Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3619:
-----------------------------------
bq. Exactly - a custom config, sometimes the whole "conf" folder including
synonyms etc
No - a custom schema file - they generally take solrconfig.xml out of the box
along with the other config files. And with the right schema and features to
start they would not have to even replace this one file.
bq. Even the most simple of these systems saw a need to tweak, adding custom
fieldTypes, perhaps a default requesthandler etc.
Thats not true - like I said - dynamic fields out of the box can build many
apps! Especially when you are doing things from something like ruby where you
have easy control of the field names! The out of the box request handlers are
fine as well. You can go a long way - if you need to tweak later, you tweak.
That's a far cry from everything you start with is an example.
Others with pre typed json don't want to have to redefine types...all that
should work out of the box. I've got json, I've got strings, I've got ints, I
want to plug them into a db and have simple search. That should be effortless.
If I want to improve edge cases later, than I expand effort.
A custom tweak or two is how all real systems work anyway - you get something
good out of the box and then you tweak the settings. You don't tell users, oh
actually, you have to replace ALL of the settings and config. It's just an
absurd stance - only engineers would design a system like this.
Now that we are also becoming a viable NoSQL option, I think the whole example
thing is just stupid and a long term huge negative for Solr. It's also a lie,
because almost every user install I've seen does not work this way. But so be
it.
My checkout is already out of date, and I'm out of energy trying to argue my
way into making Solr a reasonable OOTB experience.
