================== 9.2.0 ==================

New Features
---------------------

* SOLR-16435: Add Request timeout to Http2SolrClient (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-16500: Added --enable-preview for JDK 19 to enable MemorySegment support in


MMapDirectory (Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-16496: QueryElevationComponent now supports fq exclusions (Rudi Seitz via


David Smiley)

* SOLR-16409: Admin UI - Expose all highlighting parameters in the Query UI (Jeanie


Lam via Eric Pugh)

* SOLR-16532: New OpenTelemetry (OTEL) module with OTLP/gRPC trace exporter. See
ref.guide. (janhoy, David Smiley)

* SOLR-16596: Learning To Rank - Added support for null feature values in multiple
additive trees models (Anna Ruggero via Alessandro Benedetti)

* SOLR-16608: Ability to compress state.json in Zookeeper (Justin Sweeney via


noble)

* SOLR-16646: New function query operator isnan to verify if value is NaN (Gabriel
Magno via Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-16643: Add reRankOperator=multiply/replace options to rerank query parser


(Andy Webb, Christine Poerschke, Mikhail Khludnev)

Improvements
---------------------

* SOLR-16428: IgnoreLargeDocumentProcessorFactory now supports a "permissive" mode,


where it logs and skips
offending documents but doesn't short-circuit the entire batch or return a 4xx
error. This mode can be enabled
by setting the `permissiveMode` boolean option to `true` in your solrconfig.xml's
IgnoreLargeDocumentProcessorFactory declaration. (Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-16392: A number of v2 "replica" endpoints have been updated to be more REST-


ful, and hopefully, intuitive.
ADDREPLICAPROP is now `PUT
/api/collections/$coll/shards/$shard/replicas/$rep/properties/$prop {"value":
$val}`
DELETEREPLICAPROP is now `DELETE
/api/collections/$coll/shards/$shard/replicas/$rep/properties/$prop`

* SOLR-11657: Deprecate ContentStream in favour of RequestWriter.ContentWriter.


(Joshua Ouma via Eric Pugh)
* SOLR-16302: WARN when restoring backup if ConfigSet with same name already exists
(Albert Moser via Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-8803: Java will now crash the Solr process on OOME and create a crash file
that logs the
cause. This capability is now also present on Windows. Before, with bin/solr
but not
bin/solr.cmd, Solr would execute a script that killed the Solr pid, leaving a
very small time
window where Solr would continue to execute in an unpredictable state. (Shawn
Heisey, Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-15748: A v2 equivalent of CLUSTERSTATUS command is now available at `GET


/api/cluster`. Collection listing,
previously at this path, can still be accessed at `GET /api/collections`. (Joshua
Ouma via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-16475: Make the default replica placement plugin configurable as system


property on startup (janhoy)

* SOLR-13626: Document the SystemInfoHandler in the Ref Guide. (Tony Cook via Eric
Pugh)

* SOLR-16420: Introducing `{!mlt_content}foo bar` to cover existing `/mlt` handler


functionality for SolrCloud.
(Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-11028: A v2 equivalent of the `/admin/collections?action= REPLACE` command


is now available at
`POST /api/cluster/nodes/nodeName/replace`. (Joshua Ouma via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-15479: A v2 equivalent of the RENAME command is now available at `POST


/api/collections/collName/rename`. (Anakhe Ajayi via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-16158: Certain Jetty "server" jars (jetty-util, jetty-io, etc.) are no


longer duplicated between server/lib and WEB-INF/lib. All shared jars now live in
server/lib/ext.
By default, Jetty does not allow these jars to be shared by the Jetty server and
the web-app (Solr).
In order to accomplish this, explicit exclusions have been added to
server/contexts/solr-jetty-context.xml that allow these "server" jars to be shared.
Solr Core also no longer contains the JettySolrRunner (now living in the testing
framework), removing the need for Jetty Server dependencies in solr-core.
(Houston Putman)

* SOLR-16565: posting the same file to the package store should not throw an error
(noble)

* SOLR-8975: Introduce Builder setters for setters that exist on SolrClients for
responseParser, requestWriter.
Deprecated these SolrClient setters useMultiPartPost, and followRedirects. (Eric
Pugh, David Smiley, Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-15787: FileSystemConfigSetService: implement the abstraction completely. It


could be useful
for putting ConfigSets on a shared file system. (Nazerke Seidan, David Smiley)

* SOLR-16438: Support optional split.setPreferredLeaders prop in shard split


command. (Bruno Roustant)
* SOLR-10463: Introduce Builder setter for retryExpiryTime on cloud SolrClients.

ConcurrentUpdateHttp2SolrClient. Deprecated
direct setter setPollQueueTime on ConcurrentUpdateHttp2SolrClient. (Eric Pugh)

Deprecated
direct setter setCollectionCacheTTL on cloud SolrClients. (Eric Pugh, David
Smiley)

* SOLR-10452: Introduce Builder setter withTheseParamNamesInTheUrl for queryParams,


renaming them to urlParamNames
to clarify they are parameter names, not the values. Deprecated direct setter
setQueryParams and addQueryParams
on SolrClients. (Eric Pugh, David Smiley, Alex Deparvu)

* SOLR-10470: Introduce Builder setter for parallelCacheRefreshes on cloud


SolrClients. Deprecated
direct setter setParallelCacheRefreshes on cloud SolrClients. (Eric Pugh, David
Smiley, Alex Deparvu)

(janhoy)

* SOLR-15772: More visible security warnings in Admin UI (janhoy)

* SOLR-15787: FileSystemConfigSetService: implement the abstraction completely. It


could be useful

* SOLR-6312: SolrJ Cloud clients now correctly support isUpdatesToLeaders() being


false. This behavior can also be
configured per AbstractUpdateRequest instance. (hossman)

* SOLR-16635: Resolve crypto keys file path in MiniSolrCloudCluster. This


eliminates the need to set the system
properties `pkiHandlerPublicKeyPath` and `pkiHandlerPrivateKeyPath` before
starting MiniSolrCloudCluster when using
the Solr test framework. (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-16618: Admin UI Analysis page should include dynamic fields (Alex Deparvu
via Eric Pugh)

* SOLR-16590: Standardize Builder method names on SolrClient's to use the with


pattern, deprecating the use of set or bare property name. (Eric Pugh)

* SOLR-16595: Standardize Builder methods handling of times to use require a


TimeUnit to be passed in. Deprecated methods that
do not specify a TimeUnit. (Eric Pugh)
* SOLR-16665: The base docker image has been upgraded from Ubuntu 20 (Focal) to
Ubuntu 22 (Jammy). (Houston Putman)

* SOLR-11029: A v2 equivalent of the `/admin/collections?action=DELETENODE` command


is now available at
`POST /api/cluster/nodes/nodeName/clear`. (Bence Szabo via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-16665: The base docker image has been upgraded from Ubuntu 20 (Focal) to
Ubuntu 22 (Jammy). (Houston Putman)

`DELETE /api/cores/coreName/snapshots/snapshotName`, respectively (John Durham
via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-16488: The paths of the v2 "ZooKeeper read" APIs have been tweaked slightly
to be more intuitive. "get node data" is now available
at `GET /api/cluster/zookeeper/data/<path>`, and "list node children" is now
available at `GET /api/cluster/zookeeper/children/<path>`
(Jason Gerlowski, Joshua Ouma)

* SOLR-16393: The path of the v2 "list alias" API has been tweaked slightly to be
more intuitive, and is now available at
`GET /api/aliases`. It is also now possible to request information about a
specific alias at `GET /api/aliases/<aliasName>`.
(Alex Deparvu via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-16397: /mlt now has a v2 API available at `GET


/api/collections/collName/mlt` (Ameer Albahem via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-14926, SOLR-14926, SOLR-13506: Modernize and clean up search results


clustering module. This issue upgrades
the clustering module to the new Carrot2 4.x line, dropping several CVE-prone
dependencies along the way.
The parameters and configuration of the module extensions have changed. The
documentation in Solr ref guide
has been rewritten from scratch to be up to date. Clustering code has been
rewritten from scratch to work
properly regardless of the mode (standalone, distributed). The API has been
stripped of ancient, unused, interfaces
and simplified. (Dawid Weiss)

* SOLR-14972: Prometheus: Change default port of prometheus exporter to 8989


because it clashed with default
embedded zookeeper port (janhoy)

that may add
a minor performance boost to some cases (e.g. interval facets). Reduced need for
Filter.java.
(Michael Gibney, David Smiley)

* SOLR-15329: Improve HDFS Directory size calculation (Andras Salamon via Mike
Drob)

entire core or collection name.
(Matthias Krepp, Eric Pugh)

* SOLR-15044: When indexing nested docs via JSON, it is no longer necessary to


provide child doc IDs.
This was already working for XML & "javabin"/SolrJ. Previously, omitting the ID
would be confused
for a partial/atomic update. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-10887: Migrate "managed-schema" file naming to "managed-schema.xml" file


name, with a fallback to the legacy
"managed-schema". (Eric Pugh, David Smiley)
* SOLR-15630: Logging MDC values no longer include a hardcoded prefix, allowing

the plain values. The default log4j2.xml PatternLayout has been updated to ensure
the values are formatted with the
existing prefixes. (hossman)

through UI, not relying on default
solrconfig.xml behavior. (Eric Pugh)

CompositeId router with a router field
and the route is missing from the command. (Michael Kosten via Christine
Poerschke, David Smiley, Eric Pugh)

* SOLR-15790: SearchHandler now includes the `rid` value in the Logging MDC for the
duration of the request, allowing
custom logging configurations to include it. (hossman)

* SOLR-15785: Custom node request handlers/endpoints that weren't in packages can


now be located in JARs in solr-home/lib,
not just WEB-INF/lib. (Nazerke Seidan, David Smiley)

CollectionAdminRequest.CreateTimeRoutedAlias.setMaxFutureMs
to support durations greater than ~ 25 days. (Nahian-Al Hasan, Gus Heck,

documents. They can
also themselves be atomic updates. (James Ashbourne, Endika Posadas via David
Smiley)

* SOLR-10321: Highlighting (hl.method=unified): When there are no highlights for a


field, don't
return the field in the response at all. (David Smiley)

