David Smiley commented on SOLR-2724: ------------------------------------ Erick, First of all, anyone upgrading should examine CHANGES.txt which would certainly have a note on this explicitly in the upgrading section of that document. Secondly, most point-release upgrades people do are ones in which the config stays the same. Thirdly, the scenario you present in which someone copies a subset of their 3.5 schema would only error if that person ALSO chose to omit the defaultSearchField declaration -- but why would they do that? Besides, I don't think there should be any expectation of "it'll just work" if you copy some arbitrary subset of an old schema into a new example config. I didn't know we needed to retain backwards config capability across 3.x to 4.x :-( That sucks and it'll make old code stick around longer. If that's true, it'd be nice if we had a standard way to annotate such code so we can methodically remove the old stuff. "@deprecated" isn't enough because it's just at the method/class level, not an internal if branch. > Deprecate defaultSearchField and defaultOperator defined in schema.xml > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-2724 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2724 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Schema and Analysis, search > Reporter: David Smiley > Assignee: David Smiley > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.6, 4.0 > > Original Estimate: 2h > Remaining Estimate: 2h > > I've always been surprised to see the <defaultSearchField> element and > <solrQueryParser defaultOperator="OR"/> defined in the schema.xml file since > the first time I saw them.
