What are people’s thoughts about Solr 9.0? It’d be a little faster than our recent cadence, the last two major releases were about 18 months after the one before and we released Solr 8.0 last March.
Besides the usual reasons, there are two drivers I can think of: 1> We can drop Java 8 compatibility. 2> We can migrate to exclusively use Gradle as the build system. The Gradle build isn’t complete yet, although it’s maturing pretty quickly (and Dawid has yeoman’s duty!). My question isn’t so much “should we start the release process for Solr 9.0 next week” as it is “What milestones should we reach before starting the 9.0 release process?” Maybe something as simple as “Start the 9.0 process a month after removing the ant components of the build system”. And a reasonable answer at this point is “it’s way too early to even talk about it”.
