Tim Donohue reassigned DS-987:
------------------------------
Assignee: Tim Donohue
> By default, Solr Schemas & Configs don't upgrade properly & may cause
> instability
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DS-987
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-987
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Solr
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.7.2
> Environment: Any environment
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
> Assignee: 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.
