    Description

      I spent time debugging our HttpSolrServer and HttpClient. We construct our HttpClient (we have some requirement regarding about connectionTimeout, soTimeout, etc.) and then pass it to HttpSolrServer. I found out that all our socket level and connection level configuration are ignored when creating a http connection.

      The problem is in HttpClient 4.3.X, they allow overriding of these parameters per request i.e. one request can have socketTimeout=100ms and another request can have socketTimeout=200ms. The logic[1] to check whether to make it per-request base config or not depending on whether any of these parameters is set.

       protected NamedList<Object> executeMethod(HttpRequestBase method, final ResponseParser processor) throws SolrServerException {
      // XXX client already has this set, is this needed?
      method.getParams().setParameter(ClientPNames.HANDLE_REDIRECTS,
      followRedirects);
      method.addHeader("User-Agent", AGENT);
      

      In HttpSolrServer.java, only one parameter (HANDLE_REDIRECTS) is set but that trigger the logic in HttpClient to initialize a default per-request base config, which eventually override any socket and connection configuration, we did via HttpClientBuilder.

      To conclude, a solution would be to remove these line

      // XXX client already has this set, is this needed?
      method.getParams().setParameter(ClientPNames.HANDLE_REDIRECTS,
      followRedirects);
