Javier D Fernandez commented on SOLR-4898: ------------------------------------------ I'm starting a new project and one of the first requirements was to manage the schema via the REST API. I would really love to see subtasks 4 and 5 working :) > Flesh out the Schema REST API > ----------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-4898 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4898 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Schema and Analysis > Affects Versions: 4.4 > Reporter: Steve Rowe > > As of Solr 4.4, the Solr Schema Rest API provides read access to all schema > elements (SOLR-4503, SOLR-4658, SOLR-4537, SOLR-4623), and the ability to > dynamically add new fields (SOLR-3251). See the wiki for documentation: > [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaRESTAPI]. > This is an umbrella issue to capture all future additions to the schema REST > API, including: > # adding dynamic fields > # adding field types > # adding copy field directives > # enabling wholesale replacement by PUTing a new schema. > # modifying fields, dynamic fields, field types, and copy field directives > # removing fields, dynamic fields, field types, and copy field directives > # modifying all remaining aspects of the schema: Name, Version, Unique Key, > Global Similarity, and Default Query Operator > I think the first three will be the easiest. > The main use case for further modifications to the Schema API is to offer a > new default schema lifecycle to replace the current schema lifecycle (in > which users manually edit a local copy of schema.xml, then overwrite the > authoritative schema.xml file -- on local disk or in ZooKeeper -- and then > reload or restart Solr), to allow for the schema API to perform all schema > edit operations. It's important to note that the current default schema > lifecycle will continue to be supported, even after it is no longer the > default: people will always be able to directly edit {{schema.xml}}, although > if they choose to do so, they won't be able to use the Schema API methods > that modify the schema. > Before Solr can switch the default schema configuration to > {{ManagedIndexSchema}}, which is a prerequisite for all Schema API methods > that modify the schema, everything that the current default schema lifecycle > supports must be supported by the Schema API. > The blocking issue for switching to the default schema configuration to > {{ManagedIndexSchema}}, minimally, is allowing wholesale schema replacement > via the Schema API -- this is essentially support for the current schema > lifecycle, with the additional requirement that users go through the Schema > API. The read side of the schema lifecycle, i.e. getting the current live > schema, is already implemented. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
