This document discusses using Nutch, an open source web crawler, with Scala. It provides an overview of Nutch's architecture and how plugins can be written in Scala to extend its functionality. As an example, it describes how Scala was used to build a plugin for an aggregator application that crawls multiple suppliers, parses content to extract details, and passes this data to an actor for processing. The solution was able to crawl 5 suppliers and collect over 500k records using Nutch and 823 lines of Scala code.
