Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-856:
--------------------------------------------
bq. If that's the consensus then i'm okay with that, but my personal preference
would be to do it in a container agnostic manner (by explicitly using a Filter
that does this in the stock web.xml) so that it works well for all users,
regardless of container, out of the box. users who are knowledgeable about
java, servlet containers, load balancers, etc... can then comment that filter
out of the web.xml (or replace it with something else)
I just committed SOLR-829 which makes it possible to use external compression
(i.e. provided by containers) and also internal compression managed by
ReplicationHandler itself. By default, compression is not used and it needs to
be enabled explicitly on the slave's solconfig.xml so that the slave requests
compression from the master. I feel that configuring internal compression is
best configured through solrconfig.xml. Changing the web.xml after exploding
the war is inconvenient. Also, compression logic is added directly to
replication handler (for managing internal compression) because we do not need
to compress other Solr responses. It is only the replication handler which
needs this feature and that too only for replicating over slow connections
(e.g. replicating across data centers).
bq. So .... is this a "Won't Fix" situation?
I think so.
