Hopefully the switch from our Apache HTTP client to Jetty HTTP client SolrClient implementations will go smoothly but there are some subtle differences. Question: does anyone recall any; ideally a JIRA reference? I looked and turned up nothing but I figure there must be some.
The Apache one supports a retry mechanism that is configured via a System Property -- "solr.httpclient.retries". The default is 3 but SolrTestCaseJ4 specifies 1; some tests specify 0. It's implemented by org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.SolrHttpRequestRetryHandler handling a variety of cases that were probably hard-fought discoveries. I can't find this in the Jetty one except for a one-off implementation in LBHttp2SolrClient. ~ David Smiley Apache Lucene/Solr Search Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley
