Run Nutch In Eclipse on Linux and Windows nutch version 1.0

This is a work in progress. If you find errors or would like to improve this page, just create an account [UserPreferences

Tested with

Nutch release 1.0

Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) and 3.4 (Ganymede)

Java 1.6

Ubuntu (should work on most platforms though)

Windows XP and Vista

Before you start

Setting up
Nutch to run into Eclipse can be tricky, and most of the time it is
much faster if you edit Nutch in Eclipse but run the scripts from the
command line (my 2 cents). However, it's very useful to be able to
debug Nutch in Eclipse. Sometimes examining the logs (logs/hadoop.log)
is quicker to debug a problem.

Steps

For Windows Users

If you are running Windows (tested on Windows XP) you must first install cygwin. Download it from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe

Install
cygwin and set the PATH environment variable for it. You can set it
from the Control Panel, System, Advanced Tab, Environment Variables and
edit/add PATH.
Example PATH:

C:/Sun/SDK/bin;C:/cygwin/bin

If you run "bash" from the Windows command line (Start > Run... > cmd.exe) it should successfully run cygwin.
If you are running Eclipse on Vista, you will need to either give cygwin administrative privileges or turn off Vista's User Access Control (UAC)
. Otherwise Hadoop will likely complain that it cannot change a directory permission when you later run the crawler:

org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell$ExitCodeException: chmod: changing permissions of ... Permission denied

See this
for more information about the UAC issue.

Install Nutch

Grab a fresh release
of Nutch 1.0 or download and untar the official 1.0 release
.

Do not build Nutch yet. Make sure you have no .project and .classpath files in the Nutch directory

Create a new Java Project in Eclipse

File > New > Project > Java project > click Next

Name the project (Nutch_Trunk for instance)

Select "Create project from existing source" and use the location where you downloaded Nutch

Click on Next, and wait while Eclipse is scanning the folders

Add
the folder "conf" to the classpath (Right-click on the project, select
"properties" then "Java Build Path" tab (left menu) and then the
"Libraries" tab. Click "Add Class Folder..." button, and select "conf"
from the list)

Go to
"Order and Export" tab, find the entry for added "conf" folder and move
it to the top (by checking it and clicking the "Top" button). This is
required so Eclipse will take config (nutch-default.xml,
nutch-final.xml, etc.) resources from our "conf" folder and not from
somewhere else.

Eclipse
should have guessed all the Java files that must be added to your
classpath. If that's not the case, add "src/java", "src/test" and all
plugin "src/java" and "src/test" folders to your source folders. Also
add all jars in "lib" and in the plugin lib folders to your libraries

Click
the "Source" tab and set the default output folder to
"Nutch_Trunk/bin/tmp_build". (You may need to create the tmp_build
folder.)

Click the "Finish" button

DO NOT add "build" to classpath

Configure Nutch

See the Tutorial

Change the property "plugin.folders" to "./src/plugin" on $NUTCH_HOME/conf/nutch-defaul.xml

Make sure Nutch is configured correctly before testing it into Eclipse

Missing org.farng and com.etranslate

Eclipse
will complain about some import statements in parse-mp3 and parse-rtf
plugins (30 errors in my case). Because of incompatibility with the
Apache license, the .jar files that define the necessary classes were
not included with the source code.
Download them here:
http://nutch.cvs.sourceforge.net/nutch/nutch/src/plugin/parse-mp3/lib/

http://nutch.cvs.sourceforge.net/nutch/nutch/src/plugin/parse-rtf/lib/

Copy
the jar files into src/plugin/parse-mp3/lib and
src/plugin/parse-rtf/lib/ respectively. Then add the jar files to the
build path (First refresh the workspace by pressing F5. Then
right-click the project folder > Build Path > Configure Build
Path... Then select the Libraries tab, click "Add Jars..." and then add
each .jar file individually. If that does not work, you may try
clicking "Add External JARs" and the point to the two the directories
above).

Two Errors with RTFParseFactory

If you are
trying to build the official 1.0 release, Eclipse will complain about 2
errors regarding the RTFParseFactory (this is after adding the RTF jar
file from the previous step). This problem was fixed (see NUTCH-644
and NUTCH-705
)
but was not included in the 1.0 official release because of licensing
issues. So you will need to manually alter the code to remove these 2
build errors.
In RTFParseFactory.java:

Add the following import statement: import org.apache.nutch.parse.ParseResult;

Change

public Parse getParse(Content content) {

to

public ParseResult getParse(Content content) {

In the getParse function, replace

return new ParseStatus(ParseStatus.FAILED,

ParseStatus.FAILED_EXCEPTION,

e.toString()).getEmptyParse(conf);

with

return new ParseStatus(ParseStatus.FAILED,

ParseStatus.FAILED_EXCEPTION,

e.toString()).getEmptyParseResult(content.getUrl(), getConf());

In the getParse function, replace

return new ParseImpl(text,

new ParseData(ParseStatus.STATUS_SUCCESS,

title,

OutlinkExtractor.getOutlinks(text, this.conf),

content.getMetadata(),

metadata));

with

return ParseResult.createParseResult(content.getUrl(),

new ParseImpl(text,

new ParseData(ParseStatus.STATUS_SUCCESS,

title,

OutlinkExtractor.getOutlinks(text, this.conf),

content.getMetadata(),

metadata)));

In TestRTFParser.java, replace

parse = new ParseUtil(conf).parseByExtensionId("parse-rtf", content);

with

parse = new ParseUtil(conf).parseByExtensionId("parse-rtf", content).get(urlString);

Once you have made these changes and saved the files, Eclipse should build with no errors.

