Hi Andrzej, We're rather weighing on a lot of other stuff to upgrade our Solr for a very long time like better authentication handling, backups using CDCR, new Replication mode and this probably has just given us another reason to upgrade. Thank you so much for the suggestion, I think its good to know about something like this exists. We'll find out more about this.
Great day ahead!
