Why was "prune" removed in 0.8?

[Stefan Neufeind <ap...@stefan-neufeind.de>]

Hi,

I might be bringing up old discussions (sorry if so) - but discussing 
about segread/readseg I wondered why "prune" is missing in bin/nutch. 
It's still working when you give the full classname by hand. But could 
it be (re)added to bin/nutch again as well?


Regards,
  Stefan

I think PruneIndexTool is not fully compatible in the command-line usage 
with the current layout of indexes. I mean that in 0.8 indexes are not 
created inside each segment directory, and also a single output index 
consists of as many parts as there were reduce tasks ... so, some 
fiddling around with paths and arguments will be necessary to fix it.
