+1 for your suggestions Mike.
I'd like to see a few of the smaller issues get committed in 1.3
such as
SOLR-256 (JMX), SOLR-536 (binding for SolrJ), SOLR-430 (SpellChecker
support
in SolrJ) etc. Also, SOLR-561 (replication by Solr) would be really
cool to
have in the next release. Noble and I are working on it and plan to
give a
patch soon.
Whether something makes it in to this release will depend mostly on
getting the buy-in and time commitment from one of the committers
familiar with that aspect of the project. There is so much in 1.3 as
it is that I think our focus should be on getting it out sooner rather
than adding things. But small things that significantly improve the
release are good too.
SOLR-561 seems like a rather large project to me (although I have
never even used the existing collection distribution method).
Mike -- you removed SOLR-563 (Contrib area for Solr) from 1.3 but it
is a
dependency for SOLR-469 (DataImportHandler) as it was decided to have
DataImportHandler as a contrib project. It would also be good to
have a
rough release roadmaps to work against. Can fixed release cycle (say
every 6
months) work for Solr?
Twice-yearly releases would be nice to aim for, but I think we're too
small a project to fix release dates in advance.
