Although we do not plan to implement Solr to be access over the internet directly, it will be accessed via a local area network (Eg within the company). As there could potentially be alot of data indexed in Solr (especially rich-text documents), and that will probably take up alot of bandwidth, we wanted gzip compression so that we can save on the bandwidth.
Do you mean the compression should be done at the HTTP server and not at Solr? Regards, Edwin On 26 May 2015 at 04:13, Upayavira <u...@odoko.co.uk> wrote: > Why do you want gzip compression?
