Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-14066:
------------------------------------
David is right and I have changed my mind on the order of events here.
While DIH is not a perfect solution in any way, and we cannot keep it long term
without proper love and care, it is a very much used module and we owe our
community a more thought-through approach than hastily deprecating it out of
the blue. Here's a less controversial plan:
# In 8.4 we already take a few steps such as limit the exposure to DIH for
default configset users.
# Can we do more in terms of documentation to warn against the risks of DIH's
scripting capabilities?
# We send a "Future of DIH" mail to the lists with the goal of communicating
our long-term intent and solicit if anyone can help fix it or simplytake over
# We turn DIH as a plugin package, thus making it not part of main download
but an explicit opt-in in install (from Apache repos)
# We hand over development to whoever wants to take over
# We communicate to community the new package repo to use for DIH
I'm hoping that step 3 will result in someone stepping up. If not we can always
revisit the maintenance question further down the road.
