Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-8110: ----------------------------------- bq. A dedicated config option might be better than luceneMatchVersion, but I'm OK either way. Both. We introduce a {{-Dsolr.enforceStrictIdentifiers}} and let luceneMatchVersion decide the default value if not explicitly set. > Start enforcing field naming recomendations in next X.0 release? > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-8110 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8110 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Hoss Man > > For a very long time now, Solr has made the following "recommendation" > regarding field naming conventions... > bq. field names should consist of alphanumeric or underscore characters only > and not start with a digit. This is not currently strictly enforced, but > other field names will not have first class support from all components and > back compatibility is not guaranteed. ... > I'm opening this issue to track discussion about if/how we should start > enforcing this as a rule instead (instead of just a "recommendation") in our > next/future X.0 (ie: major) release. > The goals of doing so being: > * simplify some existing code/apis that currently use hueristics to deal with > lists of field and produce strange errors when the huerstic fails (example: > ReturnFields.add) > * reduce confusion/pain for new users who might start out unaware of the > recommended conventions and then only later encountering a situation where > their field names are not supported by some feature and get frustrated > because they have to change their schema, reindex, update index/query client > expectations, etc... -- 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