SimplePlacementPlugin. This is still the default
placement policy for Solr. (Houston Putman, Ilan Ginzburg)

which is a Query
and DocSetProducer. (Collins Abanda, Mike Drob, Tim Potter, David Smiley, Michael
Gibney)

* SOLR-12336: Remove Filter, SolrFilter and SolrConstantScoreQuery. Filter no


longer has a need to exist due to multiple JIRA issues,
implemented by a number of issues. With Filter going away, there is no longer

Smiley, Michael Gibney)

in a distributed/SolrCloud context (Michael Gibney)

* SOLR-15755: Parse collection, shard, core, replica info from newSearcher events
in postlogs tool (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-9575: Solr no longer requires a solr.xml to be present in $SOLR_HOME. If one


is not found, Solr will load

in $SOLR_HOME if started with
embedded zookeeper. (janhoy)
* SOLR-11905: New Admin UI Query screen input boxes for JSON query and facet DSL

It's now tracked as if it's another handler with a "[shard]" suffix, e.g.
"/select[shard]".
There are no longer ".distrib." named metrics; all metrics are assumed to be such
except
"[shard]". The default Prometheus exporter config splits that component to a new
label
named "internal". The sample Grafana dashboard now filters to include or exclude
this.

logs, you can disable
via SOLR_REQUESTLOG_ENABLED=false. (rmuir, janhoy)

be included in lib/ with all

property/value pairs. This is useful to
maintain a whitelist of collections for which actions are taken without needing
to hard code the collection names
themselves. The collection hints are pushed down to the policy engine so
operations for non-matching collections
are not computed at all. (ab, shalin)

controlled by system property
'solr.allowPaths' that allows you to add other allowed paths when needed.
* SOLR-13286: Metrics will no longer write a (sometimes large) log message every
minute. This can be re-enabled
via log4j2.xml if desired, or other HttpSolrCall log messages may be quieted on a
per handler basis. (Gus Heck)

value of matching documents in the response (numFound) will be an approximation.
(Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Munendra S N, Tomás Fernández Löbbe, David Smiley)

* SOLR-14472: Autoscaling "cores" preference now retrieves the core count more
efficiently, and counts all cores.
(David Smiley)

(rmuir)

* SOLR-14136: Jetty's InetAccessHandler can be enabled via environment variables,


SOLR_IP_WHITELIST and SOLR_IP_BLACKLIST. These variables can restrict access to

(Eric Pugh via Christine Poerschke)

Optimizations
---------------------

* SOLR-13890: Add "top-level" DV implementation for {!terms} queries. This


approach tends to be more efficient for
queries with very large numbers of terms. The new implementation is used by
default for method=docValuesTermsFilter
terms queries that are searching 500 or more terms. Users wishing to ignore this
heuristic can choose the
docValuesTermsFilterTopLevel or docValuesTermsFilterPerSegment methods directly.
(Jason Gerlowski, Joel Bernstein, David Smiley)

* SOLR-13808: filter in BoolQParser and {"bool":{"filter":..}} in Query DSL are


cached by default (Mikhail Khludnev)
* SOLR-14040: The shareSchema solr.xml option now supports SolrCloud. shareSchema

Salamon via Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
* SOLR-14184: Internal 'test' variable DirectUpdateHandler2.commitOnClose has been

Apache ZooKeeper 3.5.5
Jetty 9.4.19.v20190610

Upgrade Notes
---------------------

* SOLR-14158: Package manager now stores keys in package store instead of ZK. If
you're using package manager and have already
added any repositories, then you would need to re-add all the keys from /keys/exe
location, one-by-one, using:
"bin/solr add-key <keyfile.der>"

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-14106: Cleanup Jetty SslContextFactory usage (Ryan Rockenbaugh, Jan Hoydahl,


Kevin Risden)
* SOLR-14109: Always log to stdout from server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.{bat|sh}

================== 8.4.0 ==================

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this
release.

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.19.1
Carrot2 3.16.0
Velocity 2.0 and Velocity Tools 3.0
Apache ZooKeeper 3.5.5
Jetty 9.4.19.v20190610

Upgrade Notes
---------------------

* SOLR-13823:
org.apache.solr.search.grouping.distributed.command.QueryCommand.Builder has new
method 'setMainQuery' which is used
to set top-level query. build() would fail if called without setting mainQuery.

* SOLR-13817: Deprecate legacy SolrCache implementations. Users are encouraged to


transition their
configurations to use org.apache.solr.search.CaffeineCache instead. (ab)

* SOLR-13982: Some security-related http headers such as Content-Security-Policy


are now set. If you have custom html served
up by Solr's http server that contains inline javascript, it will no longer
execute in modern browsers. You can fix your JS
code to not run inline anymore, or edit etc/jetty.xml and weaken the CSP, or
remove/alter the headers with a reverse proxy. (rmuir)

* SOLR-13806: QueryResponse.getExplainMap() type has changed from Map<String,


String> to Map<String, Object>
in order to accommodate structured explanations. This is a partially back-
compatible change - compiled
third-party components will work the same as before due to type erasure but
source code changes may be
required.

* SOLR-14025: VelocityResponseWriter has been hardened - only trusted configsets


can render configset provided
templates and rendering templates from request parameters has been removed.

* SOLR-13904: timeAllowed parameter is allowed to have 0 value (Houston Putman,


Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-13970: Using Collapse filter or expand component with grouping is explicitly


disallowed as the combination
would cause inconsistent behavior and NPEs.

* SOLR-13978: The default configset no longer has the following:


- Library inclusions (<lib ../>) for extraction, solr-cell libs, clustering,
velocity, LTR and language identifier
- /browse, /tvrh and /update/extract handlers
- TermVector component (if someone wants it, can be added using config APIs)
- XSLT response writer
- Velocity response writer
If you want to use them in your collections, please add them to your configset
manually or through the Config APIs.

* SOLR-14071: Untrusted configsets (ones that are uploaded via unsecured configset
API) cannot use <lib> directive.
Consider enabling authentication/authorization so that the uploaded configsets
are trusted.
Note: If you already have a collection using untrusted configset that uses <lib>
directive, it will not load after
upgrading to 8.4. You can re-upload your configset using "bin/solr zk -
upconfig .." or place your libraries in the
classpath and restart Solr.

* SOLR-14065: VelocityResponseWriter has been deprecated and may be removed in a


future version.

* SOLR-14072: The "Blob Store" API and "runtimeLib" plugin mechanism that uses it
is now considered deprecated. The
replacement to it is the "Package Management" system, which includes a "File
Store". These are experimental currently
but will grow/stabalize/mature.

be followed by a number. (Chris Hennick)

* SOLR-13762: Fix BinaryField support for non-binary wt's (Thomas Woeckinger via

"params.resource.loader.enabled" and "solr.resource.loader.enabled" have been
removed and replaced by
Java system properties "velocity.resourceloader.params.enabled" and
"velocity.resourceloader.solr.enabled"
respectively (both turned off by default). Please see SOLR-13971 for more

================== 8.3.0 ==================


Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this
release.

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.19.1
Carrot2 3.16.0
Velocity 2.0 and Velocity Tools 3.0
Apache ZooKeeper 3.5.5
Jetty 9.4.19.v20190610

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* Users who have written test cases that extend SolrTestCaseJ4 may see
NullPointerExceptions if
their tests directly reference both SolrTestCaseJ4.initCoreDataDir and
SolrTestCaseJ4.deleteCore().
This change in behavior is due to a bug fix in deleteCore() to ensure the dataDir
is properly reset
in tests that call initCore()/deleteCore() multiple times in a given test
(class). initCoreDataDir
is now deprecated, and users are encouraged to use
SolrTestCaseJ4.initAndGetDataDir() in it's place.
See SOLR-13664 for more details.

removed later, please use 'jwksUrl'
instead. See SOLR-13734.

* SOLR-13855: DistributedZkUpdateProcessor should have been propagating


URP.finish() lifecycle like it used to before

release.

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.19.1
Carrot2 3.16.0
Velocity 2.0 and Velocity Tools 3.0
Apache ZooKeeper 3.5.5
Jetty 9.4.19.v20190610

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* SOLR-8346: Upgrade ZooKeeper to 3.5.5. ZooKeeper 3.5.5 introduces more security


features. Include in your zoo.cfg
file at minimum the following:
4lw.commands.whitelist=mntr,conf,ruok
You can use
4lw.commands.whitelist=* to enable all ZooKeeper "4 letter commands".
(Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-13515: org.apache.solr.util.SolrPluginUtils.IdentityRegenerator has been


removed, please use
the identical org.apache.solr.search.NoOpRegenerator instead. (David Smiley,
Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-13541: Upgrade Jetty to 9.4.19.v20190610. (Erick Erickson, Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-13420: Routed Aliases now use collection properties rather than core
properties to identify collections that
belong to the alias by default. This should be invisible and fully backwards
compatible from within solr, and
existing routed alias collections with core based properties will continue to
work, but new collections created will
not add a property to core.properties anymoore so any external code that
inspected core.properties will not find the
'routedAliasName' key in new cores belonging to routed aliases.

* SOLR-13419: Time Routed Aliases now have a '__TRA__' infix preceding the
timestamp portion of the collection names.
collections with the old format will not be altered and will continue to work,
but any new TRA's or new collections
for existing TRA's will use the new format. Solr will handle this invisibly, but
any external code that attempted to
predict collection names in TRA's will probably need adjustment.

* SOLR-13507: Support for "addr" parameter from the "/solr/admin/zookeeper"


endpoint has now been removed and will no
longer be supported.

* SOLR-13333: unleashing terms.ttf from terms.list when distrib=false (Munendra S N


via Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-13490: Fix CollectionStateWatcher/CollectionStatePredicate based APIs in

* SOLR-13510: Intermittent 401's for internode requests with basicauth enabled (Cao
Manh Dat, Colvin Cowie)

* SOLR-13523: In 8.1, Atomic Updates were broken (NPE) when the schema declared the

Reminder: if you don't need nested docs then remove both _root_ and _nest_path_ !
(David Smiley)

Velocity 2.0 and Velocity Tools 3.0
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.14
Jetty 9.4.14.v20181114

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* Solr's default behavior when dealing with 'maxBooleanClauses' has changed to


reduce the risk of exponential
query expansion when dealing with pathological query strings. A default upper
limit of 1024 clauses
(The same default prior to Solr 7.0) is now enforced at the node level, and can
be overridden in solr.xml.
The identically named solrconfig.xml setting is still available for limiting the
size of 'explicit' boolean
query strings, but this per-collection limit is still ristricted by the upper-
bound of the global limit
in solr.xml. See SOLR-13336 for more details.

