You're right Matthew. Jetty supports it for responses but for requests it doesn't seem to be the default. However I found a configuration not documented that needs to be set in the GzipHandler for it to work: inflateBufferSize.
For SolrJ it still hacky to send gzip requests, maybe easier to use a regular http call.. --- De : matthew sporleder <msporle...@gmail.com> Envoyé : jeudi 7 janvier 2021 16:43 À : solr-user@lucene.apache.org <solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Objet : Re: Sending compressed (gzip) UpdateRequest with SolrJ jetty supports http gzip and I've added it to solr before in my own installs (and submitted patches to do so by default to solr) but I don't know about the handling for solrj. IME compression helps a little, sometimes a lot, and never hurts. Even the admin interface benefits a lot from regular old http gzip On Thu, Jan 7, 2021 at 8:03 AM Gael Jourdan-Weil <gael.jourdan-w...@kelkoogroup.com> wrote: > > Answering to myself on this one. > > Solr uses Jetty 9.x which does not support compressed requests by itself > meaning, the application behind Jetty (that is Solr) has to decompress by > itself which is not the case for now. > Thus even without using SolrJ, sending XML compressed in GZIP to Solr (with > cURL for instance) is not possible for now. > > Seems quite surprising to me though. > > ----- > > Hello, > > I was wondering if someone ever had the need to send compressed (gzip) update > requests (adding/deleting documents), especially using SolrJ. > > Somehow I expected it to be done by default, but didn't find any > documentation about it and when looking at the code it seems there is no > option to do it.
