             Summary: Speed up link inversion step in crawling script
                 Key: NUTCH-2496
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2496
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Moreno Feltscher


While working on a project where I have to index a huge number of URLs I encountered an issue with the link inversion step of the crawling script. A while ago Ian Lopata stumbled upon the same issue as described here: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/InvertLinks-Performance-Nutch-1-6-td4183004.html

I am running the invertlinks step in my Nutch 1.6 based crawl process on a 
single node.  I run invertlinks only because I need the Inlinks in the 
indexer step so as to store them with the document.  I do not need the 
anchor text and I am not scoring.  I am finding that invertlinks (and more 
specifically the merge of the linkdb) takes a long time - about 30 minutes 
for a crawl of around 150K documents.  I am looking for ways that I might 
shorten this processing time.  Any suggestions?

Back then [~wastl-nagel] suggested turning off the normalizers and filters during the inversion step which speeds up the process a bunch.
In my case however I kind of depend on those so this is no real solution.

I opened this issue here in order to get some feedback on how we could improve things in a crawl script and speed up the process.
