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.
