> The only option I see at the moment is to remove the clustering contrib entirely from 8x because it can't be upgraded. That makes sense to me. Maybe it shouldn't be a contrib henceforth? In other words, maybe it should be a 3rd-party package? Then our users could get updates to this contrib i

Yeah, right. Until 9x is not really satisfying - the problem is more complex because people bring up CVEs for the clustering contrib that is currently in 8x and, for better or worse, it affects this line for the foreseeable future. I don't plan to invest time to make Java 8 compatible backports of

SOLR-14974 is about a contrib, the clustering contrib in particular. That contrib is a plugin, and it will eventually be "packaged" -- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14688 which will ultimately mean that someone running on Solr 8 that is also using Java 11 can install that package when

I’m always reluctant to change something like this for a point release. I’ve been supposing that we’d release Solr 9 for a while, I always thought that moving to Java 11 would be a driver for the 9.0 release but I wasn’t correct in that. That expectation has been complicated by the whole referenc

2020-10-30 Thread Dawid Weiss
I've run into this in SOLR-14974. The dependency is on Java 11. Everything works if you build and run under Java 11 but of course it won't fly on Java 8 (won't even compile). I wonder what are your thoughts on keeping Java 8 as the minimum for Solr 8x. Is 8.x going to be on Java 8 forever? Or is m
