Hi,

 

I think Solr should ship with default CORS Filter enabled (it’s part of Jetty). 
E.g. Elasticsearch also ships with a suitable CORS configuration by default. 
You can just change some details (e.g. restrict hostnames, default is “*”) or 
dis/enable it completely. We can also be much more selective which endpoints 
allow CORS at all, this limits security risks.

Would being able to manage CORS settings be part of this?  

 

Now that Solr is ramping up it’s default security posture, there are many 
applications that used to work that don’t.  Today, changing Solr’s CORS 
settings is very cumbersome, requiring changing an embedded web.xml.

 

Making it easier to set your CORS type settings would be great.

I agree. I changed the SIP page and now have four bullet points defined as in 
scope for the SIP:

 

The most important change in this SIP will be

*        Create a solr/bootstrap module with a solr.jar  to replace start.jar  
as the entrypoint (java -jar solr.jar ...)

*        Hide jetty even more, i.e. rename jetty.port  → port , and perhaps 
clean up other Sysprops as well

*        Get rid of web.xml and instead build our contexts and paths from Java 
code, driven by Solr config

*        Be able to lock Solr's memory to prevent swapping (SOLR-14335)

 

Not sure how big of a job the web.xml thing is, but there is definitely a 
potential of unifying test and production code in this area and thus get much 
better test coverage of some of this.

 

However, removing web.xml is perhaps such a big change that we’ll have to 
target 9.0 while my initial goal of just creating a bootstrapper to lock memory 
could have been merged to 8.x as well?? Or do we consider web.xml an 
implementation detail for which we don’t need to provide backward compatibility?

 

I’m a bit back and forth with myself on this. Perhaps if we reduce scope to 
just the bootstrap module, mem locking and some sysprop renames, it can be done 
quickly and end up in 8.6 already, then increment from there?

I'm in favor of this approach mainly because of the line mentioned in the Test 
Plan:

> If we move servlet initialization into Java code and get rid of web.xml, we

I feel that this should be a top level goal, along with taking another look at 
EmbeddedSolrServer (perhaps it moves out of SolrJ?). Right now, I feel like we 
effectively have no testing of the configurations that go into the various xml 
files - can't speak for others, but it made me reluctant to make changes to 
them.

Of course it's a single jvm. It's only a replacement for start.jar. the mock-up 
is already there.

Do you see this running in a single JVM, i.e. you run solr.jar and it
then starts an embedded Jetty server? Or would solr.jar exec a new Java
process and take it from there?

If it's all in one JVM, then the startup scripts probably won't be all
that different. Memory settings, OOM killers etc will still have to be
set up before using startup shellscripts and whatnot. If it's just a
small bootstrap jar which execs another JVM, a lot of the complicated
shell foo could probably be simplified.