* When requesting the status of an async request via REQUESTSTATUS collections API,
the response will
include the list of internal async requests (if any) in the "success" or "failed"
keys (in addition
to them being included outside those keys for backwards compatibility). See SOLR-
12708 for more
details

* SOLR-13335: Velocity and Velocity Tools were both upgraded as part of this
release. Velocity upgraded from 1.7 to 2.0.
Please see https://velocity.apache.org/engine/2.0/upgrading.html about upgrading.
Velocity Tools upgraded from 2.0 to
3.0. For more details, please see
https://velocity.apache.org/tools/3.0/upgrading.html for details about the upgrade.

* SOLR-13407: Update requests sent to non-routed aliases that point to multiple


collections are no longer accepted. Until
now Solr followed an obscure convention of updating only the first collection
from the list, which usually was not what
the user intended. This change explicitly rejects such update requests.

* SolrGangliaReporter has been removed from Solr because support for Ganglia has
been removed from Dropwizard Metrics 4
due to a transitive dependency on LGPL.

* Custom TransientSolrCoreCache implementations no longer use the


Observer/Observable pattern. To notify Solr that
a core has been aged out of the cache, call
CoreContainer.queueCoreToClose(SolrCore). See SOLR-13400 for details.

* SOLR-13394: The default GC has been changed from CMS to G1. To override this (in
order to switch to CMS or any
other GC), use GC_TUNE section of bin/solr.in.sh or bin/solr.in.cmd.

* SOLR-5970: Until now, the CREATE command of Collections API returned status 0
even in case of failure. Now, the status
code will be non-zero in case of failures (e.g. 4xx, 5xx).

New Features
----------------------
* SOLR-13131: Category Routed Aliases are now available for data driven assignment
of documents to collections based on
values of a field. The Ref Guide now has a page dedicated to explaining the
different types of aliases. (Gus Heck,
Moshe Bla)

* SOLR-13171 : A true streaming parser for javabin payload/stream without creating


any objects (noble)

* SOLR-13261: Make SortableTextField work with export/streaming. NOTE: requires


that the field have
useDocValuesAsStored=true (either explicit or as the default).

* SOLR-12121: JWT Token authentication plugin with OpenID Connect implicit flow
login through Admin UI (janhoy)

* SOLR-12120: New AuditLoggerPlugin type allowing custom Audit logger plugins


(janhoy)

* SOLR-10436: Add hashRollup Streaming Expression (Joel Bernstein)


* SOLR-13276: Adding Http2 equivalent classes of CloudSolrClient and
HttpClusterStateProvider (Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-13287: Allow zplot to visualize probability distributions in Apache Zeppelin


(Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-13271: Read-only mode for SolrCloud collections (ab, shalin)

* SOLR-13292: Provide extended per-segment status of a collection. (ab)

* SOLR-11127: REINDEXCOLLECTION command for re-indexing of existing collections.


This issue also adds
a back-compat check of the .system collection to notify users of potential
compatibility issues after
upgrades or schema changes. (ab)

* SOLR-13374: Add fetchSize parameter to the jdbc Streaming Expression (Joel


Bernstein)

* SOLR-12638: Partial/Atomic Updates for nested documents. This enables atomic


updates for nested documents, without
the need to supply the whole nested hierarchy (which would be overwritten if
absent). This is done by fetching the
whole document hierarchy, updating the specific doc in the path that is to be
updated, removing the old document
hierarchy and indexing the new one with the atomic update merged into it. Also,
[child] Doc Transformer now works
with RealTimeGet. (Moshe Bla, David Smiley)

collection admin commands. (ab)

* SOLR-13391: Add variance and standard deviation stream evaluators (Nazerke


Seidan, Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-11883: 500 code on functional query syntax errors and parameter


dereferencing errors
(Munendra S N via Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-13234: Prometheus Metric Exporter not threadsafe. This changes the


prometheus exporter to collect metrics

collections. This change also improves
performance slightly by using the cluster state instead of sending multiple HTTP
requests to each node to lookup
all the cores.

processing concurrent requests during shutdown. This primarily affected tests,
but may have also caused
odd errors/delays when restart/shutting down solr nodes. (hossman)

* SOLR-13336: add maxBooleanClauses (default to 1024) setting to solr.xml,


reverting previous effective
value of Integer.MAX_VALUE-1, to restrict risk of pathalogical query expansion.
(hossman)

* SOLR-13386: OverseerTaskQueue#remove should not throw an exception when no node


exists after an exists
check and the Overseer work loop should not allow free spinning the loop when it
hits a KeeperException.
(Mark Miller, Fernandez-Lobbe, Mike Drob)

* SOLR-12371: Editing authorization config via REST API now works in standalone
mode (janhoy)

Improvements
----------------------

from master if there is not enough
disk space (noble)

* SOLR-13407: Reject update requests sent to non-routed multi collection aliases.


(ab)

* SOLR-11035: (at least) 2 distinct failures possible when clients attempt searches
during SolrCore reload,
added test band-aid for DocValuesNotIndexedTest.

* SOLR-13337: Only request the minimum required number of terms from each shard
when using terms.sort=index and none
are discarded due to terms.min/maxcount (Morten Bøgeskov,Munendra S N via Mikhail
Khludnev)

* SOLR-12167: Throw an exception, instead of just a warning, when unknown atomic

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-11763: Upgrade Guava to 25.1-jre (Markus Jelsma, Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-13222: Improve logging in StreamingSolrClients (Peter Cseh via Kevin Risden)


* SOLR-12055: Enable async logging by default. This change improves throughput for
logging. This opens
up a small window where log messages could possibly be lost. If this is
unacceptable, switching back to synchronous
logging can be done by changing the log4j2.xml file, no internal Solr code
changed to make async logging the default.
(Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-12753: Async logging ring buffer and OOM error. When very long messages are
written (1M messages or so),
it can produce an OOM error. Log messages are truncated at 10K via configuration
in the log4j2.xml files.

* SOLR-9763: Remove the workaround implemented for HADOOP-12767 (Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-13060: Improve HdfsAutoAddReplicasIntegrationTest and

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.19.1
Carrot2 3.16.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.13
Jetty 9.4.14.v20181114

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* Due to the introduction of LIR redesign since Solr 7.3 (SOLR-11702) and the
removing of old LIR implementation in Solr 8.
Rolling updates are not possible unless all nodes must be on Solr 7.3 or higher.
If not updates can be lost.

* Solr nodes can now listen and serve HTTP/2 requests. Most of internal requests
(sent by UpdateShardHandler, HttpShardHandler)
Http2SolrClient is used. Since by default, internal requests are sent by using
HTTP/2,
Solr 8.0 nodes can't talk to old nodes (7.x). However we can follow these steps
to do rolling updates:
- Do rolling updates as normally, but the Solr 8.0 nodes must start with -
Dsolr.http1=true as startup parameter.
By using this parameter internal requests are sent by using HTTP/1.1
- When all nodes are upgraded to 8.0, restart them, this time -Dsolr.http1
parameter should be removed.

* ALPN is not supported in Java 8 or lower version therefore when a node started in
Java 8 or a lower version with SSL enabled,
it will send and can only be able to handle HTTP/1.1 requests. In case of using
SSL Java 9 or latter versions are recommended.

* Custom AuthenticationPlugin must provide its own setup for Http2SolrClient


through
implementing HttpClientBuilderPlugin.setup, if not internal requests can't be
authenticated.

* LUCENE-7996: The 'func' query parser now returns scores that are equal to 0
when a negative value is produced. This change is due to the fact that
Lucene now requires scores to be positive. (Adrien Grand)

* SOLR-11882: SolrMetric registries retained references to SolrCores when closed. A


change of SolrMetricMAnager.registerGauge and
SolrMetricProducer.initializeMetrics
method signatures was required to fix it. Third party components that use this
API
need to be updated. (Eros Taborelli, Erick Erickson, ab)

* LUCENE-8267: Memory codecs have been removed from the codebase (MemoryPostings,
MemoryDocValues). If you used postingsFormat="Memory" or docValuesFormat="Memory"
then either remove it to use the default or experiment with one of the others.
(Dawid Weiss)

* SOLR-12586: The date format patterns used by ParseDateFieldUpdateProcessorFactory


(present in "schemaless mode")
are now interpreted by Java 8's java.time.DateTimeFormatter instead of Joda Time.
The pattern language is very
similar but not the same. Typically, simply update the pattern by changing an
uppercase 'Z' to lowercase 'z' and
that's it. For the current recommended set of patterns in schemaless mode, see
"Schemaless Mode" in the ref guide,
or simply examine the default configSet. Also note that the set of patterns
(formats) here have
expanded from before to subsume those patterns previously handled by the
"extract" contrib (Solr Cell / Tika).
(David Smiley, Bar Rotstein)

* SOLR-12593: The "extraction" contrib (Solr Cell) no longer does any date parsing,
and thus no longer has the
"date.formats" configuration. To ensure date strings are properly parsed, use
ParseDateFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
(an URP) commonly registered with the name "parse-date" in "schemaless mode".
(David Smiley, Bar Rotstein)

* SOLR-12643: Since Http2SolrClient does not support exposing connections related


metrics. These metrics are no longer
available 'QUERY.httpShardHandler.{availableConnections, leasedConnections,
maxConnections, pendingConnections}',
'UPDATE.updateShardHandler.{availableConnections, leasedConnections,
maxConnections, pendingConnections}'

* SOLR-12605: UpdateShardHandler's updateOnlyClient is now a Http2SolrClient


(previous HttpSolrClient). This new
client does not support 'maxConnections','maxConnectionsPerHost' parameters.

* SOLR-12640: HttpShardHandlerFactory's defaultClient is now a Http2SolrClient


(previous HttpSolrClient). This new
client does not support 'maxConnections','maxConnectionsPerHost' parameters.
LBHttpSolrClient.Req and LBHttpSolrClient.Rsp
are marked as deprecated, uses LBSolrClient.Req and LBSolrClient.Rsp instead.

