Coda Hale commented on SOLR-122:
--------------------------------
Thanks, Erik!
I didn't refactor Solr::Response::Xml mainly because it's much harder --
REXML's XPath support is, um, unique and special like a snowflake, so it's more
than just making the method profiles line up. I figured eventually I or someone
else would write Solr::XML::Parser, then have that run either REXML or
libxml-ruby, depending on what loaded.
I'll open another issue when it comes to that. ;-)
> Add optional support for Ruby-libxml2 (vs. REXML)
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-122
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-122
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients - ruby - flare
> Reporter: Coda Hale
> Attachments: libxml.rb, libxml.rb, solrb_libxml_support.diff
>
>
> This file adds drop-in support for the ruby-libxml2, which is a wrapper for
> the libxml2 library, which is an order of magnitude or so faster than REXML.
> This depends on my SOLR-121 patch for multi-document adds, since the behavior
> of Solr::Request::AddDocument#to_s is different.
> Requiring this makes some tests fail, but for trivial reasons: some tests are
> directly tied to REXML, others fail due to interelement whitespace added by
> libxml2 (which you can't disable via the Ruby interface). Functionally, it's
> identical, and passes all functional tests.
