----------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate loading of solr.xml from ZK
Key: SOLR-15959
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15959
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Reporter: Jan Høydahl
In SOLR-9268, five years ago (committed by me) we allowed loading of solr.xml
from zookeeper.
Part of the motivation back then was to be able to put {{solr.xml}} in a
central place and not being forced to initialize {{SOLR_HOME}} with that file,
similar to the goal of SOLR-9575. And perhaps also an easy way to update
solr.xml.
However, I think it may have been a mistake that should be deprecated and
ultimately removed. Why? The {{solr.xml}} file is the "node config" for solr.
Where you set node-level props that need to be there at early node startup. So
even if you change the file in ZK, nodes will have not way of reloading those
plugins dynamically without a restart
The file may even contain local-node-specific settings that shuold differ from
node to node. Especially during rolling upgrade, it may be important to be able
to have a different {{solr.xml}} on the new nodes and on the old ones. With
property substitution you can do some of that, but you cannot add XML tags with
a sysprop.
