>             Project: DSpace
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Solr
>    Affects Versions: 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.7.2
>         Environment: Any environment
>            Reporter: Tim Donohue
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: 1.8.0

> By default, if users run simply 'ant update' to upgrade a DSpace instance, 
> the Solr Configurations & Schemas will NOT upgrade properly.  (Note: However, 
> if you run 'ant -Doverwrite=true update', then Solr will upgrade properly)
> The reason, is that DSpace's Solr directory updates it configurations similar 
> to the [dspace]/config/ directory.
> So, if you simply run 'ant update', all your existing, older Solr Schemas & 
> Configurations will remain in place unchanged (and new configs/schemas will 
> be suffixed with ".new", e.g. schema.xml.new).  This could cause instability 
> in DSpace if users are accidentally using an old Solr schemas/configurations 
> with a new DSpace API.
> I think we need to always overwrite existing Solr Schemas & Configurations.  
> If we want to keep around a copy of older Solr Schemas, they should be 
> suffixed with "-[date].old" (like when running 'ant -Doverwrite=true 
> update').   As users are less likely to customize Solr Schemas/Configs 
> (without knowing what they are doing), I think it's better to default to 
> overwriting these files during an upgrade.  
> As it stands, most users will not even realize there are Solr configurations 
> under [dspace]/solr/search/conf/ and [dspace]/solr/statistics/conf/ which may 
> not have upgraded properly.
