Hoss Man commented on SOLR-79: ------------------------------ my view is: * in most cases, a system property not being defined is going to prevent the value from being usable (ie: a blank dataDIr) * if you want to use a systemp prop in a place where it's acceptible to not have the prop defined at all, then just use ${prop:} to denote that an empty string should be used as the default. > [PATCH] Using system properties in Solr configuration > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-79 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-79 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Alexander Saar > Assigned To: Erik Hatcher > Priority: Minor > Attachments: solr-config-system-property.patch, > solr-config-system-property.patch, solr-config-system-property.patch, > solr-config-system-property.patch, solr-config-system-property.patch, > solr-config-system-property.patch > > > Actually it is not possible to use system properties for configuring the Solr > engine. There should be a way of referencing system properties from > solrconfig.xml, like {$prop.name}. > The attached patch will provide this feature. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
