Akshay K. Ukey updated SOLR-829:
--------------------------------
Attachment: solr-829.patch
Patch with additional configuration in replicationhandler as suggested by Noble.
{code:xml}
<lst name="slave">
<!-- values can be internal|external. -->
<str name="compression">internal</str>
</lst>
{code}
If internal compression is used InflaterInputStream and DeflaterOutputStream
Java apis are used for data transfer from master to slaves.
If external compression is used Accept-Encoding header value is set to
"gzip,deflate" before making request to the master. And the container has to be
configured with appropriate setting. E.g. In case of Tomcat, following settings
are to be done in the Connector section to use Tomcat's compression mechanism:
{code:xml}
<Connector .... compression=on
compressableMimeType="application/octet-stream,text/html,text/xml,text/plain"
compressionMinSize="somePreferredValue"/>
{code}

> 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
