Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-6832:
------------------------------------
That sounds like a perfect use-case for this option. In your setup, you have
an external load balancer and are not relying on SolrCloud itself or the
zookeeper-aware Java client (CloudSolrServer) to do the load balancing for you.
For an environment like that, letting SolrCloud forward the request adds a
completely unnecessary network hop, along with new Java objects and subsequent
garbage that must be collected.
This is why I said I didn't want to derail the work. If you have a solution,
we should try to get it to a state where it can be committed. It is very clear
that it will be an immense help for many users. I just don't want it to become
the default.
Trying to come up with a useful and descriptive option name that's not horribly
long ... that's a challenge. :) Something like handleRequestsLocally may be
too generic, but it's a lot shorter than handleShardRequestsLocallyIfPossible!
> Queries be served locally rather than being forwarded to another replica

> Key: SOLR-6832
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6832
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SolrCloud
> Affects Versions: 4.10.2
> Reporter: Sachin Goyal
>
> Currently, I see that code flow for a query in SolrCloud is as follows:
> For distributed query:
> SolrCore -> SearchHandler.handleRequestBody() -> HttpShardHandler.submit()
> For non-distributed query:
> SolrCore -> SearchHandler.handleRequestBody() -> QueryComponent.process()
> \\
> \\
> \\
> For a distributed query, the request is always sent to all the shards even if
> the originating SolrCore (handling the original distributed query) is a
> replica of one of the shards.
> If the original Solr-Core can check itself before sending http requests for
> any shard, we can probably save some network hopping and gain some
> performance.
> \\
> \\
> We can change SearchHandler.handleRequestBody() or HttpShardHandler.submit()
> to fix this behavior (most likely the former and not the latter).
