- Efficient URL caching for World Wide Web crawling - http://research.microsoft.com/research/sv/sv-pubs/p96-broder/p96-broder.pdf
- 100 million pages per day need to be crawled to maintain high level of freshnesh
- 2003 estimate of web size: 4 billion pages, doubling in size each 9-12 months
- Includes descriptions of various crawlers
- Describes various ways to cache Urls: Infinite, clairvoyant caching (MIN), static caching, CLOCK, random replacement, LRU, static,
- Details of web crawl:
During the crawl,
the four machines performed 1.04 billion download attempts, 784
million of which resulted in successful downloads. 429 million of
the successfully downloaded documents were HTML pages. These pages contained about 26.83 billion links, equivalent to an average
of 62.55 links per page; however, the median number of links per
page was only 23, suggesting that the average is inflated by some
pages with a very high number of links. Earlier studies reported
only an average of 8 links [9] or 17 links per page [33]. We offer
three explanations as to why we found more links per page. First,
we configured Mercator to not limit itself to URLs found in anchor
tags, but rather to extract URLs from all tags that may contain them
(e.g. image tags). This configuration increases both the mean and
the median number of links per page. Second, we configured it to
download pages up to 16 MB in size (a setting that is significantly
higher than usual), making it possible to encounter pages with tens
2144 GB of disk space was by far too small to hold both the URL
log generated by the host splitter and the crawl metadata, such as
the URL frontier. As the crawl progressed, we had to continuously
move data to other machines with more disk space.
