Hello Dawid, I'm sorry about the absence. I had a two week trip to SF and that tends to steal my mind, thank god something does.
Yes, I have local changes that you should likely wait for. There is a substantial issue with how I was mapping our directory names to project names. That issue led to allowing some funny things and so addressing it makes the build a bit to a lot less silly. Sorry Tomoko Uchida :( Anyway, I had to pause Gradle when I remembered that Solr tests are only slow for silly or broken reasons. So I worked on that and then I remember that about a year and a half ago I had realized SolrCloud was seriously rotting in come very core and key areas. At the time I spent a lot of effort on my Starburst branch addressing some fundamental problems and patterns. I then had a 6 week sabbatical and 3 week movie making trip. Though my own lack of care, I lost all that work and mostly forgot about the whole thing. Coming back to that, after wasting a lot of effort trying to find my previous work, I set off to duplicate that work and hopefully take it a bit further. I really can't work on anything unless until that is on a clear path to being addressed unless someone attached to my livelihood forces me. Meanwhile, I'll be gone half of November on across the world vacation and December is always a mess. On the plus side, the gradle build has gotten some great testing, but I'm little fuzzy on when I'm ready. I will certainly be separating out these efforts. So I'll be extracting the gradle changes to the gradle branch and keeping my new state as a separate branch. - Mark
