Hello all, I've been working on a plugin with a custom component and a few handlers for a research project. It's aim is to do some interesting distributed work, however I seem to have come to a road block when trying to respond to a clients request in multiple steps. Not even sure if this is possible with Solr but after no luck on the IRC channel, thought I'd ask here.
What I'd like to achieve is to be able to have the requestHandler return results to a user as soon as it has data available, then continue processing or performing other distributed calls, and then return some more data, all on the same single client request. Now my understanding is that solr does some kind of streaming. Not sure how it's technically done over http in Solr so any information would be useful. I believe something like this would work well but again not sure: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding I also came across this issue/feature request in JIRA but not completely sure what the conclusion was or how someone might do/use this. Is it even relevant to what I'm looking for? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-578 Thank you very much for any help and time you can spare! Nicholas (incunix)
