Frontier
The Frontier is a Spring bean that maintains the internal state of the crawl. The state of the crawl contains information such as previously crawled or discovered URIs, as well as other information relevant to the crawl's status.
There is only one Frontier per crawl job.
In Heritrix 3.0 and 3.1 there is only one kind of Frontier, the BdbFrontier. Other Frontiers that were included in Heritrix 1.x are no longer supported.