* SOLR-12754: The UnifiedHighlighter hl.weightMatches now defaults to true. If


there are unforseen highlight problems,
this may be the culprit.

* If you explicitly use BM25SimilarityFactory in your schema, the absolute scoring


will be lower due to SOLR-13025.
But ordering of documents will not change in the normal case. Use
LegacyBM25SimilarityFactory if you need to force
the old 6.x/7.x scoring. Note that if you have not specified any similarity in
schema or use the default
SchemaSimilarityFactory, then LegacyBM25Similarity is automatically selected for
'luceneMatchVersion' < 8.0.0.
See also explanation in Reference Guide chapter "Other Schema Elements".

* SOLR-12535: Solr no longer accepts index time boosts in JSON provided to Solr.
This used to be provided like so:
{'id':'1', 'val_s':{'value':'foo', 'boost':2.0}} but will now produce an error.
A object/map structure will now only
be interpreted as a child document or an atomic update; nothing else. A
uniqueKey is currently required on all child
documents to be interpreted as such, though this may change in the future.
(David Smiley)

* SOLR-12633: When JSON data is sent to Solr with nested child documents split
using the "split" parameter, the child
docs will now be associated to their parents by the field/label string used in
the JSON instead of anonymously. Most
users probably won't notice the distinction since the label is lost any way
unless special fields are in the schema.
This choice used to be toggleable with an internal/expert "anonChildDocs"
parameter flag which is now gone.
(David Smiley)

* SOLR-11774: In 'langid' contrib, the LanguageIdentifierUpdateProcessor base class


changed some method signatures.
If you have a custom language identifier implementation you will need to adapt
your code.

* SOLR-9515: Hadoop dependencies have been upgraded to Hadoop 3.2.0 from 2.7.2.
(Mark Miller, Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-5211: Deleting (or updating) documents by their uniqueKey is now scoped to


only consider root documents, not
child/nested documents. Thus a delete-by-id won't work on a child doc (no-op),
and an attempt to update a child doc
by providing a new doc with the same ID would add a new doc (probably erroneous).
Both these actions were and still
are problematic. In-place-updates are safe though. If you want to delete
certain child documents and if you know
they don't themselves have nested children then you must do so with a delete-by-
query technique.

* SOLR-13248: The default replica placement strategy used in Solr has been reverted
to the 'legacy' policy used by Solr
7.4 and previous versions. This is due to multiple bugs in the autoscaling based
replica placement strategy that was
made default in Solr 7.5 which causes multiple replicas of the same shard to be
placed on the same node in addition
to the maxShardsPerNode and createNodeSet parameters being ignored. Although the
default has changed, autoscaling
will continue to be used if a cluster policy or preference is specified or a
collection level policy is in use.
The default replica placement strategy can be changed to use autoscaling again by
setting a cluster property:
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' --data-binary '
{
"set-obj-property": {
"defaults" : {
"cluster": {
"useLegacyReplicaAssignment":false
}
}
}
}' http://$SOLR_HOST:$SOLR_PORT/api/cluster

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-12591: Expand the set of recognized date format patterns of schemaless mode
to subsume those handled by the
"extract" contrib (Solr Cell / Tika). This is primarily a change in
configuration of the default configSet for more
patterns, but also included enabling "lenient" parsing in
ParseDateFieldUpdateProcessorFactory. The default
locale was changed from ROOT to en_US since well-known patterns assume this
locale.
(David Smiley, Bar Rotstein)

* SOLR-12879: MinHash query parser that builds queries providing a measure of


Jaccard similarity (Andy Hind via Tommaso Teofili)

* SOLR-12593: The default configSet now includes an "ignored_*" dynamic field.


(David Smiley)

* SOLR-12799: Allow Authentication Plugins to intercept internode requests on a


per-request basis.
The BasicAuth plugin now supports a new parameter 'forwardCredentials', and when
set to 'true',
user's BasicAuth credentials will be used instead of PKI for client initiated
internode requests. (janhoy, noble)

* SOLR-12791: Add Metrics reporting for AuthenticationPlugin (janhoy)

* SOLR-12730: Implement staggered SPLITSHARD requests in IndexSizeTrigger. (ab)

* SOLR-12639: Umbrella JIRA for adding support HTTP/2 (Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-12768, SOLR-13129: Improved nested document support, and enabled in the


default schema with the presence of _nest_path_.
When this field is present, certain things happen automatically. An internal URP
is automatically used to populate
it. The [child] (doc transformer) will return a hierarchy with relationships; no
params needed. The relationship
path is indexed for use in queries (can be disabled if not needed). Also, child
documents needn't provide a uniqueKey
value as Solr will supply one automatically by concatenating a path to that of
the parent document's key.
(David Smiley, Moshe Bla).

* SOLR-13134: Allow the knnRegress Stream Evaluator to more easily perform


bivariate regression.
(Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-13104: Add natural and repeat Stream Evaluators (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-13147: Add movingMAD Stream Evaluator (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-13155: Add command-line option for testing autoscaling configurations. (ab)


* SOLR-13241: Add 'autoscaling' tool support to solr.cmd (Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-11126: New Node-level health check handler at /admin/info/healthcheck and


/node/health paths that
checks if the node is live, connected to zookeeper and not shutdown. (Anshum
Gupta, Amrit Sarkar, shalin)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-13058: Fix block that was synchronizing on the wrong collection in


OverseerTaskProcessor (Gus Heck)

* SOLR-11774: langid.map.individual now works together with langid.map.keepOrig.


Also the detectLanguage() API
is changed to accept a Reader allowing for more memory efficient implementations
(janhoy)

* SOLR-13126: Query boosts were not being combined correctly for documents where
not all boost queries
matched (Alan Woodward, Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-13248: Autoscaling based replica placement is broken out of the box. Solr
7.5 enabled autoscaling based replica
placement by default but in the absence of default cluster policies, autoscaling
can place more than 1 replica of the
same shard on the same node. Also, the maxShardsPerNode and createNodeSet was not
respected. Due to these reasons,
this issue reverts the default replica placement policy to the 'legacy'
assignment policy that was the default until
Solr 7.4. (Gus Heck, Andrzej Bialecki, Bram Van Dam, shalin)

* SOLR-13255 : ClasscastException when URPs try to read a String field which


returns a ByteArrayUTF8CHarSequence . This is a regression
in release 7.7 (noble)

*SOLR-13299: Fix Windows startup script to disable HTTP/2 if TLS is enabled on Java
8. (Uwe Schindler)

Improvements
----------------------

* SOLR-5211: If _root_ is defined in the schema, it is now always populated


automatically. This allows documents with
children to be updated with a document that does not have children, whereas before
it would break block-join queries.
If you don't use nested documents then _root_ can be removed from the schema. (Dr
Oleg Savrasov, Moshe Bla,
David Smiley, Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-6117: The response format has changed slightly for ReplicationHandler error-
cases. All errors now have a non-200
'status' field, a 'message' field giving more details on the error, and an
optional 'exception' field. (Shalin Mangar,
Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-12888: The NestedUpdateProcessor (which populates internal fields for nested


child docs) is now auto-registered
to run immediately prior to RunUpdateProcessor. If the schema has no _nest_*_
fields then it's a no-op.
RunUpdateProcessorFactory looks up a special/internal URP chain "_preRun_" which
is implicitly defined but could be
defined by an app for customization if desired. (David Smiley)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-12725: ParseDateFieldUpdateProcessorFactory should reuse ParsePosition. (ab)

* SOLR-13025: Due to LUCENE-8563, the BM25Similarity formula no longer includes the


(k1+1) factor in the numerator
This gives a lower absolute score but doesn't affect ordering, as this is a
constant factor which is the same
for every document. Use LegacyBM25SimilarityFactory if you need the old 6.x/7.x
scoring. See also upgrade notes (janhoy)

* SOLR-13130: during the ResponseBuilder.STAGE_GET_FIELDS directly copy string


bytes and avoid creating String Objects (noble)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-12614: Make "Nodes" view the default in AdminUI "Cloud" tab (janhoy)

* SOLR-12586: Upgrade ParseDateFieldUpdateProcessorFactory (present in "schemaless


mode") to use Java 8's
java.time.DateTimeFormatter instead of Joda time (see upgrade notes). "Lenient"
is enabled. Removed Joda Time dependency.
(David Smiley, Bar Rotstein)

* SOLR-5163: edismax now throws an exception when qf refers to a nonexistent field


(Charles Sanders, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12805: Store previous term (generation) of replica when start recovery


process (Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-12652: Remove SolrMetricManager.overridableRegistryName method (Peter


Somogyi via David Smiley)

* LUCENE-8513: SlowCompositeReaderWrapper now uses MultiTerms directly instead of


MultiFields (David Smiley)

* SOLR-11812: Remove backward compatibility of old LIR implementation in 8.0 (Cao


Manh Dat)

* SOLR-12620: Remove the Admin UI Cloud -> Graph (Radial) view (janhoy)

* SOLR-12775: LowerCaseTokenizer is deprecated, and should be replaced by


LetterTokenizer and
LowerCaseFilter (Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-13036: Fix retry logic in JettySolrRunner (Gus Heck)

* SOLR-12535: Solr no longer accepts index time boosts in JSON provided to Solr.
(David Smiley)
* SOLR-13086: Improve the error message reported by DocumentObjectBinder when a
setter is not found (Gus Heck)

* SOLR-12365: Renamed class Config to XmlConfigFile (David Smiley)

* SOLR-9515: Hadoop dependencies have been upgraded to Hadoop 3.2.0 from 2.7.2.

* SOLR-13234: The Prometheus Metric Exporter now collects metrics from Solr at a
fixed schedule that is controlled
by the exporter itself. The default interval is 60s but it can be changed by
specifying the --scrape-interval
command line parameter to the tool. The collected metrics are cached and returned
for any requests coming in before
the next scheduled collection. This can impact the freshness of the metrics if
prometheus is configured to query the
tool more frequently.

