[jira] [Updated] (NUTCH-2792) nutch index -params is only used in Solr indexer

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2792?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Patrick Mézard updated NUTCH-2792:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
`nutch index` help displays:
{code:java}
 General options:
...
 -params k1=v1&k2=v2... parameters passed to indexer plugins
 (via property indexer.additional.params){code}
The option does nothing when used with CSV or dummy indexers. Looking at the code, the property is defined in:

[https://github.com/apache/nutch/blob/master/src/java/org/apache/nutch/indexer/IndexerMapReduce.java#L78]

which is only used in:

[https://github.com/apache/nutch/blob/master/src/plugin/indexer-solr/src/java/org/apache/nutch/indexwriter/solr/SolrIndexWriter.java#L141]

Several possibilities:
 * Drop the parameter from the help. Does not break backward compatibility.
 * Move the -params handling in IndexWriters.java and add them to IndexWriterParams of every indexer. Not too impactful but not super clean either: the parameters are not "namespaced" per indexer, if someone uses multiple indexers there may be parameter collisions.
 * Refactor the way these parameters are passed, to prefix them with target indexer. Would break backward compatibility. In that case, it would be good to change the format completely: turn -params into -param, allow multiple values to be passed and forget the '=/&' syntax (which does not handle escaping anyway).

Not sure how much this parameter is used. I would have used it to configure the output path for indexer-csv or indexer-dummy.
