I am aware of the problems with the implementation of DIH, but is there any problem with the XML driven data import capability? Could it be rewritten (using modern XPath) to run as a part of SolrJ?
I've been interested in that, but I just haven't been able to shake loose the time. -----Original Message----- From: Upayavira [mailto:u...@odoko.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2015 5:04 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Is DIH going to be removed from Solr future versions? I doubt DIH will be "removed". It more likely will be relegated - still there, but emphasised less. Another possibility that has been mooted is to extract it, so that it can run outside of Solr. This strikes me as the best option. Having it run inside Solr strikes me as architecturally wrong, and also problematic in a SolrCloud world. Taking the DIH codebase and running it *outside* Solr you get the best of DIH without the same set of issues.
