patrick o'leary commented on SOLR-565: -------------------------------------- There are 2 main differences 1) This provides optional enabling using distributed=true, where as setting defaults requires a client sending shards="" to disable. 2) Also allows you to keep your infrastructure topology out side of application configuration. There is a load method which also examines the time stamp on the topology file and reloads if a newer one exists. Saving you from having to restart the host to change your back end shards. > Component to abstract shards from clients > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-565 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-565 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: patrick o'leary > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.3 > > Attachments: distributor_component.patch > > > A component that will remove the need for calling clients to provide the > shards parameter for > a distributed search. > As systems grow, it's better to manage shards with in solr, rather than > managing each client. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