* SOLR-12708: When requesting the status of an async request via REQUESTSTATUS


collections API, the response will
include the list of internal async requests (if any) in the "success" or "failed"
keys (in addition
to them being included outside those keys for backwards compatibility). See SOLR-
12708 for more
details

Bug fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-13234: Prometheus Metric Exporter not threadsafe. This changes the


prometheus exporter to collect metrics
from Solr on a fixed interval controlled by this tool and prevents concurrent
collections. This change also improves
performance slightly by using the cluster state instead of sending multiple HTTP
requests to each node to lookup
all the cores.
(Danyal Prout via shalin)

* SOLR-12708: Async collection actions should not hide internal failures (Mano
Kovacs, Varun Thacker, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-13355: 'all' permission ignored by RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin in most


cases (Jason Gerlowski, janhoy)

* SOLR-13344: Admin UI inaccessible with RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin (janhoy,


Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-12860: MetricsHistoryHandler now uses PKI Auth for metrics collection in


background thread (janhoy, Lorenzo)

* SOLR-13331: Atomic Update 'remove' operations broken for certain field types in
SolrJ (Thomas Wockinger via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-13285: Updates with enum fields and javabin cause ClassCastException (noble)

* SOLR-12371: Editing authorization config via REST API now works in standalone
mode (janhoy)

* SOLR-13281: Fixed NPE in DocExpirationUpdateProcessorFactory (Munendra S N, Tomás


Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-13409: Disable HTML directory listings in admin interface to prevent


possible security issues (Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-13126: Query boosts were not being combined correctly for documents where
not all boost queries
matched (Alan Woodward, Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-13414: SolrSchema - Avoid NPE if Luke returns field with no type defined
(Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-12833: Avoid unnecessary memory cost when DistributedUpdateProcessor timed-


out lock is not used. (ab)

* SOLR-13449: SolrClientNodeStateProvider always retries on requesting metrics from


other nodes (Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-13112: Upgrade jackson to 2.9.8 (Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-13410: Designated overseer wasn't able to rejoin election queue at head upon
restart (Ishan Chattopadhyaya,
Kesharee Nandan Vishwakarma)

exception
occurred while reconnecting to ZooKeeper. (hu xiaodong via Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-13252: Fix an NPE when setting a "policy" property for an existing


collection (ab)

* SOLR-13398: Move log line "Processing SSL Credential Provider chain..." from INFO
to DEBUG (janhoy)

* SOLR-13386: OverseerTaskQueue#remove should not throw an exception when no node


exists after an exists
check and the Overseer work loop should not allow free spinning the loop when it
hits a KeeperException.
(Mark Miller, Fernandez-Lobbe, Mike Drob)
* SOLR-13366: Clarify 'Invalid stage name' warning logging in AutoScalingConfig
(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-13352: Remove risk of deadlock/threadleak when shutting down an


Overseer(TriggerThread). (hossman)

* SOLR-13229: Cleanup replicasMetTragicEvent after all types of exception (Tomás


Fernández Löbbe)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-13363: Upgrade to ZooKeeper 3.4.14 (Erick Erickson)

Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.13
Jetty 9.4.14.v20181114

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* SOLR-13248: The default replica placement strategy used in Solr has been
reverted to the 'legacy' policy used by Solr
7.4 and previous versions. This is due to multiple bugs in the autoscaling based
replica placement strategy that was
made default in Solr 7.5 which causes multiple replicas of the same shard to be
placed on the same node in addition
to the maxShardsPerNode and createNodeSet parameters being ignored. Although the
default has changed, autoscaling
will continue to be used if a cluster policy or preference is specified or a
collection level policy is in use.
The default replica placement strategy can be changed to use autoscaling again
by setting a cluster property:
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' --data-binary '
{
"set-obj-property": {
"defaults" : {
"cluster": {
"useLegacyReplicaAssignment":false
}
}
}
}' http://$SOLR_HOST:$SOLR_PORT/api/cluster

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-13255 : ClasscastException when URPs try to read a String field which


returns a ByteArrayUTF8CHarSequence . This is a regression
in release 7.7 (noble)

* SOLR-13248: Autoscaling based replica placement is broken out of the box. Solr
7.5 enabled autoscaling based replica
placement by default but in the absence of default cluster policies, autoscaling
can place more than 1 replica of the
same shard on the same node. Also, the maxShardsPerNode and createNodeSet was not
respected. Due to these reasons,
this issue reverts the default replica placement policy to the 'legacy'
assignment policy that was the default until
Solr 7.4. (Gus Heck, Andrzej Bialecki, Bram Van Dam, shalin)

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* SOLR-12770: The 'shards' parameter handling logic changes to use a new config
element to determine what hosts can be
requested. Please see Apache Solr Reference Guide chapter "Distributed Requests"
for details, as well as SOLR-12770.

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-12839: JSON 'terms' Faceting now supports a 'prelim_sort' option to use when
initially selecting
the top ranking buckets, prior to the final 'sort' option used after refinement.
(hossman)

* SOLR-7896: Add a login page to Admin UI, with initial support for Basic Auth
(janhoy)

* SOLR-13116: Add Admin UI login support for Kerberos (janhoy, Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-12770: Make it possible to configure a host whitelist for distributed search


(Christine Poerschke, janhoy, Erick Erickson, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-12373: Add a "tombstoneConfig" option to DocBasedVersionConstraintsProcessor


that allows
users to configure which fields/values to add to tombstone documents. This can be
useful to
make sure tombstone documents include fields that are marked as required in the
schema
(Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-12984: The search Streaming Expression should properly support and push down
paging
when using the /select handler (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-13088: Add zplot Stream Evaluator to plot math expressions in Apache


Zeppelin (Joel Bernstein)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-12546: CVSResponseWriter omits useDocValuesAsStored=true field when fl=*


(Munendra S N via Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-12933: Fix SolrCloud distributed commit. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-13014: URI Too Long with large streaming expressions in SolrJ (janhoy)

* SOLR-13066: A failure while reloading a SolrCore can result in the SolrCore not
being closed. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-11296: Spellcheck parameters not working in new UI (Matt Pearce via janhoy)

* SOLR-10975: New Admin UI Query does not URL-encode the query produced in the URL
box (janhoy)

* SOLR-13072: Management of markers for nodeLost / nodeAdded events is broken. This


bug could have caused
some events to be lost if they coincided with an Overseer leader crash. (ab)

* SOLR-13080: The "terms" QParser's "automaton" method semi-required that the input
terms/IDs be sorted. This
query parser now does this. Unclear if this is a perf issue or actual bug.
(Daniel Lowe, David Smiley)

* SOLR-13082: A trigger that creates trigger events more frequently than the cool
down period can starve other triggers.
This is mitigated to some extent by randomly choosing the trigger to resume after
cool down. It is recommended that
scheduled triggers not be used for very frequent operations to avoid this
problem.
(ab, shalin)

* SOLR-12514: Rule-base Authorization plugin skips authorization if querying node


does not have collection replica (noble)

* SOLR-11853: Solr installer fails on SuSE linux (Markus Mandalka via janhoy)

Improvements
----------------------

* SOLR-12881: Remove unneeded import statements (Peter Somogyi via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-12992: When using binary format, ExportWriter to directly copy BytesRef


instead of
creating new String (noble)

* SOLR-12898: Replace cluster state polling with ZkStateReader#waitFor. (Mark


Miller)

* SOLR-12897: Introduce AlreadyClosedException to clean up silly close / shutdown


logging. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-12896: Introduce more checks for shutdown and closed to improve clean close
and shutdown. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-12804: Remove static modifier from Overseer queue access. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-12833: Add configurable timeout to VersionBucket lock. (Jeffery Yuan, Mark


Miller)

* SOLR-12885: BinaryResponseWriter (javabin format) should directly copy from


BytesRef to output (noble)

* SOLR-12973: Admin UI "Nodes" view support for replica* replica names. (Daniel
Collins, Christine Poerschke, janhoy)

* SOLR-13090: All shipped configurations still have `maxBooleanClauses` default to


1024. But if the
`solr.max.booleanClauses` sysprop is specified, that will override the 1024
default. This enables users to
update this property across the board more easily. (Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-12983: JavabinLoader should avoid creating String Objects and create


UTF8CharSequence fields from byte[] (noble)

* SOLR-13016: Computing suggestions when policy have "#EQUAL" or "#ALL" rules take
too long (noble)

* SOLR-13029: solr.hdfs.buffer.size can be configured for HdfsBackupRepository for


better performance (Tim Owen via Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-13156: support facet.sort for facet.field={!terms=foo,bar}field. (Konstantin


Perikov via Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-13146: Allow derivatives to be computed for the oscillate Stream Evaluator


(Joel Bernstein)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-12972: deprecate unused SolrIndexConfig.luceneVersion (Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-12801: Make massive improvements to the tests. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-12923: The new AutoScaling tests are way too flaky and need special
attention. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-12932: ant test (without badapples=false) should pass easily for developers.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-13036: Fix retry logic in JettySolrRunner (Gus Heck)

* SOLR-12727: Upgrade ZooKeeper dependency to 3.4.13 (Kevin Risden, Erick Erickson,


Cao Manh Dat)

release.

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.19.1
Carrot2 3.16.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.11
Jetty 9.4.11.v20180605

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* SOLR-12767: The min_rf parameter is no longer needed, Solr will always return the
achieved replication factor (rf)
in the response header.

* SOLR-12827: The cluster wide defaults structure has changed from


{collectionDefaults: {nrtReplicas : 2}} to
{defaults : {collection : {nrtReplicas : 2}}}. The old format continues to be
supported and can be read from
ZK as well as written using the V2 set-obj-property syntax but it is deprecated
and will be removed in Solr 9.
We recommend that users change their API calls to use the new format going
forward.

* SOLR-12739: Autoscaling policy framework is now used as the default strategy to


select the nodes on which
new replicas or replicas of new collections are created. Previously, the
maxShardsPerNode parameter was not allowed
on collections when autoscaling policy was configured. Also if an autoscaling
policy was configured then the default
was to set an unlimited maxShardsPerNode automatically. Now the maxShardsPerNode
parameter is always
allowed during collection creation and maxShardsPerNode should be set correctly
(if required) regardless of whether
autoscaling policies are in effect or not. The default value of maxShardsPerNode
continues to be 1 as before. It can
be set to -1 during collection creation to fall back to the old behavior of
unlimited maxShardsPerNode when using
autoscaling policy.

* SOLR-12861: Added a Solr factory for ByteBuffersDirectory, which will replace


deprecated RAMDirectory in Solr 9.0.

