Noble Paul commented on SOLR-1044: ---------------------------------- bq.We're using persistent HTTP connections, so socket creation overhead should not be much of an issue. An HTTP connection can be re-used only after the request-response is complete. meanwhile, If there is another request to be fired to the same server from the same client , a new connection will have to be created. So the no:of connections we create will be quite high if we have a large no:of nodes in distributed search . I haven't yet seen a HTTP server serving more than around 1200 req/sec (apache HTTPD). A call based server can serve 4k-5k messages easily. (I am yet to test hadoop RPC) . The proliferation of a large no: of frameworks around that is a testimony to the superiority of that approach. > Use Hadoop RPC for inter Solr communication > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-1044 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1044 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: search > Reporter: Noble Paul > > 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 . -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
