Jason Gerlowski commented on SOLR-15090:
----------------------------------------
I've published my first pass of this to the post-split repo
[here|https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/39]. Still TODO:
* refactoring of test code to mock out 'Storage' client object
* additional unit tests to better cover individual operations?
* ref-guide docs on usage and configuration parameters?
Reviewers will notice that the PR has the new BackupRepository packaged as a
"contrib" in the main Solr repo. There's good discussion on the pros/cons of
this
[here|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15089?focusedCommentId=17287128&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-17287128],
where it came up on another BackupRepository impl I suggested. If anyone has
thoughts on contrib vs plugin, it prob makes sense to continue that discussion
there (or on SOLR-14688) rather than fracturing it further here. I'll obey the
outcome here either way - just looking to avoid yet another restart of the
conversation when it exists elsewhere.

> Solr's BackupRepository interface provides an abstraction around the physical
> location/format that backups are stored in. This allows plugin writers to
> create "repositories" for a variety of storage mediums. It'd be nice if Solr
> offered more mediums out of the box though, such as some of the "blobstore"
> offerings provided by various cloud providers.
> This ticket proposes that a "BackupRepository" implementation for Google's
> popular 'Cloud Storage' blobstore, so that Solr users can use it for backups
> without needing to write their own code.
> Google offers a GCS Java client with acceptable licensing, and the
> integration code is relatively simple. The biggest challenge in supporting
> this will likely be procedural - integration testing requires GCS access and
> GCS access costs money. We can check with INFRA to see if there is any way
> to get cloud credits for an integration test to run in nightly Jenkins runs
> on the ASF Jenkins server. Alternatively we can try to stub out the
> blobstore in some reliable way.
