---------------------------------------
Summary: Create unified CLI tool to wrap all Lucene maintenance
tools and demos for .NET
Key: LUCENENET-588
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-588
Project: Lucene.Net
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Lucene.Net Core, Lucene.Net.Analysis.ICU,
Lucene.Net.Analysis.Kuromoji, Lucene.Net.Analysis.Stempel,
Lucene.Net.Benchmark, Lucene.Net.Facet, Lucene.Net.Misc
Affects Versions: Lucene.Net 4.8.0
Reporter: Shad Storhaug
Assignee: Shad Storhaug
Priority: Minor
Fix For: Lucene.Net 4.8.0
Since it is not possible to run a .NET Standard DLL as a console application,
we need to wrap Lucene's CLI utilities with a .NET Console application in order
to make them readily usable. Many of these tools are important to have on hand,
especially the index maintenance tools to upgrade, inspect, fix, split, merge,
copy or delete segments, etc of indexes.
There are many tools and they have inconsistent usage in Java. So, it makes
more sense for us to have a single unified CLI utility (like Microsoft's
dotnet.exe tool) rather than make a wrapper console application for each one.
This also affords us the opportunity to make the various parameters work
consistently across tools.
This project is already nearing completion - this task is just being created to
tie all of the CLI-related issues together so efforts are not duplicated on
those individual tasks.
