Trey Grainger edited comment on SOLR-10494 at 6/27/17 5:23 AM: --------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I think I'm nearly done. This patch ([^SOLR-10494.patch]) includes removing all the extraneous "wt=json" and "indent=on" references, adding a commented out version of "wt=xml" to the example solrconfig.xml's, unit test updates, some additional updates to the tutorials and docs (also incorporating [~ctargett]'s), and updating the admin UI (query section) to handle the new defaults. The only issue I'm running into is that for some reason I haven't figured out yet, turning "indent" on has broken some of the parent/child relationship tests (i.e. TestHierarchicalDocBuilder.testThreeLevelHierarchy, SolrExampleTests.testChildDocTransformer. It initially appears to be some xml parsing issue issue with the extra whitespace, which would be odd, but I haven't dug in yet. Once I figure those out, I'll update the patch, and then I think this will be ready for review. was (Author: solrtrey): Ok, I think I'm nearly done.

Issues are Public) > Affects Versions: master (7.0) > Reporter: Trey Grainger > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: master (7.0) > > Attachments: SOLR-10494, SOLR-10494, SOLR-10494.patch, > SOLR-10494-withdocs.patch, SOLR-10494-withdocs.patch > > > 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 (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
