Cassandra Targett commented on SOLR-15914:
------------------------------------------
bq. As we make these add-ons more numerous and popular, having better messaging
around them is critical. If I'm a user, then "modules" makes a lot more sense
than "contrib".
Oh, yeah - it's very awkward to write in docs that something is a "contrib"
because that isn't actually a word in any other context. Modules is much more
clear, and differentiates it properly from "plugins" which is still a different
concept for the time-being because we haven't shifted the current contribs to
be proper plugins yet.
> bin/solr argument to add contribs to classpath

> Key: SOLR-15914
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15914
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Priority: Major
>
> The solr tarball (and docker container) ships with several contribs, but
> adding them to the classpath has earlier involved inserting
> {{<lib>../../../foo.jar</lib>}} entries into solrconfig. There is also the
> {{<sharedLib>}} config in solr.xml available as
> {{{}-Dsolr.sharedLib=/my/folder,/my/other/folder{}}}. Finally we also have
> package manager with own classloaders of course. We'll live with all of these
> for some time, so let's make each one more pleasant to use.
> Today, to add a contrib to path you would add both {{dist/foo*.jar}} and
> {{contrib/foo/lib/*.jar}} to classpath. Sometimes perhaps more.
> In this Jira I'd like to make it much easier for users to add a contrib to
> path by its name. Goal is for something like
> {code:java}
> SOLR_MODULES=langid,extraction bin/solr start -c {code}
> The bin/solr script would have a map of contrib to lib-folders, and add those
> as {{sharedLib}} entries, possibly appending to the user-supplied list of
> sharedLib?
