Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-829:
--------------------------------------------
# Yes, the constructor call is moved to a different line, that's all.
# We disable checksum because if GZIP does checksums internally, so we do not
need to do it again. However, deflate does not use checksums and when we use
the InflaterInputStream, we should do checksums. This is not in the patch right
now.
# That code is exactly copied from CommonsHttpSolrServer. In this case, if we
are getting a compressed stream from the master, it should be decompressed and
written to the filesystem as it is. We do not need to worry about the type of
the response. This patch is only for this particular use-case.
I don't think this patch is in sync with Noble's latest proposal. A new one
will be needed.

> From a discussion on the mailing list solr-user, it would be useful to have
> an option to compress the files sent between servers for replication purposes.
> Files sent across between indexes can be compressed by a large margin
> allowing for easier replication between sites.
> ...Noted by Noble Paul
> we will use a gzip on both ends of the pipe . On the slave side you can say
> <str name="zip">true<str> as an extra option to compress and send data from
> server
> Other thoughts on issue:
> Do keep in mind that compression is a CPU intensive process so it is a trade
> off between CPU utilization and network bandwidth. I have see cases where
> compressing the data before a network transfer ended up being slower than
> without compression because the cost of compression and un-compression was
> more than the gain in network transfer.
> Why invent something when compression is standard in HTTP? --wunder
