-----------------------------------
Summary: Solr should not auto-create the "userfiles" dir
Key: SOLR-15222
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15222
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Reporter: David Smiley
The "userfiles" feature is relatively obscure and might be subsumed by the
"file store". I don't think an obscure feature should be auto-creating its
"userfiles" directory. Even a popular one; not sure it makes sense. If a user
wants to use this feature, they are welcome to create the directory. Solr has
other optional directories, like solr-home/lib that are not auto-created; it's
not clear to me why this one is. I've found the auto-creation of this dir to
be annoying in two ways. One is in Solr's tests – there are existing Jira
issues that show stack traces about this even though it's ignored. Secondly is
as a down-stream consumer for running/building Solr plugins that have a Solr
home dir pointing somewhere that suddenly has this userfiles dir popping up
despite me having no plans to use it.
