Re: Enable Gzip compression Solr 6.0

[nilaksh]

Hi Rick,

I am not sure that Solr can take that stand once it stopped producing a
standalone war (Rationale for which is rather well documented here:
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/WhyNoWar)
If Solr is asking users not to use standalone containers and wants to be
used as a Server then it must provide optimisations like compression that a
http-server (as http is the protocol supported).

Communication between a Java Web APP and Solr would also be over the wire
and in any decent setup will be likely to get congested under load. Thus,
its important to have the facility to gzip compress communication between
Solr and clients

Hi Mahmoud
Beware of using a proxy. Your web application will get attacked, and you should 
only forward the parameters that are needed for your app features. But you 
thought of that already.

Thanks Rick,

I already running Solr on my infrastructure and behind a web application.

The web application is working as a proxy before Solr, so I think I can 
compress the content on Solr end. But I have made it on the proxy now.

Thanks again,
Mahmoud

Hi Mahmoud
I assume you are running Solr 'behind' a web application, so Solr is not 
directly on the net.

The gzip compression is an Apache thing, and relates to your web application. 

Connections to Solr are within your infrastructure, so you might not want to 
gzip them. But maybe your setup​ is different?

Older versions of Solr used Tomcat which supported gzip. Newer versions use 
Zookeeper and Jetty and you prolly will find a way.

Enable Gzip compression Solr 6.0

[Mahmoud Almokadem]

Hello,

How can I enable Gzip compression for Solr 6.0 to save bandwidth between
the server and clients?

Thanks,
Mahmoud
