Yes, this is possible. To achieve that, we've developed an agent that is basically a SaaS server + other logic, to expose Nutch steps as web service calls, while additional customization was by means of plug-ins.
Alessio -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Are Injector, Generator, Fetcher and Parser Pluggable? From: Akash Ashok <[email protected]> Date: Tue, February 14, 2012 3:54 am To: [email protected] Hi All, We're implementing a Crawling solution on Nutch. Here are our requirements: 1. Expose crawling submissions as an Webservice ( Convert Injector into a Webservice ) 2. Plugin our custom generator and Parser interfaces to suit nutch to our own needs. So we were just wondering can we use custome Injector and Fetcher and Parses class to customize Nutch to our needs ? Cheers, Akash A