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-6280: {!collapse}: if you attempt to use CollapseQParser on a field that is


multi-valued, you will now get an
error. Previously, the collapsing behavior was unreliable and undefined despite
no explicit error.
(Munendra S N, David Smiley)

* SOLR-9317: ADDREPLICA command should be able to add more than one replica to a
collection,shard at a time.
The API now supports 'nrtReplicas', 'tlogReplicas', 'pullReplicas' parameters as
well 'createNodeSet' parameter.
As part of this change, the CREATESHARD API now delegates placing replicas
entirely to the ADDREPLICA command
and uses the new parameters to add all the replicas in one API call. (shalin)

* SOLR-11522: /autoscaling/suggestions now include rebalance options as well even


if there are no violations (noble)

* SOLR-12822: /autoscaling/suggestions to include suggestion to add-replica for


lost replicas (noble)

* SOLR-12815: Implement maxOps limit for IndexSizeTrigger. (ab)

* SOLR-12843: Implement a MultiContentWriter in SolrJ to post multiple


files/payload at once (noble)

* SOLR-12780: Add support for Leaky ReLU and TanH activations in contrib/ltr
NeuralNetworkModel class.
(Kamuela Lau, Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-12846: Added support for "host" variable in autoscaling policy rules (noble)

* SOLR-5004: Splitshard collections API now supports splitting into more than 2
sub-shards directly i.e. by providing a
numSubShards parameter (Christine Poerschke, Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-12754: The UnifiedHighlighter has a new hl.weightMatches param defaulting to


false (will be true in 8.0). It's
the highest query accuracy mode, and furthermore phrase queries are highlighted
as one. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-12828: Add oscillate Stream Evaluator to support sine wave analysis. (Joel
Bernstein)

* SOLR-11907: Add convexHull and associated geometric Stream Evaluators. (Joel


Bernstein)
* SOLR-12811: Add enclosingDisk and associated geometric Stream Evaluators. (Joel
Bernstein)

* SOLR-12840: Add pairSort Stream Evaluator (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-12862: Add log10 Stream Evaluator and allow the pow Stream Evaluator to
accept a vector of exponents (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-12942: Add an option in IndexSizeTrigger to select the split shard method.


(ab)

* SOLR-12938: Cluster Status returns results for aliases, instead of throwing


exceptions (Gus Heck)

* SOLR-11997: Suggestions API/UI should show an entry where a violation could not
be resolved (noble)

* SOLR-12971: Add pivot Stream Evaluator to pivot facet co-occurrence counts into a
matrix (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-12795: Introduce 'rows' and 'offset' parameter in FacetStream (Joel


Bernstein, Amrit Sarkar, Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-11572: Add recip Stream Evaluator to support reciprocal transformations


(Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-12936: Allow percentiles Stream Evaluator to accept an array of percentiles


to calculate (Joel bernstein)

* SOLR-12829: Add plist (parallel list) Streaming Expression (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-12975: Add ltrim and rtrim Stream Evaluators (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-12962: Added a new 'uninvertible' option for fields and fieldtypes. This
defaults to 'true' for
backcompat allowing a FieldCache to be built for indexed fields as needed, but
users are encouraged
to set this to false (using docValues as needed) to reduce the risk of large
fluxuations in heap
size due to unexpected attempts to sort/facet/function on non-docValue fields.
(hossman)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-12762: Fix javadoc for SolrCloudTestCase.clusterShape() method and add a


method that validates only against
Active slices (Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-12756: Refactor Assign and extract replica placement strategies out of it.
Now, assignment is done with the help
of a builder class instead of calling a method with large number of arguments.
The number of special cases that had
to be handled have been cut down as well. (shalin)

* SOLR-12827: Migrate cluster wide defaults syntax in cluster properties to a


nested structure. The structure has
changed from {collectionDefaults: {nrtReplicas : 2}} to {defaults : {collection :
{nrtReplicas : 2}}}.
(ab, shalin)

* SOLR-12835: Document statistics exposed by the Query Result Cache when maxRamMB
is configured. (shalin)

* SOLR-12423: Upgrade to Tika 1.19.1 when available (Tim Allison via Erick
Erickson)

* SOLR-12793: Move TestCloudJSONFacetJoinDomain and TestCloudJSONFacetSKG to the


facet test package (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-12861: Add Solr factory for ByteBuffersDirectory.

* SOLR-12746: Simplify the Ref Guide HTML structure and use semantic HTML tags
where possible. Adds new template files
for Asciidoctor HTML conversion. Building the HTML version now requires the Slim
gem. (Cassandra Targett)

* SOLR-12956: Add Javadoc @since tag to Analyzer component classes (Alexandre


Rafalovitch)

* SOLR-12966: Add Javadoc @since tag to URP classes (Alexandre Rafalovitch)

* SOLR-12600: Fix parameter names in Solr JSON documentation (Alexandre


Rafalovitch)

* SOLR-12497: Add documentation to use Hadoop credential provider-based


keystore/trustsore.
(Mano Kovacs, Cassandra Targett)

* SOLR-13006: ZkNodeProps to be able to load from both javabin and JSON (noble)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-12803: Ensure ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient sends documents to correct


collection (Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-11836: FacetStream works with bucketSizeLimit of -1 which will fetch all the
buckets.
(Alfonso Muñoz-Pomer Fuentes, Amrit Sarkar via Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-12776: Setting of TMP in solr.cmd causes invisibility of Solr to JDK tools


(Petr Bodnar via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-12648: Autoscaling framework based replica placement is not used unless a


policy is specified or
non-empty cluster policy exists. (shalin)

* SOLR-12750: Migrate API should lock the collection instead of shard. (shalin)

* SOLR-12767: When using min_rf, shard leader skipped bad replicas instead of
marking them for recovery, this could
create inconsistencies between replicas of the same shard. min_rf parameter is
now deprecated, and even if provided
replicas that don't ack an update from the leader will be marked for recovery.
(Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
* SOLR-12814: Metrics history causing "HttpParser URI is too large >8192" when many
collections (janhoy)

* SOLR-12836: ZkController creates a cloud solr client with no connection or read


timeouts. Now the http client
created by the update shard handler is used instead. (shalin)

* SOLR-12729: SplitShardCmd should lock the parent shard to prevent parallel


splitting requests. (ab)

* SOLR-12851: Improvements and fixes to let and select Streaming Expressions (Joel
Bernstein)

* SOLR-12874: Java 9+ GC Logging filesize parameter should use a unit. (Tim


Underwood via Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-12868: Request forwarding for v2 API is broken (noble)

* SOLR-7557: Fix parsing of child documents using queryAndStreamResponse (Marvin


Bredal Lillehaug/Stian Østerhaug via janhoy)

* SOLR-12875: fix ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when unique(field) or


uniqueBlock(_root_) is
used with DVHASH method in json.facet. (Tim Underwood via Mikhail Khludnev)

facet.mincount>1 (hossman)

* SOLR-12023: Autoscaling policy engine shuffles replicas needlessly (noble)

* SOLR-12243: Edismax missing phrase queries when phrases contain multiterm


synonyms
(Elizabeth Haubert, Alessandro Benedetti, Uwe Schindler, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-12977: Autoscaling tries to fetch metrics from dead nodes (noble)

* SOLR-12978: In autoscaling NPE thrown for nodes where value is absent (noble)

Improvements
----------------------

* SOLR-12767: Solr now always includes in the response of update requests the
achieved replication factor
(Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-12782: UninvertingReader wrapping is now a bit more lightweight: Does not


create FieldInfo for fields that
can't be uninverted (saves mem) and can avoid wrapping the reader altogether if
there's nothing to uninvert.
IndexSchema.getUninversionMap refactored to getUninversionMapper and no longer
merges FieldInfos. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-12739: Make autoscaling policy based replica placement the default strategy
for placing replicas. (shalin)

* SOLR-12806: use autoscaling policies with strict=false to prioritize node


allocation (noble)

* SOLR-10981: Support for stream.url or stream.file pointing to gzipped data. It's


detected by either a content
encoding header or file extension. (Andrew Lundgren via David Smiley, Jan
Høydahl)

* SOLR-12892: MapWriter to use CharSequence instead of String (noble)

* SOLR-12882: Eliminate excessive lambda allocation in json facets


FacetFieldProcessorByHashDV (Tim Underwood)

* SOLR-12699: Make contrib/ltr LTRScoringModel immutable and cache its hashCode.


(Stanislav Livotov, Edward Ribeiro, Christine Poerschke)

* LUCENE-8557: Some internal LeafReader.getFieldInfos implementations were being


re-computed on-demand instead of
once up front leading to some slowdowns in places like JSON Facets and field
collapsing. (Tim Underwood, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12964: Json Facets: use DocValuesIterator advanceExact() instead of


advance() in FacetFieldProcessorByHashDV and
UniqueSinglevaluedSlotAcc. (Tim Underwood)

* SOLR-12880: Json Facets: Show the FacetProcessor class name instead of the
FacetRequest in the JSON Facets debug-trace
output (Tim Underwood)

Carrot2 3.16.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.11
Jetty 9.4.11.v20180605

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* The data-driven schema no longer returns the *_str field-copy of text fields by
default. The *_str field is still
created and can be used for e.g. sorting, but to retrieve it you now need to
explicitly list it in "fl" (SOLR-12350)

* LUCENE-7976: TieredMergePolicy now respects maxSegmentSizeMB by default when


executing
findForcedMerges (optimize) and findForcedDeletesMerges (expungeDeletes) (Erick
Erickson)

* SOLR-12395: SignificantTermsQParserPlugin's name is now 'significantTerms' and


its old name 'sigificantTerms' is deprecated.

* SOLR-11694: Extremely outdated UIMA contrib module has been removed (Alexandre
Rafalovitch)

* SOLR-12008: The configuration file for log4j2.xml is now in


../server/resources/log4j2.xml. All other copies have been removed.
WINDOWS USERS: This JIRA corrects a bug in the start scripts that put example
logs under ...\server, solr.log is
now under ...\example. (Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-12398: The heatmap facet response structure, when returned in JSON, changed
from an even/odd name/value array to
an object style. Although the object style makes more sense, this was an
overlooked back-compat break; sorry.

