Applied strategy : when there is no restriction on domains or
sub-path(s), stack anchor links once discovered by the content scraper
instead of waiting the complete parsing of the file.
This makes it possible to handle a crawling start file with thousands of
links in a reasonable amount of time.
Performance limitation : even if the crawl start faster with a large
file, the content of the parsed file still is fully loaded in memory.
to also support handling of urls w/o corresponding file-extension.
For this refactor use of document.getParserObject() to alway return a Parser (for clean logic)
and define/move the scraperObject as local var of AbstractParser.
Adjust related calls to getParserObject (where actually a scraperObject is wanted).
Addionally skip appending url token to parsed text for dht metadata entries
(by default returned as result by rwi index).
- Above brought up that parser start url parameter, declared as AnchorURL uses only methodes of parent object DigestURL (changed parameter declaration accordingly).
JVM registers each file in a list regardless of already deleted and never
cleans up the list during runtime.
This accumulates to a considerable amount of mem during large crawls and/or
long uptime.
To tackle this, all temp files are now created in a subdir of java.io.tmpdir
and the jvm tmpdir property is set to this subdir, which is deleted by
code on shutdown.
Additionally let pdfParser use this tmp subdir too.
- adjust check of data available according to doc
- return null on no recognized content (to not exit TextParser next parser try)
- use commons.compress directly

Implementation improves parsing of the homepage (ajax page) which uses metatag "fragment" in header and parses supplied html snapshot instead of mostly empty ajax/scripted page.
Implementation supports also hash-bang urls (url with anchor starting with ! like ...path#!hashfragment) but our crawler filters it
(use of hash-bang is controversly discussed and proposal is deprecated, makes no sense to adjust the crawler, but as long as it is used by some sites the minor change/improvement in htmlparser is good for some time).
Quick - how does it work
- if metatag fragment with content "!" is found
- htmlparser tries to get content of htmls snapshot (using a different url)
- htmlparser returns 2 documents (original url and snapshot content - but using same original url)
- after parsing result documents are joined (and stored to index containing content also from snapshot page... as the original ajax page contains typically no parseable html content)
Reads document level included title and description and skips the graphic content to save bandwidth.
svg metadata element is not interpreted
- remove rdfParser from init (current function identical with genericParser)
