Here a new concept called 'search heuristics' is introduced. A heuristic is a kind of 'shortcut' to good results in IT, here for good search results. In this case it will be used to get a very transparent way to compare what YaCy is able to produce as search result and what g**gle produces as search result. Here is what your can do now:
- add the phrase 'heuristic:scroogle' to your search query, like 'oil spill heuristic:scroogle' and then a call to scroogle is made to get anonymous search results from g**gle.
- these results are _not_ taken as meta-search results, but are used to instantly feed a crawling and indexing process. This happens very fast, here 20 results from scroogle are taken and loaded all simultanously, parsed and indexed immediately and from the results of the parsed content the search result is feeded, along to the normal p2p search
- when new results from that heuristic (more to come) get part of the search results, then it is verified if such results are redundant to existing (they had been part of the normal YaCy search result anyway) or if they had been completely new to YaCy.
- in the search results the new search results from heuristics are marked with a 'H ++' and search results from heuristics that had been already found by YaCy are marked with a 'H ='. That means:
- you can now see YaCy and Scroogle search results in one result page but you also see that you would not have 'missed' the g**gle results when you would only have used YaCy.
- to make it short: YaCy now subsumes g**gle results. If you use only YaCy, you miss nothing.
to come: a configuration page that let you configure the usage of heuristics and get this feature by default.

The finalize method prevents that the memory, used by the objects containing the finalize method, is collected and available for the garbage collector. Instead, the memory allocated by such classes are enqueued to a java-internal finalize queue runner. This slows down all operations that uses a lot of object containing finalize methods.
this fix does not remove all finalize method, but such that may be used for throw-away objects that are allocated many times. This should cause a better run-time performance and less OutOfMemoryErrors

this was done because that servlet may be used for wget/cronjob
triggered crawl starts and it appears to be confusing that the
name of the crawl start servlet looks like a pure monitoring tool.

- fixes for bad equals() methods that had not been used by hash maps and therefore some classes did not work as objects in hash maps.
- this may also affect some cases where double-checks should have been, but did not work.

- added many stack trace outputs for exceptions in crawl profile handler to find the 'missing profile handle' bug
- catched one more timeout exception in httpd file loader

This is a major change in the organization of indexes.
Please consider a back-up of your data before you run this update.
All existing index files will be moved and renamed to a new position.
With this change, it will be possible to maintain different indexes for different purposes and it will be possible to have a distinction between DHT-in and DHT-out specific indexes. Tenants may also have their own index, and it may be possible to have histories and back-ups of indexes. This is just the beginning, many servlets must be adopted after this change, but all functions that had been there should still work.

- fixes for numerous other problems
- removed dead code
- resdesign of the strings-method, which produces now less memory overhead and may help to prevent OOMs
- another fix for the deadlock problem in SplitTable

- better Exception handling for web cache access
- distinction between access of web cache for proxy and crawler

this is the beginning of some architecture changes that will hopefully bring some more stability, speed and transparency to the search process.
git-svn-id: https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/yacy/trunk@6260 6c8d7289-2bf4-0310-a012-ef5d649a1542
- better control to the cache by using combined request-header and content access methods
- refactoring of many classes to comply to this new access method
- make shure that the cache is always written if something was loaded
- some redesign of the process how http response results are feeded into the new indexing queue
- introduction of a cache read policy:
* never use the cache
* use the cache if entry exist
* use the cache if the proxy freshness rule confirmes
* use only the cache and go never online
- added configuration options for the crawl profiles to use the new cache policies. There is not yet a input during crawl start to set the policy but this will be added in another step.
- set the default policies for the existing crawl profiles. If you want them to appear in your default profiles you must delete the crawl profiles database; othervise the policy is 'proxy freshness rule'
- enhanced some cache access methods in such a way that unnecessary retrievals are omitted (i.e. for size computation). That should reduce some IO but also a lot of CPU computation because sizes were computed after decompression of content after retrieval of the content from the disc.

- removed the plasma package. The name of that package came from a very early pre-version of YaCy, even before YaCy was named AnomicHTTPProxy. The Proxy project introduced search for cache contents using class files that had been developed during the plasma project. Information from 2002 about plasma can be found here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20020802110827/http://anomic.de/AnomicPlasma/index.html
We stil have one class that comes mostly unchanged from the plasma project, the Condenser class. But this is now part of the document package and all other classes in the plasma package can be assigned to other packages.
- cleaned up the http package: better structure of that class and clean isolation of server and client classes. The old HTCache becomes part of the client sub-package of http.
- because the plasmaSwitchboard is now part of the search package all servlets had to be touched to declare a different package source.
