Method Detail

initializeSchedule

void initializeSchedule(java.lang.String url,
                        WebPage page)

Initialize fetch schedule related data. Implementations should at least set the fetchTime and fetchInterval. The default implementation set the fetchTime to now, using the default fetchInterval.

Parameters:

url - URL of the page.

page - WebPage object relative to the URL

setFetchSchedule

void setFetchSchedule(java.lang.String url,
                      WebPage page,
                      long prevFetchTime,
                      long prevModifiedTime,
                      long fetchTime,
                      long modifiedTime,
                      int state)

Sets the fetchInterval and fetchTime on a successfully fetched page. Implementations may use supplied arguments to support different re-fetching schedules.

Parameters:

url - url of the page

page - WebPage object relative to the URL

prevFetchTime - previous value of fetch time, or -1 if not available

prevModifiedTime - previous value of modifiedTime, or -1 if not available

fetchTime - the latest time, when the page was recently re-fetched.

modifiedTime - last time the content was modified. This information comes from the protocol implementations, or is set to < 0 if not available.

state - if STATUS_MODIFIED, then the content is considered to be "changed" before the fetchTime, if STATUS_NOTMODIFIED then the content is known to be unchanged. This information may be obtained by comparing page signatures before and after fetching. If this is set to STATUS_UNKNOWN, then it is unknown whether the page was changed; implementations are free to follow a sensible default behavior.

setPageGoneSchedule

void setPageGoneSchedule(java.lang.String url,
                         WebPage page,
                         long prevFetchTime,
                         long prevModifiedTime,
                         long fetchTime)

This method specifies how to schedule refetching of pages marked as GONE.

Parameters:

url - URL of the page

page - WebPage object relative to the URL

setPageRetrySchedule

void setPageRetrySchedule(java.lang.String url,
                          WebPage page,
                          long prevFetchTime,
                          long prevModifiedTime,
                          long fetchTime)

This method adjusts the fetch schedule if fetching needs to be re-tried due to transient errors. The default implementation sets the next fetch time 1 day in the future and increases the retry counter.Set

Parameters:

url - URL of the page

page - WebPage object relative to the URL

prevFetchTime - previous fetch time

prevModifiedTime - previous modified time

fetchTime - current fetch time

calculateLastFetchTime

long calculateLastFetchTime(WebPage page)

Calculates last fetch time of the given CrawlDatum.

Returns:

the date as a long.

shouldFetch

boolean shouldFetch(java.lang.String url,
                    WebPage page,
                    long curTime)

This method provides information whether the page is suitable for selection in the current fetchlist. NOTE: a true return value does not guarantee that the page will be fetched, it just allows it to be included in the further selection process based on scores. The default implementation checks fetchTime, if it is higher than the

Parameters:

url - URL of the page

curTime - reference time (usually set to the time when the fetchlist generation process was started).

Returns:

true, if the page should be considered for inclusion in the current fetchlist, otherwise false.

forceRefetch

void forceRefetch(java.lang.String url,
                  WebPage row,
                  boolean asap)

This method resets fetchTime, fetchInterval, modifiedTime and page signature, so that it forces refetching.

Parameters:

url - URL of the page

asap - if true, force refetch as soon as possible - this sets the fetchTime to now. If false, force refetch whenever the next fetch time is set.
