Think about future upgrade path [JIRA: RIAK-1589]

rzezeski commented 11 years ago

After Riak 2.0 goes out the door Yokozuna will be locked to a specific Solr version. What will the upgrade path look like in the future when the Solr version is changed?

How do users typically upgrade single-node Solr clusters?
Are there any official documents or policies for Solr upgrades in the Apache documentation.
Will Solr distributed search work when spanning a group of shards consisting of two different Solr versions?
If solrconfig.xml changes are required how do we deal with that?
What about solr.xml?
What about the schema?
What about newer versions requiring upgrade to JVM?
Etc.

Any thoughts on this issue? There's a couple of interesting features in the newer releases of SOLR that be'd nice to track.

@boardom we've definitely discussed it and want to put some work into it, especially with SOLR 5's recent release. We're in the midst of getting some other fixes/updates out first however.

@boardom, just wanted to check-in, but for discussions going on, which features would you like to take advantage of specifically?

DateRangeField would be very useful (added in Solr 5.0). http://lucene.apache.org/solr/5_1_0/solr-core/org/apache/solr/schema/DateRangeField.html Use cases and workaround for 4.7: https://people.apache.org/~hossman/spatial-for-non-spatial-meetup-20130117/
