Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3619:
------------------------------------
bq. I think calling it an example is a real turn off.
+1 - we've been getting dinged vs the competition on the perception that it
takes a lot to get solr up and running.
If your first instruction is to go edit some XML file... you've already lost
some people.
bq. The others solrhomes are truly examples and have always been second class
citizens as far as additions and scope.
+1 - multiple solr homes under the server directory is confusing
bq. I'm really pro having the default solr home under server though
Me too - In general I think server should be as stand-alone as possible (i.e.
you should be able to copy it to somewhere else and still have it work) and
have all relevant config. The "contrib" is a bit of a sore spot there of
course...
We should probably have a "bin" directory under server as I imagine scripts may
proliferate beyond start/stop, and we don't want too much clutter in the server
root.
I could get behind Jan's idea of separating all the binary stuff from the solr
home... but from a practical perspective I don't know how much work it would
take to implement that. Anything writable like logs would need to be changed
to go under the solr home. Instead of a solr.home file, I think the CWD could
be checked for a solr.xml file, and optionally if that didn't exist, use the
stock one in ../solrhome or something. It would also be nice to create a new
solr home via a command (i.e. cd to an empty directory and start solr with a
--new flag that puts everything in place for a new server). But this all
sounds like a good bit of work...
bq. Today's "collection1" is not very well tuned for PDF/HTML kind of docs
I haven't tried it in a while... can we improve it w/o getting in the way of
people who don't use solr-cell?
