Dear all, Based on the discussion in SOLR-14726, Slack, and in many other JIRA issues, I am proposing to spearhead the Big Cleanup focused on improving getting started experience, targeting Solr 9 only. This is mostly about examples, but it also touches quite heavily on default configuration files and - less heavily - on the directory layout issues.
As this is bigger than any of my previous contributions to the project and is quite cross-cutting, I've made a Solr Improvement Proposal. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/SIP-10+Improve+Getting+Started+experience Regards, Alex. Ps. As a side note, in many of the discussions, people say "I would prefer if we did X", but with the reality of "X" not being complete, actually fully tested or even applicable to the standalone/cloud/whatever aspect of the discussion. Those preferences are still welcome, but I am begging for explicit qualification of their current availability for the critical path. This proposal is an attempt to minimize dependence on actual new code features. Pps. I am also very aware that the proposal implies lots of semi-related changes and I will end up potentially stepping on people's feet. And I don't yet know the proper flow of work to do this (individual Jiras, combined Jiras, separate branch(s), etc). I would really need advice or a mentor or even a group of mentors to make this happen in a community-minded fashion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
