---------------------------------------------------------------

Snapshots are now built (all committers can have Jenkins control access).

I don't remember any mention by users of jena-spatial other than with Lucene so 
making that Lucene-only until someone steps up makes sense to me. Its not 
GeoSPARQL.

> 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.
