This is how I would list things: * Replica Types - Solr 7 supports different replica types, which handle updates differently. In addition to pure NRT operation where all replicas build an index and keep a replication log, you can now also add so called PULL replicas, achieving the read-speed optimized benefits of a master/slave setup while at the same time keeping index redundancy.* Auto-scaling. Solr can now allocate new replicas to nodes using a new auto scaling policy framework. This framework will in future releases enable Solr to move shards around based on load, disk etc.
* The JSON Facet API now supports two-phase facet refinement to ensure accurate counts and statistics for facet buckets returned in distributed mode. * Streaming Expressions adds a new statistical programming syntax for the statistical analysis of sql queries, random samples, time series and graph result sets. * Analytics Component2 Note * The new v2 API, exposed at /api/ and also supported via SolrJ, is now the preferred API, but /solr/ continues to work. * Indented JSON is now the default response format for all APIs, pass wt=json and/or indent=off to use the previous unindented XML format.
