Hi, Thanks for presenting the solr-benchmark tool on the community meetup yesterday Kevin. I'll encourage others to take it for a spin. There are rough edges but you should be able to get some results.
We also discussed the potential for moving the tool from my github space to asf. That would make it easier for the community to contribute and collaborate. But it requires 2-3 PMC members interested in being maintainers. If we make it an asf repo, David noted that we are not required to publish official releases until we feel compelled to do so. Also, David noted the naming collision with the internal solr-benchmark module. How about "solr-orbit", which is a homage to "Rally" (orbiting the race track) but in our Solar-system universe :) As a next step I'll start a VOTE thread for accepting the two repos into ASF. The results of the VOTE will guide further action. Jan > 8. mars 2026 kl. 20:42 skrev Jan Høydahl <[email protected]>: > > Hi, > > I read through the benchmarking wiki page today.
