NAME
LucyX::Remote::SearchServer - 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.
