: We have a need to query and fetch millions of document ids from a Solr 3.3 : index and convert the same to a BitSet. To speed things up, we want to : convert these document ids into OpenBitSet on the server side, put them into : the response object and read the same on the client side.
This smells like an XY Problem ... what do you intend to do with this BitSet on the client side? the lucene doc ids are meaningless outside of hte server, and for any given doc, the id could change from one request to the next -- so how would having this data on the clinet be of any use to you? https://people.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem XY Problem Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y" without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the full issue. Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all? See Also: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=542341 -Hoss
