Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-303: ------------------------------------ {quote} \\ For #3, are there SolrJ parts (or future parts) that we wouldn't want automatically bundled with Solr? \\ \\ {quote} I don't think so. The thing I want to make sure is still possible is that solrj can be distributed independently (without the lucene dependencies) The existing artifact topology makes sense as is: common, solrj, core. Currently we have: {code} + common + solrj + core {code} we need {code} + common + solrj +core {code} or {code} + common & solrj + core {code} This issue is essentially independent of SOLR-303, but we should try to make our source directory structures consistent with standard practice. {quote} \\ Saving an if() doesn't seem too compelling (the current code could certainly be refactored to be cleaner anyway). Are there other benefits to having a separate DistributedSearchHandler though? \\ \\ {quote} If there is a good reason to keep it the *same* handler then that is a reason enough. I just looked at it (without really grocking how it works) and it seemed a bit bloated with distribution lifecycle stuff. As long as the non-distributed request cycle isn't tied to the distributed stuff, I'm sure it is fine. ----- BTW, where does the term "shard" come from?
