RE: the example folder It’s something I’ve been pushing towards moving away from for a long time - see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3619 Rename 'example' dir to 'server' and pull examples into an 'examples’ directory
Part of a push I’ve been on to own the Container level (people are now on board with that for 5.0), add start scripts, and other niceties that we should have but don’t yet. Even our config files should move away from being an “example” and end up more like a default starting template. Like a database, it should be simple to create a collection without needing to deal with config - you want to deal with the config when you need to, not face it all up front every time it is time to create a new collection. IMO, the name example is historical - most people already use it this way, the name just confuses matters. - Mark On Nov 13, 2013, at 12:30 PM, Shawn Heisey <s...@elyograg.org> wrote: > On 11/13/2013 5:29 AM, Dmitry Kan wrote: >> Reading that people have considered deploying "example" folder is slightly >> strange to me.
