/s, The issue appears to start with 2010-08-01 23:22:22,174 INFO mapred.Merger - Down to the last merge-pass, with 1 segments left of total size: 31012166567 bytes Now the process has been cycling on for 10 hours: INFO mapred.LocalJobRunner - reduce > reduce I'm running Nutch on a single server.

That would remove any possible side effect due to caching, network issues etc... All you need to do is remove the subdirectories parse_text, parse_data and crawl_parse then run : nutch parse Thanks Julien PS: regarding parse-html being phased out : see Andrzej's JIRA from this morning On 31 July 2010 22:43, brad <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have been experiencing some performance issues with Tika and > > general parsing (see Parsing Performance - related to Java > > concurrency issue) > > > > Ken pointed out that both the both Tika and Nutch HtmlParser show up > > in > my > > jstack list using the delivered configuration. > > > > Julien suggested checking parsing with only parse-tika (html) and > > then with parse-html. > > > > So here is what I did. > > > > Option 1) parse-tika > > parse-(rss|text|js|tika) > > parse-plugin.xml as delivered > tika-mimetypes.xml as delivered > > > Option 2) parse-html > > parse-(rss|text|html|js|tika) > > parse-plugin.xml turned ON <plugin id="parse-html" /> > > tika-mimetypes.xml commented out <mime-type > > type="text/html"> > > > > Using the same generated crawl, ran fetch with parse for each of the > > options for 2 hours. > > All other configurations and settings are identical > > > > Results: > > Parse-tika > > INFO mapred.LocalJobRunner - 200 threads, 200370 pages, 6756 > > errors, > 27.8 > > pages/s, 12916 kb/s > > > > Parse-html > > INFO mapred.LocalJobRunner - 200 threads, 433738 pages, 13360 > > errors, > > 60.1 pages/s, 27980 kb/s, > > > > > > The results: > > Parse-html is 116% faster than parse-tika for html for the same > > period of time and same URLs > > > > The error rate was about the same parse-html 3%, parse-tika 3.3% > > Most of the errors are read timeouts > > > > > > So is parse-html better?
