Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-1449: --------------------------------------------- bq. sharedLib only helps if you want the same plugins in every core (not just to reuse the same plugins in multiple cores. There's also no way to reload a plugin from the sharedLib (whereas the normal lib for a core does get reloaded when the core is reloaded) OK, that's true. bq. As i already said: that wasn't a particular goal, just a nice side effect - but FWIW: the regex based loading was actually the easiest way i found to identify multiple jar I understand you want to make a core's lib directory configurable. That is fine. It is the regex based loading that makes me nervous. Why not load all jars in a specified directory? > solrconfig.xml syntax to add classpath elements from outside of instanceDir > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-1449 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1449 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Hoss Man > Fix For: 1.4 > > Attachments: SOLR-1449.patch > > > the idea has been discussed numerous times that it would be nice if there was > a way to configure a core to load plugins from specific jars (or "classes" > style directories) by path w/o needing to copy them to the "./lib" dir in > the instanceDir. > The current workaround is "symlinks" but that doesn't really help the > situation of the Solr Release artifacts, where we wind up making numerous > copies of jars to support multiple example directories (you can't have > reliable symlinks in zip files) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
