Description

Per the discussion in the Nutch-User mailing list, there is a wish for an "Image Search" add-on component that will index images.

Must have:

• retrieve outlinks to image files from fetched pages
• generate thumbnails from images
• thumbnails are stored in the segments as ImageWritable that contains the compressed binary data and some meta data

Should have:

• implemented as hadoop map reduce job
• should be seperate from main Nutch codeline as it breaks general Nutch logic of one url == one index document.

Could have:

• store the original image in the segments

Would like to have:

• search interface for image index
• parameterizable thumbnail generation (width, height, quality)

Sub-Tasks

• sandbox svn folder: Closed
