Hoss Man commented on SOLR-2034:
--------------------------------
bq. I don't think adding many hoops for back compatibility is worth the
trouble. Note that that does not mean people can not use solrj to talk across
different versions - they may have to use xml though....
Agreed, my chief concern is what happens when someone tries to use SolrJ 1.4 to
talk to Solr 3.1 w/javabin (or vice versa).
A) If they get an error: great, i'm totaly fine with that -- we just document
that they should use XML in this case.
B) If the commands succeed, but the string data is _always_ corrupted, that's
not ideal -- but not totally horrible since the probably should be immediately
obvious and should have read the documentation and known not to do that.
C) if the commands succeed, but the string data is _sometimes_ corrupted (as i
recall, not every character is different in UTF8 vs Java's modified UTF8,
correct?) then that seems really bad ... people may start using javabin to
update their index and not notice for quite some time that big hard to identify
chunks of their data are corrupted.
as long a someone sanity checks that the situation is either #A or #B before
committing, i'm totally cool with it ... but #C scares the bejesus out of me.
(i'll try to run some tests myself in the next few days if no one else gets a
chance)
