Description

with a little bit of typing I am able to add gzip to my solr's jetty, which is a big help for WAN access and completely out-of-band to solr, and only happens if the client requests it so I think it is is a good default.

I will just inline my code to this ticket:

#server/etc/jetty-gzip.xml
#just download it from here: http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-server/9.3.0.v20150612/etc/jetty-gzip.xml?av=f

#server/modules/gzip.mod
[depend]
server

[xml]
etc/jetty-gzip.xml

This is where you might want to add an option, but the result should look like this:

#bin/solr
else
  SOLR_JETTY_CONFIG+=("--module=http,gzip")
fi

I can now do this:

curl -vvv --compressed localhost:8983/solr/ > /dev/null

With:

< Content-Encoding: gzip
< Content-Length: 2890

Without:

< Content-Length: 13349

A regular query:
With:

< Content-Encoding: gzip
< Content-Length: 2876

Without:

< Content-Length: 17761
