Nutch with Drupal (PHP)

[Robert Douglass <ro...@robshouse.net>]

Hi all,

I wanted to bring to your attention two Drupal modules which provide a 
way for you to integrate Nutch with Drupal. If you've never heard of it, 
Drupal is a pretty decent PHP framework (sometimes called a CMS) which 
is also very developer friendly.

The first module is a client for OpenSearch RSS. This lets you have a 
search form in your Drupal site that can use Nutch (or any other OpenRSS 
provider) as the search backend.

http://drupal.org/project/opensearchclient

The second module is a Nutch integration module that allows you to 
control the Nutch crawl/index lifecycle from your Drupal admin interface:

http://drupal.org/project/nutch

It is mostly just a set of bash scripts which can be triggered from 
within Drupal. There is a lot of room for further development in this 
module and I'd be most happy to get more Nutch experts working on it.


Anyway, perhaps some of you will find these modules useful.

Cheers,

Robert Douglass


PS. There is also an OpenSearchClient module which produces OpenSearch 
RSS from Drupal's own search results, opening up the possibility of 
having one site be the search provider for another.

And thanks Paul, I wasn't aware of the possibility of running Drupal 
within Resin/Quercus. I'll have to give that a whirl!

For those who want to stay all java..

Take a look at Java PHP Implementation that Caucho has done in Resin.
http://wiki.caucho.com/Quercus:_Drupal

You can run Drupal in Resin and stay all java at the end of the day, if you
prefer.

Thanks Rob.. will give it a whirl.
