Description

Since NUTCH-169, the BasicIndexingFilter has no way to retrieve its configuration parameters (query.url.boost, query.anchor.boost, query.title.boost, query.host.boost, query.phrase.boost) : The setConf(Configuration) method is never called by the QueryFilters class.

More generaly, we should provide a way for QueryFilter to be Configurable. Two solutions:
1. The QueryFilters checks that a QueryFilter implements Configurable and then call the setConf() method.
2. QueryFilter extends Configurable => all QueryFilter must implement Configurable.

My preference goes to 1, and if there is no objection, I will commit a patch in the next few days.
