The output has less details and is not backward compatible. * Users should set useDocValuesAsStored="false" to preserve sort order on multi-valued fields that have both stored="true" and docValues="true". * Formatted date-times are more consistent with ISO-8601. BC dates are now better supported since they are now formatted with a leading '-'. AD years after have a leading '+'. Parse exceptions have been improved. * Deprecated SolrServer and subclasses have been removed, use SolrClient instead. * The deprecated configuration in solrconfig.xml has been removed. Users must remove it from solrconfig.xml. * SolrClient.shutdown() has been removed, use SolrClient.close() instead. * The deprecated zkCredientialsProvider element in solrcloud section of solr.xml is now removed. Use the correct spelling (zkCredentialsProvider) instead. * Added support for executing Parallel SQL queries across SolrCloud collections. Includes StreamExpression support and a new JDBC Driver for the SQL Interface. * New features and capabilities added to the streaming API. * Added support for SELECT DISTINCT queries to the SQL interface. * New GraphQuery to enable graph traversal as a query operator. * New support for Cross Data Center Replication consisting of active/passive replication for separate SolrClouds hosted in separate data centers. * Filter support added to Real-time get. * Column alias support added to the Parallel SQL Interface. * New command added to switch between non/secure mode in zookeeper. * Now possible to use IP fragments in replica placement rules.
