Re: dist download size
: Agreed, it was just when I had time set aside based on my schedule. If you : have the bandwidth now, go for it! My bad ... i had this weird impression that you ment they shouldn't be addressed until the release process. I used the bandwidth i had to work on SOLR-1449 -- i figure that can kill two birds: reduce the dist size by not needing to copy jars for the example, and make plugins easier to use. -Hoss
Re: dist download size
: The example contains the solr cell libs in both the DIH example and : the normal example. : At a minimum, the DIH example shouldn't include them. : I think it's still up in the air if the normal example should include them. i've just taken it as a given that having two copies of every third party jar for using in the example was a neccessary evil, but 3 copies (in two different examples) just pushed me over the edge and prevented me from sleeping, so i banged this out... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1449 ...if we get enough eyeballs on it, it might be feasibleto commit prior to 1.4 : --- javadoc : 55MB of Javadoc! That's a bit heavy... esp when I imagine almost no : one uses it. that's 55MB uncompressed ... but docs compress realy well so i doubt it contributes significantly to the download size (the maven jars of all the docs add up to less then 3MB, and zip/tar compression should be comparable) It's tempting to say most solr users aren't java hackers and leave it out ... but it's still the only comprehensive documentation on the various types of plugins (QParsers, analysis factories, etc...) so i vote we leave it in (one way or another) -Hoss
Re: dist download size
: Hoss listed a bunch of the issues (jars in dist that didn't need to be : there) : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1433 : : I figured I'd work through these when preparing the release. I don't really understand what that means ... why wait until the last minute to clean stuff up? the sooner we make improvements the more likely we are to notice inadvertant glitches (in the nightlies and eventual release candidates) -Hoss

Re: dist download size
As you suggested, I think the javadoc should be removed and provided as a separate download. Developers and end users can also be pointed to the online documentation for references and also where the downloadable javadoc can be found.
