We are running into some issues with large queries. Initially, they were ostensibly header buffer overruns, because increasing Jetty's headerBufferSize value to 65536 resolved them. This seems like a kludge, but it does solve the problem for 95% of our users.
However, we do have queries that are physically larger than that and for which increasing the headerBufferSize to 65536 does not work. This is due to security requirements: Security descriptors are baked into the index, and then potentially thousands of them (depending on the user context) are passed in with each query. These excessive queries are only a problem with approximately 5% of users who are highly entitled, but the number of security descriptors in are likely to increase and we won't have a workaround for this security policy any time soon. After a lot of Googling, it seems to me that it's common to increase the headerBufferSize, but I don't see any other strategies. Is it possible/feasible to switch to use POST for querying?
