Sharding: Configuration Options

• The following configuration options control sharded import stream compression and HTTP communication between the orchestrator and the shards.

  Learn how to apply configuration options in Configuration Overview.

• In this article:

  • Sharding.Import.CompressionLevel
  • Sharding.OrchestratorTimeoutInMin
  • Sharding.ShardExecutor.UseHttpCompression
  • Sharding.ShardExecutor.UseHttpDecompression

Sharding.Import.CompressionLevel

The compression level used when the orchestrator sends imported data to the shards during a smuggler import.

• Type: CompressionLevel (NoCompression, Optimal, Fastest, SmallestSize)
• Default: NoCompression
• Scope: Server-wide or per database

Sharding.OrchestratorTimeoutInMin

• Sets the maximum timeout, in minutes, for HTTP requests that the orchestrator sends to shards.
• By default, this timeout is infinite, so no timeout is enforced by this setting.

---

• Type: int (minutes)
• Default: Infinite (no timeout)
• Scope: Server-wide only

Sharding.ShardExecutor.UseHttpCompression

Compress HTTP request content sent by the orchestrator to the shards.

• Type: bool
• Default: false
• Scope: Server-wide only

Sharding.ShardExecutor.UseHttpDecompression

Allow the orchestrator to accept and decompress compressed HTTP responses from the shards.

• Type: bool
• Default: false
• Scope: Server-wide only
