Mark Miller commented on SOLR-12297:
------------------------------------
I've grown even more confident we should move away from Apache's HttpClient.
* It's been slow to support HTTP2 (support is in 5 beta currently).
* There is a separate sub project called AsyncHttpClient for async support.
* HTTP2 is a different API than HTTP1/1.1
* I've never been a fan of the API itself.
* The project has fairly low activity compared to Jetty.
For Jetty HttpClient
* There is a single client for blocking and async support. That client also
works for HTTP2 (although there is a lower level client as well).
* The same project releases both client and server, testing them together,
building them together.
* Anything Jetty supports or fixes will flow much faster to their own client.
* There API rewrite is much nicer IMO than what Apache HttpClient has been.
* The Jetty team is very responsive to our project.
> Create a good SolrClient for SolrCloud paving the way for async requests,
> HTTP2, multiplexing, and the latest & greatest Jetty features.

> Key: SOLR-12297
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12297
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Reporter: Mark Miller
> Priority: Major
>
> Blocking or async support as well as HTTP2 compatible with multiplexing.
> Once it supports enough and is stable, replace internal usage, allowing
> async, and eventually move to HTTP2 connector and allow multiplexing. Could
> support HTTP1.1 and HTTP2 on different ports depending on state of the world
> then.
> The goal of the client itself is to work against HTTP1.1 or HTTP2 with
> minimal or no code path differences and the same for async requests (should
> initially work for both 1.1 and 2 and share majority of code).
> The client should also be able to replace HttpSolrClient and plug into the
> other clients the same way.
> I doubt it would make sense to keep ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient eventually
> though.
> I evaluated some clients and while there are a few options, I went with
> Jetty's HttpClient. It's more mature than Apache HttpClient's support (in 5
> beta) and we would have to update to a new API for Apache HttpClient anyway.
> Meanwhile, the Jetty guys have been very supportive of helping Solr with any
> issues and I like having the client and server from the same project.
