Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1044:
------------------------------------

Is our use of HTTP really a bottleneck?

My feeling has been that if we go to a call mechanism, it should be based on 
something more standard that will have many off the shelf bindings - perl, 
python, php, C, etc.

On the plus side of hadoop RPC, it could handle multiple requests per socket.  
That can also be a potential weakness though I think... a slow reader or writer 
for one request/response hangs up all the others.

> Use Hadoop RPC for inter Solr communication

> Solr uses http for distributed search . We can make it a whole lot faster if 
> we use an RPC mechanism which is more lightweight/efficient. 
> Hadoop RPC looks like a good candidate for this.  
> The implementation should just have one protocol. It should follow the Solr's 
> idiom of making remote calls . A uri + params +[optional stream(s)] . The 
> response can be a stream of bytes.
> To make this work we must make the SolrServer implementation pluggable in 
> distributed search. Users should be able to choose between the current 
> CommonshttpSolrServer, or a HadoopRpcSolrServer .