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-11865: The QueryElevationComponent now has a useConfiguredElevatedOrder


setting. When multiple docs are elevated,
this specifies whether their relative order should be the order in the
configuration file or if not then should they
be subject to whatever the sort criteria is. Additionally, QEC was extensively
refactored to be more extensible.
(Bruno Roustant, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12474: Add an UpdateRequest Object that implements


RequestWriter.ContentWriter (noble)

* SOLR-12361: Allow nested child documents to be in field values of a


SolrInputDocument as an alternative to
add/get ChildDocuments off to the side. The latter is now referred to as
"anonymous" child documents as opposed to
"labelled" (by the field name). Anonymous child docs might be deprecated in the
future. This is an internal change
that should work for javabin/SolrJ; separate issues will address XML & JSON
formats populating nested docs in this way.
AddUpdateCommand and it's relationship with DirectUpdateHandler2 was reworked
substantially. (Moshe Bla, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12362: Uploading docs in JSON now supports child documents as field values,
thus providing a label to the
relationship instead of the current "anonymous" relationship. Use of this
experimental feature sometimes requires a
anonChildDocs=false parameter until Solr 8 due to syntax ambiguities. (Moshe
Bla, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12485: Uploading docs in XML now supports child documents as field values,
thus providing a label to the
relationship instead of the current "anonymous" relationship. (Moshe Bla, David
Smiley)

* SOLR-12441: (EXPERIMENTAL) New NestedUpdateProcessorFactory (URP) to populate


special fields _nest_parent_ and
_nest_path_ of nested (child) documents. It will generate a uniqueKey of nested
docs if they were blank too.
(Moshe Bla, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12519: The [child] transformer now returns a nested child doc structure
(attached as fields if provided this way)
provided the schema has the _nest_path_ field. This is part of a broader
enhancement of nested docs.
(Moshe Bla, David Smiley)
* SOLR-12722: The [child] transformer now takes an 'fl' param to specify which

behavior of all fields, but in 8.0
defaults to the top/request "fl". (Moshe Bla, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12581: the JSON Facet 'relatedness()' aggregate function now supports a


'min_popularity' option
using the extended type:func syntax (hossman)

co-located with another collection during collection creation time by specifying
a 'withCollection' parameter. It can
also be co-located afterwards by using the modify collection API. The co-location
guarantee is enforced regardless of
future cluster operations whether they are invoked manually via the Collection
API or by the Autoscaling framework.
(noble, shalin)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-12449: Response /autoscaling/diagnostics shows improper json (noble)

* SOLR-11676: Keep nrtReplicas and replicationFactor in sync while creating a


collection and modifying a collection
(Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-12489: User specified replicationFactor and maxShardsPerNode is used when


specified during a restore operation.
A user can now specify nrtReplicas/tlogReplicas/pullReplicas while restoring the
collection.
Specifying replicationFactor or nrtReplicas have the same effect and only one can
be specified (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-11216: Race condition in PeerSync (Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-11807: Restoring collection now treats maxShardsPerNode=-1 as unlimited


(Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-12413: If Zookeeper was pre-loaded with data before first-use, then the
aliases information would be ignored.
(David Smiley, Gaël Jourdan, Gus Heck)

* SOLR-12482: Config API returns status 0 for failed operations. (Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-12513: Reproducing TestCodecSupport.testMixedCompressionMode failure (Erick


Erickson)

* SOLR-11665: Improve error handling of shard splitting. Fix splitting of mixed


replica types. (ab)

* SOLR-12326: JSON Facet API: terms facet shard requests now indicate if they have
more buckets to prevent
unnecessary refinement requests. (yonk)

* SOLR-12427: Improve error message for invalid 'start', 'rows' parameters.


(Munendra S N via Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-12395: Make 'significantTerms' the SignificantTermsQParserPlugin's name and

combined with non
default values for the 'other' and 'include' options. (hossman)
* SOLR-12343: Fixed a bug in JSON Faceting that could cause incorrect counts/stats
when using non default
sort options. This also adds a new configurable "overrefine" option. (Yonik
Seeley, hossman)

* SOLR-12553: Allow SignificantTerms Query Parser to use local parameters

Thacker)

* SOLR-12606: Fix InfixSuggestersTest.testShutdownDuringBuild() failures. (Steve


Rowe)

* SOLR-12607: Fixed two separate bugs in shard splits which can cause data loss.
The first case is when using TLOG
replicas only, the updates forwarded from parent shard leader to the sub-shard
leader are written only in tlog and
not the index. If this happens after the buffered updates have been replayed then
the updates can never be executed
even though they remain the transaction log. The second case is when
synchronously forwarding updates to sub-shard
leader fails and the underlying errors are not propagated to the client. (Cao
Manh Dat, shalin)

* SOLR-12344: SolrSlf4jReporter doesn't set MDC context. (ab)

* SOLR-12594: MetricsHistoryHandler.getOverseerLeader fails when hostname contains


hyphen. (ab)

* SOLR-12615: HashQParserPlugin will no longer throw an NPE if the hash key field
is a string when there are documents
with empty values. All documents with empty values ( string , numeric ) will be
processed by worker=0
This would fix the NPE when using the search stream with partitionKeys. (Varun
Thacker)

* SOLR-11770: NPE in tvrh if no field is specified and document doesn't contain any
fields with term vectors

* SOLR-12541: Metrics handler throws an error if there are transient cores. (ab)

* SOLR-12470: Search Rate Trigger multiple bug fixes, improvements and


documentation updates. (ab)

* SOLR-12649: CloudSolrClient retries requests unnecessarily exception from server
(noble, shalin)

* SOLR-12670: RecoveryStrategy logs wrong wait time when retrying recovery.


(shalin)

* SOLR-12668: Autoscaling trigger listeners should be executed in the order of


their creation. (ab)

* SOLR-12475: Fix MaxSizeAutoCommitTest failures (Rupa Shankar, Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-12674: RollupStream should not use the HashQueryParser for 1 worker. (Varun
Thacker)

* SOLR-12679: MiniSolrCloudCluster internal jetty list should never have duplicates


(shalin)

* SOLR-12598: Do not fetch non-stored fields (Nikolay Khitrin, Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-12683: HashQuery will throw an exception if more than 4 partitionKeys is


specified.
Earlier after the 4th partitionKey the keys would be silently ignored. (Varun
Thacker)

* SOLR-10028: Fix and improvements to SegmentsInfoRequestHandlerTest (Christine


Poerschke, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

configset (janhoy)

* SOLR-12455: Refactor JSON serialization code into SolrJ package (noble)

* SOLR-11654: Time Routed Alias will now route documents to the ideal shard of a
collection, thus avoiding a hop.
Usually documents were already routed well but not always. (Gus Heck, David
Smiley)

* SOLR-11598: The export handler does not limit users to 4 sort fields and is now
unlimited. However the speed at
which we can export is directly proportional to the number of sort fields
specified. This change also allows streaming
expressions to group by on more than 4 fields. (Aroop Ganguly, Amrit Sarkar,
Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-12305: When a replica is applying updates, some kind of updates can skip
buffering for faster recovery.
(Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-12509: Improve SplitShardCmd performance and reliability. A new method of


splitting has been
introduced (splitMethod=link) which uses hard-linking of index files when
possible, resulting in
significant speedups and reduced CPU / IO load on shard leader. (ab)

* SOLR-11881: Retry update requests sent by leaders to it's followers (Varun


Thacker, Mark Miller, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-12616: Optimize Export writer upto 4 sort fields to get better performance.
This was removed in SOLR-11598 but brought back in the same version (Amrit
Sarkar, Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-12572: While exporting documents using the export writer, if a field is


specified as a sort parameter and also
in the fl (field list) parameter, we save on one doc-value lookup. This can bring
performance improvements of 15%
and upwards depending on how many fields are in common. (Amrit Sarkar, Varun
Thacker)

* SOLR-10697: HttpShardHandler now uses a default of 100k as maxConnections (10k


previously) and default
maxConnectionsPerHost as 100k (20 previously). They are now consisent with the
UpdateShardHandler defaults.
(Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-12723: Reduce object creation in HashBasedRouter. (ab)

* SOLR-12766: When retrying internal requests, backoff only once for the full batch
of retries (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

before the test starts (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-11766: Move Streaming Expressions section in Ref Guide to be a top-level


section. (Cassandra Targett)

* SOLR-12656: ShardSplitTest should extend AbstractFullDistribZkTestBase instead of


BasicDistributedZkTest. (shalin)

* SOLR-12014: Cryptic error message when creating a collection with sharding that
violates autoscaling policies (noble)

* SOLR-12680: Fix ClassCastException and AIOOBE in TestSolrConfigHandlerConcurrent.


(shalin)

* SOLR-12675: Make LeaderVoteWaitTimeoutTest more resilient against side effects of


test methods. (shalin)

* SOLR-12130: CdcrReplicationDistributedZkTest is broken into two test classes,


CdcrOpsAndBoundariesTest which does
not require node restarts and CdcrWithNodesRestartsTest which does. The tests
themselves are made faster and more
resilient to spurious failures. (Varun Thacker, Amrit Sarkar via shalin)

* SOLR-12625: Combine SolrDocumentFetcher and RetrieveFieldsOptimizer (Erick


Erickson)

* SOLR-12690: Regularize LoggerFactory declarations (Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-12590: Improve Solr resource loader coverage in the ref guide.

================== 7.4.0 ==================


Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this
release.

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.17
Carrot2 3.16.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.11
Jetty 9.4.10.v20180503

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* SOLR-7887: Solr now uses Log4J 2.11 . The log4j configuration is now in
log4j2.xml rather than log4j.properties files.
This is a server side change only and clients using SolrJ won't need any changes.
Clients can still use any logging
implementation which is compatible with SLF4J. We now let log4j2 handle rotation
of solr logs at startup, and bin/solr
start scripts will no longer attempt this nor move existing console or GC logs
into logs/archived either (SOLR-12144).

* SOLR-11673: Slave doesn't commit empty index when completely new index is
detected on master during replication.
To return the previous behavior pass false to skipCommitOnLeaderVersionZero in
slave section of replication
handler configuration, or pass it to the fetchindex command.

* SOLR-11453: Configuring slowQueryThresholdMillis now logs slow requests to a


separate file - solr_slow_requests.log.
Previously they would get logged in the solr.log file.

janhoy)

* SOLR-11779, SOLR-12438: Basic long-term collection of aggregated metrics.


