Shawn Heisey commented on LUCENE-5589:
--------------------------------------

My big concern with the release artifacts is user download time.  The Solr 
binary download is *HUGE* ... whenever I need to download a binary release to 
update my custom projects, I dread doing so when I'm at home where bandwidth is 
limited.

Solr's competition includes ElasticSearch.  Their .zip download is 21.6MB and 
the .tar.gz is even smaller.  Solr's .war file is larger than either, and 
that's just the tip of the iceberg.  There's a lot more 'stuff' in a Solr 
download, but the majority of users don't need that stuff.  Why should they 
download it unless they need it?


> release artifacts are too large.

> Doing a release currently products *600MB* of artifacts. This is unwieldy...
