Hi Sachin, Nutch REST API is built using Apache CXF framework and JAX-RS. The Nutch Server uses an embedded Jetty Server to service the http requests. You can find out more about CXF and Jetty here ( http://cxf.apache.org/docs/overview.html).
The server runs on one machine waiting for http requests. Once a request is received it will start the respective Nutch Job requested (which might be distributed ex- fetch job) Just for visibility on the user list, this question was asked on stackoverflow.
