This document is a work-in-progress and represents a very early state of the
|
||
|
|
Pods design. Significant aspects are not documented, though we expect to add
|
||
|
|
them in the future. This is one possible architecture for Pods, and we intend to
|
||
|
|
contrast this with alternatives before deciding which approach to implement.
|
||
|
|
This documentation will be kept even if we decide not to implement this so that
|
||
|
|
we can document the reasons for not choosing this approach.

# Pods: Global search
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When we introduce multiple Pods we intend to isolate all services related to
|
||
|
|
those Pods. This will include Elasticsearch which means our current global
|
||
|
|
search functionality will not work. It may be possible to implement aggregated
|
||
|
|
search across all pods, but it is unlikely to be performant to do fan-out
|
||
|
|
searches across all pods especially once you start to do pagination which
|
||
|
|
requires setting the correct offset and page number for each search.

## 3. Proposal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Likely first versions of Pods will simply not support global searches and then
|
||
|
|
we may later consider if building global searches to support popular use cases
|
||
|
|
is worthwhile.
