New 1.6 Statistics settings in dspace.cfg need Documentation
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DS-405
                 URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-405
             Project: DSpace 1.x
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Tim Donohue


The settings for the new 1.6 Statistics feature need better documentation 
overall.  

(1) In the installation/upgrade instructions, we should be telling folks that 
they need to have the "solr" web application installed for Statistics to work.  
This doesn't seem to be stated anywhere.

(2) There's confusion over which fields in dspace.cfg correspond to the new 
Statistics feature.  Obviously, the following fields seem to correspond to the 
new 1.6 Stats.  Unfortunately, they are NOT documented anywhere.
solr.log.server = ${dspace.baseUrl}/solr/statistics
solr.spidersfile = ${dspace.dir}/config/spiders.txt
solr.dbfile = ${dspace.dir}/config/GeoLiteCity.dat
useProxies = true

statistics.items.dc.1=dc.identifier
statistics.items.dc.2=dc.date.accessioned
statistics.items.type.1=dcinput
statistics.items.type.2=date
statistics.default.start.datepick = 01/01/1977

statistics.item.authorization.admin=true

(3) Are the following Dspace.cfg fields still used by the new 1.6 Statistics?   
If not, we need to either document this well or remove them altogether:

###### Statistical Report Configuration Settings ######

# should the stats be publicly available?  should be set to false if you only
# want administrators to access the stats, or you do not intend to generate
# any
report.public = false

# directory where live reports are stored
report.dir = ${dspace.dir}/reports/

(4) How does one choose to make the new 1.6 Statistics publicly available (they 
seem to default to being restricted)?  Claudia and I (Tim) are trying to figure 
this out for the testathon, and it seems undocumented -- so we're having to try 
and dig around through code.
