Solr binary response for C#?

[naptowndev <na...@gmail.com>]

Admittedly I'm new to this, but the project we're working on feeds results
from Solr to an ASP.net application.  Currently we are using XML, but our
payloads can be rather large, some up to 17MB.  We are looking for a way to
minimize that payload and increase performance and I'm curious if there's
anything anyone has been working out that creates a binary response that can
be read by C# (similar to the javabin response built into Solr).

That, or if anyone has experience implementing an external protocol like
Thrift with Solr and consuming it with C# - again all in the effort to
increase performance across the wire and while being consumed.

Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

I just created a JIRA to investigate an Avro based serialization format for Solr: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3135
You're welcome to contribute. Guess we'll first need to define schemas, then create an AvroResponseWriter and then support in the C# Solr client.

It's not as compact as binary format, but would just using something
like JSON help enough? This is really simple, just specify
&wt=json (there's a method to set this on the server, at least in Java).

Otherwise, you might get a more knowledgeable response on the
C# java list, I'm frankly clueless....
