Hi, Until 5.x Solr would start on whatever port of the appserver chosen, i.e. 8983 for Jetty, 8080 for Tomcat etc. Now that Solr is a "standalone" app, why should we "inherit" Jetty's default port 8983 anymore?
So I propose we pick a brand new port number for Solr to use as default. Benefits: * Identity - people will immediately identify Solr by its port number. Even IANA? * Less risk of clash with existing Jetty service on the same server * We could pick a cleaner port which is not 6 syllables to pronounce :) PS: Same goes for the default URL. We could move to toplevel now http://localhost:8983/ I realize both of these will break a lot of docs and tools assuming where stuff is, but it has always been configurable anyway, so it's not a contract we have promised to stick to. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
