Re: query routing with shards
Hi Otis, I have fixed it by assigning the value to rb same as assigned to sreq: rb.shards = shards.toString().split(","); not tested that fully yet, but distributed faceting works at least on my pc _3 shards 1 router_ setup.

Re: query routing with shards
Hi Otis, I followed your recommendation and decided to implement the SearchComponent::modifyRequest(ResponseBuilder rb, SearchComponent who, ShardRequest sreq) method, where the query routing happens. So far it is working OK for the non-facet search, this is good news. The bad news is that it fails on the facet search. This is how request modification happens: [code_snippet, SearchComponent::modifyRequest] SolrQueryRequest req_routed = rb.req; req_routed = routeRequest(req_routed); rb.req = req_routed; sreq.shards = shards.toString().split(","); [/code_snippet] where shards is StringBuilder, that accumulates the shards the request should go to. req_routed also contains the target shards. Those are set like this: [code_snippet, my function routeRequest(SolrQueryRequest req)] // could not find clone(), used ref reassignment SolrQueryRequest req_local = req; ModifiableSolrParams params = new ModifiableSolrParams(req_local.getParams()); ... params.remove(ShardParams.SHARDS); params.set(ShardParams.SHARDS, getShardsParams(yearToQuarterMap)); params.remove(ShardParams.IS_SHARD); params.set(ShardParams.IS_SHARD, true); req_local.setParams(params); ... return req_local; [/code_snippet] The NPE happens down the road during the facet search, in the FacetComponent::countFacets(), the cause of which is that OpenBitSet obs is null for shardNum=0. Do you have any idea why this happens, should some other field of ResponseBuilder, SearchComponent or ShardRequest be changed? BTW, I have tried to call FacetInfo::parse method inside FacetComponent::modifyRequest() and countFacets(). Where do the fi.facets.values() get initiated, is there some method to call?

Re: query routing with shards
Nah, if you can quickly figure out which shard a given query maps to, then all this component needs to do is stick the appropriate shards param value in the request and let the request pass through to the other SearchComponents in the chain, including QueryComponent, which will know what to do with the shards param.

Re: query routing with shards
Hi Otis, Thanks! This sounds promising. This custom implementation, will it hurt in any way the stability of the front end SOLR? After implementing it, can I run some tests to verify the stability / performance?

Re: query routing with shards
Hi Dmitry, Yes, you could also implement your own custom SearchComponent. In this component you could grab the query param, examine the query value, and based on that add the shards URL param with appropriate value, so that when the regular QueryComponent grabs stuff from the request, it has the correct shard in there already.

Re: query routing with shards
Hi Otis, I merely followed on the gmail's suggestion to include other people into the recipients list, Yonik was the first one :) I won't do it next time. Thanks for a rapid reply. The reason for doing this query routing is that we abstract the distributed SOLR from the client code for security reasons (that is, we don't want to expose the entire shard farm to the world, but only the frontend SOLR) and for better decoupling. Is it possible to implement a plugin to SOLR that would map queries to shards? We have other choices too, they'll take quite some time, that's why I decided to quickly ask, if I was missing something from the SOLR main components design and configuration.

Re: query routing with shards
Hi Dmitry (you may not want to additionally copy Yonik, he's subscribed to this list, too) It sounds like you have the knowledge of which query maps to which shard. If so, why not control/change the value of "shards" param in the request to your front-end Solr (aka distributed request dispatcher) within your app, which is the one calling Solr?
