Bill Bell created SOLR-7827:
-------------------------------
Summary: BSON Response Writer
Key: SOLR-7827
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7827
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Bill Bell
Why not support BSON (we recently added SMILE).
BSON and Smile are two distinct binary formats. They are related in that they
are both based on the logical format of JSON (i.e., key-value objects) but they
are distinct in that they write incompatible binary formats (you can neither
directly read Smile as BSON nor vice-versa.) They also have different
incompatible features (e.g., BSON defines a date type, while Smile does not as
far as I can tell.)
BSON is the binary serialization used by MongoDB for network transfer and disk
serialization. Smile is the binary JSON format used by the Jackson project. I
don't know why these two projects created different binary formats with such
similar purposes. One reason might be that the MongoDB project required dates
for their particular application, whereas the JSON format lacks a date type,
and adherance to the JSON format may have been the reason that the Smile format
does not include a date type.
