Bug in Nutch, possibly due to issues-273 and 322

Hi,

I checked out the latest Nutch trunk to get the fix for Issues 273
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-273) and 322
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-322) and it looks like if
http.redirect.max is 0, then the redirected url is inserted with the
same status as the original url of CrawlDatum.STATUS_FETCH_REDIR_PERM
(Fetcher.java line 201) which is converted to
CrawlDatum.STATUS_DB_REDIR_PERM. This prevents the redirected url from
being selected by the generator in the next round (Generator.java
lines 140-142).
My initial seed url was a RSS feed where all the items were being
redirected. I tried to do a crawl with depth 3 but at the last depth
the Generator was not able to select any urls, printed the message "0
records selected for fetching, exiting ..." and the crawl ended with a
NullPointerException as the fetcher was trying to fetch an empty
segment.
I was wondering if any one else had seen this behaviour and has been
able to find a way to fix it.

Thanks,
Meghna

Highlight terms in hit Title

Hi Nutchers!

I'm just wondering where to look to get search terms bolded in hit title.

Where to start or any patches out there?

Thanks

John

Hi,

I am trying to use nutch-0.9 and it looks like the bug about a NPE
thrown when the generator creates an empty segment is still present.
Has this bug been fixed in the trunk?

Thanks,
Meghna

Indeed, this looks wrong - the target of the redirect should be inserted 
with another fetch status (we could re-use status code LINKED, which is 
then turned into DB_UNFETCHED if a page didn't exist yet).

Yup, another place to fix so that it doesn't throw an NPE.

Thanks for testing this, I'll apply these fixes soon.
