Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on SOLR-5103: --------------------------------------------- It may be worth considering that plugin may contain more than code. For example, it may contain AdminUI screens, similar to those *admin-extra* files. Elasticsearch has something like this. There might also be some sort of dependency in there to avoid *jar rabbits* (multiple copies of the same shaded jars). Elasticsarch does NOT seem to have something like this. On the positive side, a website to track the plugins and dependencies would make for a very nice Solr demo project and would help the community actually start contributing things as plugins, once the visibility part is solved :-) > Plugin Improvements > ------------------- > > Key: SOLR-5103 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5103 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Grant Ingersoll > Assignee: Grant Ingersoll > Fix For: Trunk > > > I think for 5.0, we should make it easier to add plugins by defining a plugin > package, ala a Hadoop Job jar, which is a self--contained archive of a plugin > that can be easily installed (even from the UI!) and configured > programmatically. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
