I just re-read my copy of Marie Kondo's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up[1] and it brought to mind the state of our Hadoop integrations with Solr. I'd like to gauge the community's thoughts on how we move forward with Hadoop in Solr 10. My perspective is that Hadoop is no longer a key part of Solr's future, and that is reflected in it's lack of maintenance and tech debt that it appears to carrying. We seem to have a lot of points of discussion where we want to do something and "but Hadoop doesn't support it" or "the tests for Hadoop fail".
I believe everything we would be removing is in:* Hadoop Auth Module* HDFS Module If it's useful to the community I can make a longer argument about why we need to thank Hadoop for it's service and say good bye. Otherwise, I think these are our paths forward: 1) Just straight up remove both modules in Solr 10 like we did with analytics. 2) Move both modules to the solr-sandbox repository. Can we just leave them there on Solr 9 and see if they get some new life?3) Actively recruit someone to be a committer focused on the Hadoop code to bring them up to date and allow them to stay? I would want to time box this effort. 4) If someone volunteers to maintain them, move those modules to independent GitHub repos like we did with DIH. Thoughts? Other suggestions?
