to clarify, it's really just one approach, with an extension: Nutch is still "timingout" the underlying Lucene calls by using a HitCollector -- it's just extending the basic concept to use a Timer thread to abort at the timeout without waiting for a collect call to notice that too much time has elapsed. This Timer version Nutch is using certainly seems like a more robust and elegent approach to me ... i'm just shy about spining up Threads ... i think it stems from making lots of disasterous multithreading mistakes in C code when i was a foolish young engineer. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
