current Nutch 2.0 / GORA status

[Ferdy Galema]

What is the current status of Nutch 2.0? How different is it from the 
current 1.x branch in terms of production stableness? We would very much 
like to use HBase as a crawling backend but we are not sure whether to 
try to make Nutch 2.0 work or create a (small) derivation of the current 
1.x branch.

Thanks in advance.
