LucyX::Remote::SearchServer(3) Make a Searcher remotely accessible.

SYNOPSIS


my $searcher = Lucy::Search::IndexSearcher->new(
index => '/path/to/index'
);
my $search_server = LucyX::Remote::SearchServer->new(
searcher => $searcher
);
$search_server->serve(
port => 7890
);

DESCRIPTION

The SearchServer class, in conjunction with either SearchClient or ClusterSearcher, makes it possible to run a search on one machine and report results on another.

By aggregating several SearchClients under a ClusterSearcher, the cost of searching what might have been a prohibitively large monolithic index can be distributed across multiple nodes, each with its own, smaller index.

METHODS

new

    my $search_server = LucyX::Remote::SearchServer->new(
        searcher => $searcher, # required
    );

Constructor. Takes hash-style parameters.

  • searcher - the Searcher that the SearchServer will wrap.

serve

    $search_server->serve(
        port => 7890,      # required
    );

Open a listening socket on localhost and wait for SearchClients to connect.

  • port - the port on localhost that the server should open and listen on.

serve_rpc

    my $status = $search_server->serve_rpc($sock);

Handle a single RPC from socket $sock. Returns 'done' if the connection should be closed. Returns 'terminate' if the server should shut down. Returns 'continue' if the server should continue to handle requests from this client.
