Me neither, even though I'm a proponent of Solr aiming in that
direction. In fact, I think Spring has the potential to make it much
more convoluted/complicated to configure Solr (depending on how it's
done).
Spring-centric thinking benefits Solr by aiding in the design of
things like IndexSchema and SolrConfig - such that they would not have
a dependency/requirement that XML be involved at all.
Springifying Solr doesn't mean littering Solr with Spring dependencies
- it really should be vastly cleaner than that, such that Spring is
NOT required to configure Solr at all (and this is the design benefit
I see possible).
I'd really love to see Solr get _out_ of dealing with configuration so
directly instead spending our time on ugly tangential stuff.
