I don't really know a lot about RMI, but as i understand it, Serialization
is a core neccessity -- if the arguments you want to pass to your Remote
Method aren't serializable, then RMI can't pass those argument across the
wire.
That said: it's not clear to me from the psuedocode/stacktrace you
included *what* isn't serializable ... is it a Solr class or a core Lucene
class?
If it's a Lucene class, you may want to start by making a small proof
of concept RMI app that just uses the Lucene core classes, once that
works then try your changes in Solr.

: Subject: extending SolrIndexSearcher
:
: Hi,
:
: I am looking at extending the source code for SolrIndexSearcher for my own
: purposes. Basically, I am trying to replace the use of Lucene's
: IndexSearcher with a ParallelMultiSearcher version so that I can have a
: query search both locally available indexes as well as remote indexes
: available only via RMI. This ParallelMultiSearcher is instantiated to
: consist of both local and remote Searchable references. The local
: Searchables are simply IndexSearcher instances tied to local disk (separate
: indexes), while the remote Searchables are made reachable via RMI.
:
: In essence, where it used to be:
:
: IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(reader);
:
: it is now: (not the actual code but similar)
:
: Searchable[] searchables = new Searchable[3];
: for (int i=0; i<2; i++) {
: // Local searchable:
: searchables[i] = new IndexSearcher("/disk" + i + "/index");
: }
:
: // RMI searchable: throws exception during search..
: searchables[2] = (Searchable) Naming.lookup
: ("//remote_host:1099/remote_svc");
:
: ParallelMultiSearcher searcher = new ParallelMultiSearcher(sch);
:
: When I build the source and use it (the short story, by replacing the
: relevant class file(s) within solr.war used by the example jetty
: implementation), it starts up just fine. If I comment out the RMI
: searchable line, submission of a search query to Jetty/Solr works just fine,
: and it is able to search any number of indexes. However, with the RMI
: searchable uncommented out, I get an exception thrown (here's the ending of
: it):

: So it looks like it requires Serialization somehow to get it to work.
: Wondering if anyone has any ideas to get around this problem.
