David Eric Pugh commented on SOLR-13412:
----------------------------------------
I've been following this conversation, and wanted to throw my 2cents in. Luke
is a *really* powerful tool, and I've used it a couple of times to troubleshoot
some hard to understand problems.
Having said that, it functions *very* differently then Solr, especially for
those of us using SolrCloud, and adding it to the Solr distribution feels like
it goes against the current trend of shrinking the size of the Solr
distribution.
I think that the real issue here is that most of our users don't know that Luke
exists, and that its a powerful tool. What if we kept Luke as a standalone
artifact, and instead talked about Luke in the Solr Ref Guide? We mention the
Luke request handler on
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_6/implicit-requesthandlers.html, that
could also link to a page with more details on Luke and where to download it
from? Which reminds me we should add the word Luke to the Ref Guide glossary
page!
I just poked around the lucene.apache.org site, and there is no mention of Luke
anywhere...

>
> Now that [~Tomoko Uchida] has put in a great effort to bring Luke into the
> project, I think it would be good to be able to access it from a Solr distro.
> I want to go to the right place under the Solr install directory and start
> Luke up to examine the local indexes.
> This ticket is explicitly _not_ about accessing it from the admin UI, Luke is
> a stand-alone app that must be invoked on the node that has a Lucene index on
> the local filesystem
> We need to
> * have it included in Solr when running "ant package".
> * add some bits to the ref guide on how to invoke
> ** Where to invoke it from
> ** mention anything that has to be installed.
> ** any other "gotchas" someone just installing Solr should be aware of.
> * Ant should not be necessary.
> * ????

> I'll assign this to myself to keep track of, but would not be offended in the
> least if someone with more knowledge of "ant package" and the like wanted to
> take it over ;)
> If we can do it at all....
