Lance Norskog commented on SOLR-1352: ------------------------------------- In the future, especially with multi-threaded operations, the DIH will benefit from converting to immutable objects wherever possible. I have used this technique on a few multithreaded projects and it has really helped: http://codeidol.com/java/effective-java/Processing/Item-38-Favor-the-immutable,-for-it-needs-no-locks/ ("Effective Enterprise Java" is one my favorite system architecture books.) > DIH: MultiThreaded > ------------------ > > Key: SOLR-1352 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1352 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib - DataImportHandler > Reporter: Noble Paul > Assignee: Noble Paul > Fix For: 1.5 > > Attachments: SOLR-1352.patch, SOLR-1352.patch, SOLR-1352.patch > > > It has been a long pending request to make DIH multithreaded. Now that we > have implemented most of the features , the next best thing we can aim for is > performance. DIH should be able to take advantage of multiple cores in a box > .I expect the configuration to be as follows > {code:xml} > <entity name="foo" threads="4"> > <!--more stuff goes here--> > </entity> > {code} > at the entity where the threads is specified it should fork into multiple > threads. If the threads<2 it executes w/o forking. In debug mode it > automatically becomes singlethreaded. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
