Hi devs,
I'd like to see about making a SolrCache implementation that uses the
memcached library @ http://www.whalin.com/memcached/. I believe that
this would be useful for replicated sites, allowing all the search nodes
to use a shared global cache.
From my reading of the LRUCache code and the SolrCache interface, it
seems like this is doable. I don't believe it's possible to implement
autowarming, as there doesn't seem to be a way to get a list of cached
keys from the memcached library.
Can someone comment on whether this seems like a good idea? I would like
to dig in the Solr internals, and this seems like a good starting point.
If so, I'm not certain how to pass up additional arguments to a custom
SolrCache implementation - I'd like to replace queryResultCache with my
implementation, but will need to provide additional configuration -
memcache server string, etc. Is it permissible to add custom attributes
to the queryResultCache configuration node?
Thanks for the feedback
-Shawn
