Hi Michael, both "crawldb" jobs are similar - they merge status information into the CrawlDb, fetch status and newly found links resp. detected duplicates. There are two situations where I could think of the second job takes longer: - if there are many duplicates, significantly more than status updates and additions in the preceding updatedb job - if the CrawlDb has grown significantly (the preceding updatedb added many new URLs)
But you're right. I can see no reason why $commonOptions is not used for the dedup job. Please, open an issue on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH, should be also checked for the other jobs which are not run with $commonOptions. If possible, please test whether running the dedup job with the common options fixes your problem. That's easily done: just edit src/bin/crawl and run "ant runtime".
