Hrishikesh Gadre commented on SOLR-9055:
----------------------------------------
bq. Yes I think it is possible to use Lucene Directory implementation without
requiring a different "Repository" interface. Currently we don't have Directory
implementation available for S3 though. Should we do that?
OK. I will update the patch to use Directory interface (and remove Repository
interface). But still I would like to understand how should we proceed with
integration with different file-systems? It occurs to me that the
"DirectoryFactory" configuration in solrconfig.xml can be exposed at a higher
level so that it would be useful for both both index management and
backup/restore. e.g. consider how HDFS configuration is done today,
https://github.com/cloudera/lucene-solr/blob/25d722e35238cca776abbe3a621e0c5b733e762d/cloudera/solrconfig.xml#L119
If this is exposed via a separate "Repository" API, then solrconfig.xml can
also refer to it via user-configurable "name". (Please note that some care
needs to be taken to allow "block-cache" to be configured selectively as
backup/restore solution does not need it). This way users can register multiple
repositories (e.g. local file-system, HDFS etc.) and choose one of index
management and other for backup/restore without duplicate configuration (e.g.
one in solrconfig.xml and other as part of "Repository" API).
It seems like a major change though it is a "correct" solution. So any feedback
on this would be great.

> SOLR-5750 implemented backup/restore API for Solr. This JIRA is to track the
> code cleanup/refactoring. Specifically following improvements should be made,
> - Add Solr/Lucene version to check the compatibility between the backup
> version and the version of Solr on which it is being restored.
> - Add a backup implementation version to check the compatibility between the
> "restore" implementation and backup format.
> - Introduce a Strategy interface to define how the Solr index data is backed
> up (e.g. using file copy approach).
> - Introduce a Repository interface to define the file-system used to store
> the backup data. (currently works only with local file system but can be
> extended). This should be enhanced to introduce support for "registering"
> repositories (e.g. HDFS, S3 etc.)
