Noble Paul commented on SOLR-922: --------------------------------- As I have already mentioned , I am supportive of the idea of having a common pool of threads shared across various services But, the problem is that means defining an extra API and may be having an extra configuration in say solrconfig.xml Let us leave aside the contribs (I mean DIH) .In the core there are a few common usecases . You can go ahead and propose an API and let us see how to use it best > Solr WebApp wide Executor for better efficient management of threads , > separating the logic in the thread from the launch of the same. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-922 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-922 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: clients - java > Environment: Tomcat 6, JRE 6 > Reporter: Kay Kay > Priority: Minor > > For a different jira - when we were discussing bringing in parallelism > through threads and using Executors - encountered a case of using a webapp > wide Executor for reusing thread pools for better use of thread resources , > instead of thread.start() . > pros: Custom Request Handlers and other plugins to the Solr App server can > use this Executor API to retrieve the executor and just submit the Runnable / > Callable impls to get the job done while getting the benefits of a thread > pool .
