Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-4910:
--------------------------------------
bq: Nice! That will be useful.
It's rather specialized to solr.xml, but perhaps it can be generalized. The
idea is that it creates XPATH expressions so equality is expressed as
are all xpath expressions created from xml A in xml B and vice-versa
> solr.xml persistence is completely broken

> I'm working on SOLR-4862 (persisting a created core doesn't preserve some
> values) and at least compared to 4.3 code, persisting to solr.xml is
> completely broken.
> I learned to hate persistence while working on SOLR-4196 & etc. and I'm glad
> it's going away. I frequently got lost in implicit properties (they're easy
> to persist and shouldn't be), what should/shouldn't be persisted (e.g. the
> translated ${var:default} or the original), and it was a monster, so don't
> think I'm nostalgic for the historical behavior.
> Before I dive back in I want to get some idea whether or not the current
> behavior was intentional or not, I don't want to go back into that junk only
> to undo someone else's work.
> Creating a new core (collection2 in my example) with persistence turned on in
> solr.xml for instance changes the original definition for collection1 (stock
> 4.x as of tonight) from this:
> <core name="collection1" instanceDir="collection1" shard="${shard:}"
> collection="${collection:collection1}" config="${solrconfig:solrconfig.xml}"
> schema="${schema:schema.xml}"
> coreNodeName="${coreNodeName:}"/>
> to this:
> <core loadOnStartup="true" shard="${shard:}" instanceDir="collection1/"
> transient="false" name="collection1" dataDir="data/"
> collection="${collection:collection1}">
> <property name="name" value="collection1"/>
> <property name="config" value="solrconfig.xml"/>
> <property name="solr.core.instanceDir" value="solr/collection1/"/>
> <property name="transient" value="false"/>
> <property name="schema" value="schema.xml"/>
> <property name="loadOnStartup" value="true"/>
> <property name="solr.core.schemaName" value="schema.xml"/>
> <property name="solr.core.name" value="collection1"/>
> <property name="solr.core.dataDir" value="data/"/>
> <property name="instanceDir" value="collection1/"/>
> <property name="solr.core.configName" value="solrconfig.xml"/>
> </core>
> So, there are two questions:
> 1> what is correct for 4.x?
> 2> do we care at all about 5.x?
> As much as I hate to say it, I think that we need to go back to the 4.3
> behavior. It might be as simple as not persisting in the <property> tags
> anything already in the original definition. Not quite sure what to put where
> in the newly-created core though, I suspect that the compact <core + attribs>
> would be best (assuming there's no <property> tag already in the definition.
> I really hate the mix of attributes on the <core> tag and <property> tags,
> wish we had one or the other....
