It powers full-text, vector, analytics, and geospatial search at many of the world's largest organizations. Other major features include Kubernetes and docker integration, streaming, highlighting, faceting, and spellchecking. + +Solr 9.8.0 is available for immediate download at: + + <https://solr.apache.org/downloads.html> + +### Solr 9.8.0 Release Highlights: + + * The Solr Cross-DC Project has graduated from the sandbox repository into the Solr project as a supported capability. + * Requests can specify the 'memAllowed' parameter to halt requests that have exceeded this amount of memory (similar to timeAllowed but for memory). + * New knn_text_to_vector query parser that encodes query text into a vector (AKA "embedding") via external LLM services. + * New ParallelHttpShardHandlerFactory for reducing distributed-search latency in collections with many shards. This is not used by default. + * Cluster properties can now be listed or read individually using new v2 APIs ("GET /api/cluster/properties" and "GET /api/cluster/properties/propName") + * SolrJ CloudSolrClient now performs reasonably when configured with Solr URLs, which is increasingly going to be preferred over ZK URLs. Some big performance improvements occurred this release. + * Shard splits now support indexes with nested documents. + * "<lib/>" tags in solrconfig.xml are now quietly ignored by default unless explicitly enabled with the `SOLR_CONFIG_LIB_ENABLED=true` environment variable (or corresponding sysprop) + * multiThreaded=true no longer risks rejected exceptions under load. But you may need to increase the thread pool to more fully utilize a machine than previously. + +Please refer to the Upgrade Notes in the Solr Ref Guide for information on upgrading from previous Solr versions: + + <https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/main/solr/solr-ref-guide/modules/upgrade-notes/pages/major-changes-in-solr-9.adoc#solr-98> + +Please read CHANGES.txt for a full list of new features, changes and bug-fixes: + + <https://solr.apache.org/9_8_0/changes/Changes.html>
