In addition,
on most computers you extract to your windows “Desktop” and for most users this is also using a white space (the user name has in most cases white space in the name), this is also bad user experience.

May be we can either fix it or document the way to use it so that this doesn't happen (put the path in quotes or something?). The worst case, we should document that it doesn't work in such cases and the steps from there on. Leaving it as is would be a problem for users as they wouldn't even have a way to get around, with all the documentation about the traditional way of starting/stopping Solr yanked from the Ref guide. P.S.: I'll do whatever is in my hands to get this out soon, but can't promise on that. You would have an RC though :-).

[2:21:52.553327] Unfortunately, Solr still has the problem that Windows scripts to startup/shutdown and create collections don’t work if you have spaces in the installation path. This is quite common on Windows (e.g. the default installation folder is named “c:\Program Files” – if you install Solr there you cannot even start it without error messages (Access Denied) – but it still starts up. But running techproducts demo fails horrible with crazy error messages). I played around with some other install dir, but to me this is still a blocker, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7016 In addition on Windows, shutting down *all* Solr servers does not work. "solr.cmd stop –all” looks like a no-op. Shutting down a single solr server goes sometimes into a loop of “Waiting 10 seconds…” and then “cannot find xxx.port file”. So I had to shutdown the whole cloud manually. So +/- 0 to release Solr as-is, I would like that somebody takes care of above issues. This makes Solr unuseable on Windows. I would give my +1 to release Lucene... (but this does not help) Uwe P.S.: If we get this out this week I can announce this release together with my talk about Lucene/Solr 5 at FOSDEM 2015 in Brussels!
