Trey Grainger commented on SOLR-10494: -------------------------------------- Question: I'm making indent=on the default. Any objections if I make indent=on the default for all TextResponseWriters, or do I need to limit the change to only the "wt=json" (now default writer) case. The writers impacted from what I can tell are: GEOJSONWriter JSONWriter XMLWriter SchemaXMLWriter PHPWriter PythonWriter RubyWriter It's a little complicated because most of these (geojson, php, python, ruby) actually inherit from the JSONWriter, so if I need to leave indent=off on those then I have to go in and set it explicitly on them since their base class will now have indent on by default. Unless anyone objects, I'm just going to set indent=on by default on all of these. Please let me know if anyone disagrees. > Switch Solr's Default Response Type from XML to JSON > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-10494 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10494 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Affects Versions: master (7.0) > Reporter: Trey Grainger > Priority: Minor > Fix For: master (7.0) > > > Solr's default response format is still XML, despite the fact that Solr has > supported the JSON response format for over a decade, developer mindshare has > clearly shifted toward JSON over the years, and most modern/competing systems > also use JSON format now by default. > In fact, Solr's admin UI even explicitly adds wt=json to the request (by > default in the UI) to override the default of wt=xml, so Solr's Admin UI > effectively has a different default than the API. > We have now introduced things like the JSON faceting API, and the new more > modern /V2 apis assume JSON for the areas of Solr they cover, so clearly > we're moving in the direction of JSON anyway. > I'd like propose that we switch the default response writer to JSON (wt=json) > instead of XML for Solr 7.0, as this seems to me like the right direction and > a good time to make this change with the next major version. > Based upon feedback from the Lucene Dev's mailing list, we want to: > 1) Change the default response writer type to "wt=json" and also change to > "indent=on" by default > 2) Make no changes on the update handler side; it already works as desired > (it returns the response in the same content-type as the request unless the > "wt" is passed in explicitly). > 3) Keep the /query request handler around since people have already used it > for years to do JSON queries > 4) Add a commented-out "wt=xml" to the solrconfig.xml as a reminder for folks > on how to change (back) the response format. > The default format change, plus the addition of "indent=on" are back compat > changes, so we need to make sure we doc those clearly in the CHANGES.txt. > There will also need to be significant adjustments to the Solr Ref Guide, > Tutorial, etc. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
