[jira] Commented: (SOLR-53) Allow symbolic links and rsync over ssh in snap scripts

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-53?page=comments#action_12441716 ] 
            
Bill Au commented on SOLR-53:
-----------------------------

The "-L" option to find isn't univeral to all versions of Unix/Linux.  For example,
it doesn't exist for the find in RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.

Our performance testing shows that using ssh instead of rsyncd slows down the file transfer by about 30%.  So the use of ssh should be optional for users where performance is important.

> Our index directories are symbolic links to a shared location because we use capistrano to deploy our Ruby on Rails application.  This caused problems with snappuller and snapinstaller, so I added the -L option to the find command to make it work.
> I also modified snappuller to rsync over ssh, which means there is no need to run the rsync daemon - one less service to run.
> I will attach the patch.
