Hello,
I work near Cambridge at the EMBL-EBI and I would like to contribute to SOLR.
Our current project involved 2 teams developing a full text search service
based on SOLR 3.6.
We have had issues when trying to replicate a master copy of an index to a
slave using HTTP proxy settings passed to the JRE.
To solve this issue, I've created a copy of the SnapPuller and the
ReplicationHandler, modified the code to manage
proxy settings and modified the configuration of the SOLR slave to use this new
handler.
We have tested the replication using proxy settings in our environment with
success.
What I would like to do now is to apply these changes to the SnapPuller
directly:
- check proxy settings before creating the httpClient
- apply the proxy setting to the httpClient HostConfiguration.
I don't want to patch 3.6 and would like to apply the change to SOLR 4.
Please, tell me what do you think about this change and if I can proceed.
What is the usual procedure to commit code?
Best regards,
Gautier
