Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-2586:
-------------------------------------
To come back to the orginal issue:
What is your reason to say: The example folder cannot be used to create a
production installation?
I would always recommend my customers to use the shipped Jetty, because its
much more performant than Tomcat with Solr and also is configured right and has
less bugs, that are *very* important to text processing (whats the main task of
Solr).
Also it should be noted, that Solr should always run in it's own Jetty/Tomcat
installation for GC and other Java-Specific reasons, so installation of Solr
together with other webapps in a system-wide default Ubuntu/Whatever-shipped
Tomcat is a bad idea.
We generally run Solr in a separate user account, adding a @reboot cron job
that starts the jetty shipped with the distrib.
> example work & logs directories needed?

> Key: SOLR-2586
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2586
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Priority: Minor
>
> Firstly, what prompted this issue was me wanting to use a git solr mirror but
> finding that git's lack of empty-directory support made the "example" ant
> task fail. This task requires examples/work to be in place so that it can
> delete its contents. Fixing this was a simple matter of adding:
> {code:xml}
> <mkdir dir="${example}/work" /><!-- in case not there -->
> {code}
> Right before the delete task.
> But then it occurred to me, why even have a "work" directory since Jetty will
> apparently use a temp directory instead. -- try for yourself (stdout snippet):
> bq. 2011-06-11 00:51:26.177:INFO::Extract
> file:/SmileyDev/Search/lucene-solr/solr/example/webapps/solr.war to
> /var/folders/zo/zoQJvqc9E0076p0THiri+k+++TI/-Tmp-/Jetty_0_0_0_0_8983_solr.war__solr__k1kf17/webapp
> On my Mac, this same directory was used for multiple runs, so somehow Jetty
> or the VM figures out how to reuse it.
> Since this "example" setup isn't a *real* installation -- it's just for
> demonstration, arguably it should not contain what it doesn't need.
> Likewise, perhaps the empty example/logs directory should be deleted. It's
> not used by default any way.
