Chris A. Mattmann commented on NUTCH-1832:
------------------------------------------
Sorry Julien, it was a quick commit. I'd be happy to discuss it more.
If I'm behing honest, I feel a bit left out on the discussion to *change the
behavior of Nutch* from not *requiring* indexing, in the first place. To me
this was a significant capability for Nutch - to simply use Nutch to pull down
content (like a smarter wget) initially as a test. It took several people who
we were working with for over 2 days *multiple hours* to even get Solr
installed (some on Windows laptops; some on Macs, etc.) and imagine my face
when I was telling them several times "You don't need Solr to work with Nutch"
only to find out that I was *totally wrong about that since the behavior had
changed*.
I appreciate the survey that you did. With ~40 respondents however, I disagree
that you've surveyed the majority of users of Nutch. I honestly had 40 people
using it the past few days and I can pretty much state that none of them
replied to your original survey.
We can go back and debate the original change that required indexing (which
wasn't required before). You can see my position on that, above.

> Nutch used to work out of the box, without requiring an indexing backend. As
> of 1.9, that's not the case anymore (it's possible even before that). Thanks
> to [~markus17] for pointing out that this is due to the indexing-solr plugin
> being enabled by default. We should disable it by default, so that the
> regression is removed.
