## Class WebGraph

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configured
  - - org.apache.nutch.scoring.webgraph.WebGraph

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Tool

      public class WebGraph
      extends Configured
      implements Tool

  Creates three databases, one for inlinks, one for outlinks, and a node database that holds the number of in and outlinks to a url and the current score for the url. The score is set by an analysis program such as LinkRank. The WebGraph is an update-able database. Outlinks are stored by their fetch time or by the current system time if no fetch time is available. Only the most recent version of outlinks for a given url is stored. As more crawls are executed and the WebGraph updated, newer Outlinks will replace older Outlinks. This allows the WebGraph to adapt to changes in the link structure of the web. The Inlink database is created from the Outlink database and is regenerated when the WebGraph is updated. The Node database is created from both the Inlink and Outlink databases. Because the Node database is overwritten when the WebGraph is updated and because the Node database holds current scores for urls it is recommended that a crawl-cycle (one or more full crawls) fully complete before the WebGraph is updated and some type of analysis, such as LinkRank, is run to update scores in the Node database in a stable fashion.

                                     java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

      Creates the three different WebGraph databases, Outlinks, Inlinks, and Node. If a current WebGraph exists then it is updated, if it doesn't exist then a new WebGraph database is created.
      Parameters:
        `webGraphDb` - The WebGraph to create or update.
        `segments` - The array of segments used to update the WebGraph. Newer segments and fetch times will overwrite older segments.
        `normalize` - whether to use URLNormalizers on URL's in the segment
        `filter` - whether to use URLFilters on URL's in the segment
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - If an error occurs while processing the WebGraph.
        `java.lang.InterruptedException`
        `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException`

    - #### main

          public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                           throws java.lang.Exception

      Throws:
        `java.lang.Exception`

    - #### run

          public int run(java.lang.String[] args)
                  throws java.lang.Exception

      Parses command link arguments and runs the WebGraph jobs.
      Specified by:
