Osma Suominen updated JENA-1301: -------------------------------- Summary: Drop Solr support from jena-text and jena-spatial (was: Drop Solr support from jena-text) > Drop Solr support from jena-text and jena-spatial > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JENA-1301 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1301 > Project: Apache Jena > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Text > Affects Versions: Jena 3.2.0 > Reporter: Osma Suominen > Assignee: Osma Suominen > > As discussed on the dev list, I propose dropping Solr support from jena-text. > Reasons: > # It is not evident how to run it from the documentation. > # There are no unit tests specific to Solr so whether it works cannot be > easily verified over time. > # It hasn't gained any of the features added to jena-text in recent years > (e.g. multilingual indexing, stored literal values, various special analyzers) > # The upgrade to Lucene 6 (JENA-1250) would probably break it further (since > Solr 4.9.1 that we use depends on Lucene 4.9.1), though due to reasons 1 and > 2 above I can't tell. > # Elasticsearch support for jena-text is being developed by Anuj Kumar, > offering the same kind of external text index functionality that the Solr > support used to offer. > # It's not fun to look at (and in effect have to maintain) code that you > don't know if anyone is using or whether it's even working at all. I haven't > heard from any users of jena-text/Solr in a long time. The [most recent > exchange|http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jena.user/3369] I could > find on the users list was in 2013, and it ended up unclear of whether the > user ever got it working. Okay there was [another > thread|http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jena.user/8892] in April/May > 2016 where Solr was apparently being used, but the discussion was about other > issues. > I volunteer to do the actual cleaning up if we get agreement on this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
