The contract will be for the plugin to provide a constructor accepting config to create a new Plugin instance, then that instance will be called for each placement computation (and if the plugin doesn’t care about config, no arg constructor would be fine). Multiple plugin instances might be in use at the same time if so called by Solr (config changes or other reasons). This means the plugin instance must be reentrant and its member variables can’t directly be used as if specific to a single computation. Not a big deal, plugin implementor can delegate internally to an instance of another class if they want that option. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
