Osma Suominen commented on JENA-1301:
-------------------------------------
The commit has now been merged to master. I will wait for snapshot builds and
then announce on the users list, as suggested by [~andy.seaborne].
Do we need other documentation? At least the [jena-text
documentation|https://jena.apache.org/documentation/query/text-query.html]
needs to be purged of Solr references... However, if the Elasticsearch
implementation of jena-text (JENA-1305) gets done within the same release
cycle, it would be helpful to replace Solr with ES in the documentation, as
they both address a similar use case (external text index for enterprise
applications etc)
The same goes for [jena-spatial
documentation|https://jena.apache.org/documentation/query/spatial-query.html],
although the ES implementation is currently only targeting jena-text and not
jena-spatial.
> 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
> and jena-spatial. 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.
