Hello, this is my first message to nutch mailing list. I hope I send it to right receiver.

In nutch-1.1 I checked nutch-default.xml for new properties. There I found "crawl.gen.delay" with default value "604800000". Description says "This value, expressed in days ... Default value of this is 7 days."

In "Generator.java" I see the lines:

1) "public static final String GENERATOR_DELAY = "crawl.gen.delay";" 2) "genDelay = job.getLong(GENERATOR_DELAY, 7L) * 3600L * 24L * 1000L;"

I couldn't find any other Scripts where "crawl.gen.delay" is used.

Im not really proficient in Java! So, what I read here is:

1) Define GENERATOR_DELAY as "604800000" (milliseconds? => if yes, this would be the "Default value of this is 7 days." as mentioned above) 2) Assign value of (604800000*3600*24*1000) to genDelay as Long. => 7464960000000000

All I want to know, because I'm really confused: Do you think that this is an error in nutch-default.xml or must I think further to understand the property correctly?

I don't understand value "7L" in "job.getLong(GENERATOR_DELAY, 7L)". Maybe that's the crux.

Thanks!
Volli