Build Nutch

If you
setup the project correctly, Eclipse will build Nutch for you into
"tmp_build". See below for problems you could run into.

Create Eclipse launcher

Menu Run > "Run..."

create "New" for "Java Application"

set in Main class

org.apache.nutch.crawl.Crawl

on tab Arguments, Program Arguments

urls -dir crawl -depth 3 -topN 50

in VM arguments

-Dhadoop.log.dir=logs -Dhadoop.log.file=hadoop.log

click on "Run"

if all works, you should see Nutch getting busy at crawling

Debug Nutch in Eclipse (not yet tested for 0.9)

Set breakpoints and debug a crawl

It
can be tricky to find out where to set the breakpoint, because of the
Hadoop jobs. Here are a few good places to set breakpoints:

Fetcher [line: 371] - run

Fetcher [line: 438] - fetch

Fetcher$FetcherThread [line: 149] - run()

Generator [line: 281] - generate

Generator$Selector [line: 119] - map

OutlinkExtractor [line: 111] - getOutlinks

If things do not work...

Yes, Nutch and Eclipse can be a difficult companionship sometimes

Java Heap Size problem

If the
crawler throws an IOException exception early in the crawl (Exception
in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Job failed!), check the
logs/hadoop.log file for further information. If you find in hadoop.log
lines similar to this:

2009-04-13 13:41:06,105 WARN  mapred.LocalJobRunner - job_local_0001

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

then you should increase amount of RAM for running applications from Eclipse.
Just set it in:
Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs -> edit -> Default VM arguments
I've set mine to

-Xms5m -Xmx150m

because I have like 200MB RAM left after running all apps
-Xms (minimum ammount of RAM memory for running applications) -Xmx (maximum)

Eclipse: Cannot create project content in workspace

The nutch
source code must be out of the workspace folder. My first attempt was
download the code with eclipse (svn) under my workspace. When I try to
create the project using existing code, eclipse don't let me do it from
source code into the workspace. I use the source code out of my
workspace and it work fine.

plugin dir not found

Make sure
you set your plugin.folders property correct, instead of using a
relative path you can use a absolute one as well in nutch-defaults.xml
or may be better in nutch-site.xml

<property>

<name>plugin.folders</name>

<value>/home/....../nutch-0.9/src/plugin</value>

No plugins loaded during unit tests in Eclipse

During
unit testing, Eclipse ignored conf/nutch-site.xml in favor of
src/test/nutch-site.xml, so you might need to add the plugin directory
configuration to that file as well.

NOTE: Additional note for people who want to run eclipse with latest nutch code

If you are getting following exception - org.apache.nutch.plugin.PluginRuntimeException
: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
: org.apache.nutch.net
.urlnormalizer.basic.BasicURLNormalizer

Execute 'ant job' (which is the default) after downloading nutch through SVN

Update "plugin.folders" (under nutch-default.xml) to build/plugins (where ant builds plugins)

If it still fails increase your memory allocation or find a simpler website to crawl.

Unit tests work in eclipse but fail when running ant in the command line

Suppose your unit tests work perfectly in eclipse, but each and everyone fail when running ant test
in the command line - including the ones you haven't modified. Check if you defined the plugin.folders
property in hadoop-site.xml. In that case, try removing it from that file and adding it directly to nutch-site.xml
Run ant test
again. That should have solved the problem.
If
that didn't solve the problem, are you testing a plugin? If so, did you
add the plugin to the list of packages in plugin/build.xml, on the test
target?

classNotFound

open the class itself, rightclick

refresh the build dir

debugging hadoop classes

Sometime
it makes sense to also have the hadoop classes available during
debugging. So, you can check out the Hadoop sources on your machine and
add the sources to the hadoop-xxx.jar. Alternatively, you can:

Remove the hadoopXXX.jar from your classpath libraries

Checkout the hadoop brunch that is used within nutch

configure a hadoop project similar to the nutch project within your eclipse

add the hadoop project as a dependent project of nutch project

you can now also set break points within hadoop classes lik inputformat implementations etc.

Failed to get the current user's information

On
Windows, if the crawler throws an exception complaining it "Failed to
get the current user's information" or 'Login failed: Cannot run
program "bash"', it is likely you forgot to set the PATH to point to
cygwin. Open a new command line window (All Programs > Accessories
> Command Prompt) and type "bash". This should start cygwin. If it
doesn't, type "path" to see your path. You should see within the path
the cygwin bin directory (e.g., C:/cygwin/bin). See the steps to adding
this to your PATH at the top of the article under "For Windows Users".
After setting the PATH, you will likely need to restart Eclipse so it
will use the new PATH.
