[jira] [Created] (NUTCH-1319) HostNormalizer

HostNormalizer
--------------

                 Key: NUTCH-1319
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1319
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Markus Jelsma
            Assignee: Markus Jelsma
             Fix For: 1.5


Nutch would benefit from having a host normalizer. A host normalizer maps a given host to the desired host. A basic example is to map www.apache.org to apache.org. The Apache website is one of many on the internet that has a duplicate website on the same domain just because it allows both www and non-www to return HTTP 200 and proper content.

It is also able to handle wildcards such as *.example.org to example.org if there are multiple sub domains that actually point to the same website.

Large internet crawls tend to get polluted very quickly due to these problems. It also leads to skewed scores in the webgraph as different websites link to different versions of the same duplicate website.

Hi Markus,

Right. I agree that a simple map implementation would help here.

 Hi Mathijs,

 We use this in the fetcher (parse=true) and when updating the CrawlDB 
 and with the free generator. We use it in the fetcher because we follow 
 outlinks and make sure we follow the desired host and in the CrawlDB 
 because there we update records for recently added host normalizer 
 rules.

 It is just an URL normalizer like the others but only changes the host 
 part. This is not covered in other standard normalizers. The 
 BasicURLNormalizer cannot do this and the RegexURLNormalizer is far too 
 heavy to take 20MB of expressions and harder to auto-generate. A simple 
 map lookup is very fast.

 Cheers,

Hi Markus,

How (where in the process) do you like to use this normalizer. Isn't this functionality already covered by the URL normalizer(s)?

> Nutch would benefit from having a host normalizer. A host normalizer maps a given host to the desired host. A basic example is to map www.apache.org to apache.org. The Apache website is one of many on the internet that has a duplicate website on the same domain just because it allows both www and non-www to return HTTP 200 and proper content.
> It is also able to handle wildcards such as *.example.org to example.org if there are multiple sub domains that actually point to the same website.
> Large internet crawls tend to get polluted very quickly due to these problems. It also leads to skewed scores in the webgraph as different websites link to different versions of the same duplicate website.
