It powers full-text, vector, analytics, and geospatial search at many of the world's largest organizations. Other major features include Kubernetes and docker integration, streaming, highlighting, faceting, and spellchecking. + +Solr 9.11.0 is available for immediate download at: + + <https://solr.apache.org/downloads.html> + +### Solr 9.11.0 Release Highlights: + + * Added new range field types — `IntRangeField`, `LongRangeField`, `FloatRangeField`, and `DoubleRangeField` — for storing and querying numeric ranges, plus an experimental `numericRange` query parser. + * Extended nested/block document support: the parent and child query parsers gained a `parentPath` local parameter (`childPath` also added) that automatically derives the correct filter from document nesting, so queries no longer need to reference the internal nest path field directly. Also added a root-document query shortcut for nested document queries. Index sorting now works correctly with nested documents. + * Added hybrid search based on reciprocal rank fusion (RRF) via a new combined query search handler, merging multiple query strategies into one ranked result set. Also supports result collapsing and query elevation. + * Added support for multiple dense vectors per document (nested vectors), enabling multi-valued vector search. + * Added `MergeOnFlushMergePolicy`, merging small segments together at commit, reducing segments to search. + * Added `ContentHashVersionProcessor`, an update processor avoiding index churn when re-adding documents with identical content. + * Expanded streaming expression `rollup` with new metrics: missing-value counts, count-distinct, percentile, standard deviation. + * Added support for stored fields in Export Writer output, not just docValues. + * Added an `UPGRADECOREINDEX` core admin action to upgrade an index format in place without reindexing. + * The Luke handler now aggregates results across all shards by default. + * Improved `multiThreaded=true` query performance when a docset is needed, such as faceting. + * JWT authentication's `blockUnknown` setting now defaults to `true`, blocking unauthenticated requests by default; it previously defaulted to `false` despite documentation stating otherwise. Deployments relying on pass-through authentication must now explicitly set `blockUnknown` to `false`. + * Added an `allowZkHosts` setting to restrict which ZooKeeper connection strings a cross-collection join or streaming expression may target. The local SolrCloud ensemble is always allowed. + * Removed `LocalTikaExtractionBackend` from the extraction module (SolrCell); extracting content via a remote Tika Server is now the only option. + * And more features/improvements. + * Fixed MANY bugs. + +Please refer to the Upgrade Notes in the Solr Ref Guide for information on upgrading from previous Solr versions: + + <https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/9_11/upgrade-notes/solr-upgrade-notes.html> + +Please read CHANGELOG.md for a full list of new features, changes and bugfixes: + + <https://solr.apache.org/9_11_0/changes/Changes.html> + +### Thanks to all contributors: + +Abhishek Umarjikar, Alessandro Benedetti, Andrzej Bialecki, Andy Webb, Arup Chauhan, Bartosz Fidrysiak, David Smiley, Dmitrii Tikhonov, Eric Pugh, Francois Huaulme, Gaurav Tuli, Houston Putman, Idan Tepper, Jalaz Kumar, James Vanneman, Jan Høydahl, Jason Gerlowski, Li Enlai, Luke Kot-Zaniewski, Mark Miller, Matthew Biscocho, Olivier Boudet, Pierre Salagnac, Puneet Ahuja, Puneet Sharma, Rahul Goswami, Rajat Raghav, Ravi Ranjan Jha, Renato Haeberli, Samuel Verstraete, Sanjay Kumar Yadav, S [...]
