Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-565: ----------------------------------- DistributedSearch was designed such that a custom component could be developed that set "shards" dynamically based on it's topology knowledge. If the main point of this patch is to move "shards" from solrconfig.xml to a separate file, I'm not sure it's worth it.... that could perhaps be done with an XML entity. If there are separate changes to Distributed Search or ResponseBuilder that will make it easier to write a component to do this, then we should consider those changes separately. > 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 > Assignee: Otis Gospodnetic > 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.
