Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-4910:
--------------------------------------
>From the user's list (Mark Miller) since the JIRA was down for maintenance.
*****
I think in the past, it simply tried to write out what it read in. That should
be the end goal, and AFAIK things pretty much worked like that in the late 3's
or early 4's.
I'm pretty sure for ${} sys prop notation, 4.3 broke the <cores section, but
now it sounds like the <core part is broken. Just from memory though - I know
something wasn't working in 4.3 along those lines. So the real issue seems to
be the current testing...
We have a some pretty simple tests for this (eg, they are easy to add too), so
it sounds like we just need to beef them up - the changes necessary are easy
from there.

> solr.xml persistence is completely broken

>
> Key: SOLR-4910
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4910
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 5.0, 4.4
> Reporter: Erick Erickson
> Assignee: Erick Erickson
> Priority: Blocker
>
> I'm working on SOLR-4862 (persisting a created core doesn't preserve some
> values) and at least compared to 4.3 code, persisting to solr.xml is
> completely broken.
> I learned to hate persistence while working on SOLR-4196 & etc. and I'm glad
> it's going away. I frequently got lost in implicit properties (they're easy
> to persist and shouldn't be), what should/shouldn't be persisted (e.g. the
> translated ${var:default} or the original), and it was a monster, so don't
> think I'm nostalgic for the historical behavior.
> Before I dive back in I want to get some idea whether or not the current
> behavior was intentional or not, I don't want to go back into that junk only
> to undo someone else's work.
> Creating a new core (collection2 in my example) with persistence turned on in
> solr.xml for instance changes the original definition for collection1 (stock
> 4.x as of tonight) from this:
> <core name="collection1" instanceDir="collection1" shard="${shard:}"
> collection="${collection:collection1}" config="${solrconfig:solrconfig.xml}"
> schema="${schema:schema.xml}"
> coreNodeName="${coreNodeName:}"/>
> to this:
> <core loadOnStartup="true" shard="${shard:}" instanceDir="collection1/"
> transient="false" name="collection1" dataDir="data/"
> collection="${collection:collection1}">
> <property name="name" value="collection1"/>
> <property name="config" value="solrconfig.xml"/>
> <property name="solr.core.instanceDir" value="solr/collection1/"/>
> <property name="transient" value="false"/>
> <property name="schema" value="schema.xml"/>
> <property name="loadOnStartup" value="true"/>
> <property name="solr.core.schemaName" value="schema.xml"/>
> <property name="solr.core.name" value="collection1"/>
> <property name="solr.core.dataDir" value="data/"/>
> <property name="instanceDir" value="collection1/"/>
> <property name="solr.core.configName" value="solrconfig.xml"/>
> </core>
> So, there are two questions:
> 1> what is correct for 4.x?
> 2> do we care at all about 5.x?
> As much as I hate to say it, I think that we need to go back to the 4.3
> behavior. It might be as simple as not persisting in the <property> tags
> anything already in the original definition. Not quite sure what to put where
> in the newly-created core though, I suspect that the compact <core + attribs>
> would be best (assuming there's no <property> tag already in the definition.
> I really hate the mix of attributes on the <core> tag and <property> tags,
> wish we had one or the other....
