The environment that this was observed:
* spring batched jobs / spring data hadoop, submitting GeneratorJob M/R jobs, so obviously the GeneratorReducer#count survived as static;
* in a pseudo-distributed Hadoop setup

Maybe I was missing something but the reason was cautious about making count instance field because this counter would have to be seen across the whole Hadoop cluster, right? So thats why I relied on the M/R counter to sync across the Hadoop cluster the actual pages counted as processed.

>             Project: Nutch
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: generator
>    Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.3, 2.2.1, 2.3.1
>         Environment: Ubuntu 16.04 / Hadoop 2.7.1
>            Reporter: Arthur B
>              Labels: fails, generator, subsequent
>             Fix For: 2.4

>   Original Estimate: 24h
>  Remaining Estimate: 24h
>
> Given a topN parameter (ie 10) the GeneratorJob will fail to generate anything new on the subsequent runs within the same process space.
> To reproduce the issue submit the GeneratorJob twice one after another to the M/R framework. Second time will say it generated 0 URLs.
> This issue is due to the usage of the static count field (org.apache.nutch.crawl.GeneratorReducer#count) to determine if the topN value has been reached.
