Simple Wiki Index

271222 pages indexed

This project has been created to play around with the Wikipedia dataset. The goal is to calculate the distance between two pages, that is, how many clicks are required to get from one page to the other by only using the links on each page.

Currently only the Simple Wikipedia has been indexed. The reason for this is that the entire index (containing page title + references) is stored in memory. Now, to index the English Wikipedia either more memory is required or the data needs to be partially stored on disk (or the memory footprint reduced with another way).
