Solr client 'CloudHttp2SolrClient' (version 8.11.1) after switching from ZK to Solr ulrs shows worse performance

56 views Asked by At

Such change is advertised by Solr creators as something that reduces dependency on ZK and is advised to be done to migrate to solr9: https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/upgrade-notes/major-changes-in-solr-9.html

We are using solr 8.11.1 and wanted to use solr urls instead of zk. After such change - http calls increased by 40-60% due to additional calls to get clusterState - that was previously retrieved from ZK

In fact, calls to getClusterState that are done internally by the httpclient are heavier in terms of performance after doing such a change as there are additional HTTP calls.

Code in question from CloudHttp2SolrClient class:

if (builder.zkHosts != null) {
        this.stateProvider = new ZkClientClusterStateProvider(builder.zkHosts, builder.zkChroot);
      } else if (builder.solrUrls != null && !builder.solrUrls.isEmpty()) {
        try {
          this.stateProvider = new Http2ClusterStateProvider(builder.solrUrls, builder.httpClient);
        } catch (Exception e) {
          throw new RuntimeException("Couldn't initialize a HttpClusterStateProvider (is/are the "
              + "Solr server(s), "  + builder.solrUrls + ", down?)", e);
        }
      }

Had anyone configured this client in a way that performance is not decreased after such a change? Maybe there is a way to not ask for cluster state so many times?
