Sorry it was not working that well in my tests with Gora code as is and MySQL backend, because of the broad SELECT statement. The issue is described here: http://techvineyard.blogspot.com/2010/12/build-nutch-20.html#Gora and reported in the JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-23 Alexis
