I'm just getting into Solr, so take my opinion as the opinion of an uninformed noob. A recent post on the list had this text:

The "create" vs. "load" example is one place, another more glaring one is the use of the query parameter "rows" instead of "docs" or "documents". Solr does not have the concept of a row, that is an obvious vestige of SQL thinking. I would happily make a wiki page documenting these and other cases. Solr 4 is released, so one should not go breaking code, but the move Solr 5 sometime in the future would be an opportunity to rectify these issues. In fact, it might make sense to have either syntax valid in Solr 4.1 so that code will have the time to migrate. Should I start documenting these? -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
