David Smiley commented on SOLR-2588: ------------------------------------ I'm surprised velocity became a core dependency, but nonetheless I think it should be possible to use Solr in an embedded fashion without pulling in extraneous dependencies like velocity and others. What if these response writers were initialized on-demand? This would increase startup time & decrease memory usage just a little since most people aren't actually going to use all response writers that Solr supports. I'm willing to put together a patch. > Make Velocity an optional dependency in SolrCore > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SOLR-2588 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2588 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Wish > Affects Versions: 3.2 > Reporter: Gunnar Wagenknecht > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.4, 4.0 > > > In 1.4. it was fine to run Solr without Velocity on the classpath.
