Class NodePreferenceRulesComparator

org.apache.solr.client.solrj.routing.NodePreferenceRulesComparator

public class NodePreferenceRulesComparator extends Object
This comparator makes sure that the given replicas are sorted according to the given list of preferences. E.g. If all nodes prefer local cores then a bad/heavily-loaded node will receive fewer requests from healthy nodes. This will help prevent a distributed deadlock or timeouts in all the healthy nodes due to one bad node.

Optional final preferenceRule is *not* used for pairwise sorting, but instead defines how "equivalent" replicas will be ordered (the base ordering). Defaults to "random"; may specify "stable".
