[lucene-solr] branch reference_impl updated (c15d948 -> 8f52de9)

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

markrmiller pushed a change to branch reference_impl
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene-solr.git.


 discard c15d948  @223 - Let's share more and start adding async ability to the search side as well.
     new 8f52de9  @223 - Let's share more and start adding async ability to the search side as well.

This update added new revisions after undoing existing revisions.
That is to say, some revisions that were in the old version of the
branch are not in the new version.  This situation occurs
when a user --force pushes a change and generates a repository
containing something like this:

 * -- * -- B -- O -- O -- O   (c15d948)
            \
             N -- N -- N   refs/heads/reference_impl (8f52de9)

You should already have received notification emails for all of the O
revisions, and so the following emails describe only the N revisions
from the common base, B.

Any revisions marked "omit" are not gone; other references still
refer to them.  Any revisions marked "discard" are gone forever.

The 1 revisions listed above as "new" are entirely new to this
repository and will be described in separate emails.  The revisions
listed as "add" were already present in the repository and have only
been added to this reference.

+/**
+ * LBHttpSolrClient or "LoadBalanced HttpSolrClient" is a load balancing wrapper around
+ * {@link HttpSolrClient}. This is useful when you
+ * have multiple Solr servers and the requests need to be Load Balanced among them.
+ *
+ * Do <b>NOT</b> use this class for indexing in master/slave scenarios since documents must be sent to the
+ * correct master; no inter-node routing is done.
+ *
+ * In SolrCloud (leader/replica) scenarios, it is usually better to use
+ * {@link CloudSolrClient}, but this class may be used
+ * for updates because the server will forward them to the appropriate leader.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * It offers automatic failover when a server goes down and it detects when the server comes back up.
+ * <p>
+ * Load balancing is done using a simple round-robin on the list of servers.
+ * <p>
+ * If a request to a server fails by an IOException due to a connection timeout or read timeout then the host is taken
+ * off the list of live servers and moved to a 'dead server list' and the request is resent to the next live server.
+ * This process is continued till it tries all the live servers. If at least one server is alive, the request succeeds,
+ * and if not it fails.
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ * SolrClient lbHttpSolrClient = new LBHttpSolrClient("http://host1:8080/solr/", "http://host2:8080/solr", "http://host2:8080/solr");
+ * //or if you wish to pass the HttpClient do as follows
+ * httpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
+ * SolrClient lbHttpSolrClient = new LBHttpSolrClient(httpClient, "http://host1:8080/solr/", "http://host2:8080/solr", "http://host2:8080/solr");
+ * </pre></blockquote>
+ * This detects if a dead server comes alive automatically. The check is done in fixed intervals in a dedicated thread.
+ * This interval can be set using {@link #setAliveCheckInterval} , the default is set to one minute.
+ * <p>
+ * <b>When to use this?</b><br> This can be used as a software load balancer when you do not wish to setup an external
+ * load balancer. Alternatives to this code are to use
+ * a dedicated hardware load balancer or using Apache httpd with mod_proxy_balancer as a load balancer. See <a
+ * href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_(computing)">Load balancing on Wikipedia</a>