Historical data is
maintained as multi-resolution time series using round-robin databases in the
'.system'
collection. New /admin/metrics/history API allows retrieval of this data in
numeric
or graph formats. (ab)

closing prevention code for users
and devs. (Mark Miller, janhoy, Andrzej Bialecki)

* SOLR-12293: Updates need to use their own connection pool to maintain connection
reuse and prevent spurious
recoveries. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-12308: LISTALIASES is now assured to return an up-to-date response. Also,


the test utility
MiniSolrCloudCluster.deleteAllCollections will now first delete aliases since a
collection cannot be deleted if an
alias refers to it. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-12192: Fixed a solr cli error message when ulimits are unlimited. (Martijn
Koster)

* SOLR-12258: A V2 request referencing a collection or alias may fail to resolve it


if it was just recently created.
Now we sync with ZooKeeper and try one more time. V1 partially did this but only
for aliases; now it does both.
(David Smiley)

* SOLR-12170: JSON Facet API: Terms facet on a date field sometimes failed with an
exception complaining
about "Invalid Date String". (yonik)

* SOLR-12307: exiting OverseerTriggerThread without endless noise in log when


Zookeeper session is expired
(Mikhail Khludnev)

prefix creation.
(Josh Lucas via shalin)

* SOLR-12294: update processors loaded from runtime jars fail to load if they are
specified
in an update processor chain (noble)

closing prevention code for users
and devs. (Mark Miller)

it's not clear in practice when.
(David Smiley)

* SOLR-12417: velocity response writer should enforce valid function name for
v.json parameter (Mano Kovacs, yonik)

* SOLR-12271: Fixed bug in how Analytics component reads negative values from float
and double fields. (Houston Putman)

* SOLR-12433: Recovering flag of a replica is set equals to leader even it failed


to receive update
on recovering. (Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-12354: Register the /admin/info/key end-point at the startup time to avoid


404 (noble)

* SOLR-12434: bin/solr {config,healthcheck} ignore ZK_HOST in solr.in.{sh,cmd}


(Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-12481: update.autoCreateFields must be set via Config API command 'set-user-


property',
but 'bin/solr create' tells users to use the default action 'set-property', which
fails
because the property is not editable. (Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-12416: When creating a time routed alias, the router.autoDeleteAge option


wasn't considered.
(Joachim Sauer via David Smiley)

* SOLR-12450: Don't allow referal to external resources in various config files


(CVE-2018-8026).
(Yuyang Xiao, Uwe Schindler)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-11920: IndexFetcher now fetches only those files (from master/leader) that
are different. This
differential fetching now speeds up recovery times when full index replication is
needed, but only
a few segments diverge. (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Shaun Sabo, John Gallagher)

* SOLR-11731: LatLonPointSpatialField can now decode points from docValues when


stored=false docValues=true,
albeit with maximum precision of 1.37cm (Karthik Ramachandran, David Smiley)

* SOLR-11891: DocStreamer now respects the ReturnFields when populating a


SolrDocument, reducing the
number of unneccessary fields a ResponseWriter will see if documentCache is used
(wei wang, hossman)

* SOLR-12312: Replication IndexFetcher should cap its internal buffer size when the
file being transferred is small.
(Jeff Miller, David Smiley)

(David Smiley via Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-11880: Avoid creating new exceptions for every request made to


MDCAwareThreadPoolExecutor by distributed
search and update operations. (Varun Thacker, shalin)

* SOLR-12375: Optimize Lucene ScoreMode use:


A non-cached filter query could be told incorrectly that scores were needed.
The /export (ExportQParserPlugin) would declare incorrectly that scores are
needed.
Expanded docs (expand component) could be told incorrectly that scores are
needed. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-12338: Replay buffering tlog in parallel. (Cao Manh Dat, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12366: A slow "live docs" implementation was being used instead of a bitset.
Affects classic faceting
enum method, JSON Facets enum method, UnInvertedField faceting,
GraphTermsQParser, JoinQParser. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-12337: Remove the obsolete QueryWrapperFilter intermediate wrapper, which


also removed some needless uses of
SolrConstantScoreQuery as well. QWF since v5.4.0 sometimes needlessly internally
executed and cached the query.
Affects ExpandComponent, ChildDocTransformer, CurrencyFieldType, TermsQParser.
(David Smiley)

* SOLR-9922: Write buffering updates to another tlog. (Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-12233: QParserPlugin's built-in static registry now holds actual


QParserPlugin instances instead of class
references. This is consistent with other plugin registries and allows a
SolrCore to load faster.
(Jeff Miller, David Smiley)

* SOLR-12198: Stream Evaluators should not copy matrices needlessly (Joel


Bernstein)

Other Changes

server from Eclipse.
Also being able to run all Lucene and Solr tests as a configuration (Karthik
Ramachandran via
Varun Thacker, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-12252: Fix minor compiler and intellij warnings in autoscaling policy


framework. (shalin)

* SOLR-11914: The following SolrParams methods are now deprecated: toSolrParams


(use NamedList.toSolrParams instead),
toMap, toMultiMap, toFilteredSolrParams, getAll. The latter ones have no direct
replacement but are easy to
implement yourself as-needed. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-10036: Upgrade jackson from 2.5.4 to 2.9.5 (Shashank Pedamallu, Shawn


Heisey, Varun Thacker)

release.

Versions of Major Components

Carrot2 3.15.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.11
Jetty 9.4.8.v20171121

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* SOLR-11748: The throttling mechanism used to limit the rate of autoscaling events
processed
has been removed. This deprecates the 'actionThrottlePeriodSeconds' setting in
the set-properties
Autoscaling API which is now a no-op. Use the 'triggerCooldownPeriodSeconds'
instead to pause event
processing.

* SOLR-11798: The top-level <highlighting> syntax in solrconfig.xml is now formally


deprecated in favour of <searchComponent> equivalent syntax. See also SOLR-1696.

* SOLR-11809: QueryComponent's rq parameter parsing no longer considers the defType


parameter.

* SOLR-11747: The behaviour of the autoscaling system has been modified to pause
all triggers from execution between
the start of actions and end of cool down period. The triggers will be resumed
after the cool down period expires.
Previously, the cool down period was a fixed period started after actions for a
trigger event complete and during
this time, all triggers continued to run but any events were rejected to be tried
later.

* SOLR-11624: Collections created without specifying a configset name use a copy of


the _default configset since 7.0.
Before 7.3, the copied over configset was named the same as the collection name,
but 7.3 onwards it will be named
with an additional ".AUTOCREATED" suffix.

* SOLR-11702: The old Leader-In-Recovery implementation (SOLR-5495) is now


deprecated and replaced. Solr will support
rolling upgrades from old 7.x versions of Solr to future 7.x releases until the
last release of
the 7.x major version. This means in order to upgrade to Solr 8 in the future,
you must be on Solr 7.3 or higher.

* LUCENE-8161: If you are using the spatial JTS library with Solr, you must upgrade
to 1.15.0. This new version
of JTS is now dual-licensed to include a BSD style license.

* SOLR-12051: A new mechanism is introduced in SOLR-11702 to maintain consistency


in SolrCloud between leader and replicas.
This mechanism lets Solr know whether a replica is in-sync with the leader or
not, even when the leader is not live.
If all the replicas who participate in the leader election are out-of-sync with
previous leader, the election will
pause until a timeout (named "leaderVoteWait") before allowing an out-of-sync
replica to become leader. Note that the
new leader still needs to contains more updates than any other active replicas in
the same shard. Therefore by
increasing leaderVoteWait will increase the consistency (over availability) of
the system. The default value of
leaderVoteWait is 180,000 ms (3 minutes) and it can be adjusted in the
"solrcloud" section of the solr.xml

* SOLR-11957: The default Solr log file size and number of backups is raised to
32MB and 10 respectively

* SOLR-12067: The default value of `autoReplicaFailoverWaitAfterExpiration` has


been increased to 120 seconds
from the earlier default of 30 seconds. This affects how soon Solr adds new
replicas to replace the replicas
on nodes which have either crashed or shutdown.

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-11285: Simulation framework for autoscaling. (ab)

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* SOLR-11501: Starting a query string with local-params {!myparser ...} is used to


switch the query parser to another,
and is intended for use by Solr system developers, not end users doing searches.
To reduce negative side-effects of
unintended hack-ability, we've limited the cases that local-params will be parsed
to only contexts in which the
default parser is "lucene" or "func".
So if defType=edismax then q={!myparser ...} won't work. In that example, put
the desired query parser into defType.
Another example is if deftype=edismax then hl.q={!myparser ...} won't work for
the same reason. In that example,
either put the desired query parser into hl.qparser or set hl.qparser=lucene.
Most users won't run into these cases
but some will and must change.
If you must have full backwards compatibility, use luceneMatchVersion=7.1.0 or
something earlier. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-11501: The edismax parser by default no longer allows subqueries that


specify a Solr parser using either
local-params, or the older _query_ magic field trick. For example
{!prefix f=myfield v=enterp} or _query_:"{!prefix f=myfield v=enterp}" are
not supported by default anymore.
If you want to allow power-users to do this, set uf=* _query_ or some other value
that includes _query_.
If you must have full backwards compatibility, use luceneMatchVersion=7.1.0 or
something earlier. (David Smiley)

Detailed Change List


----------------------

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* 'autoAddReplicas' feature is ported to autoscaling framework. Existing users of


this feature should not have
to change anything. Note these changes:
1. Behaviour: Changing the autoAddReplicas property from disabled to enabled
using MODIFYCOLLECTION API
no longer replaces down replicas for the collection immediately. Instead,
replicas are only added
if a node containing them went down while autoAddReplicas was enabled. The params
autoReplicaFailoverBadNodeExpiration and autoReplicaFailoverWorkLoopDelay are no
longer used.
2. Deprecations: Enabling/disabling autoAddReplicas cluster wide with the API
will be deprecated; use
suspend/resume trigger APIs with name='.auto_add_replicas' instead.

* SOLR-11195: shard and cluster metric reporter configuration now requires a class
attribute.
If a reporter configures the group="shard" attribute then please also configure
the
class="org.apache.solr.metrics.reporters.solr.SolrShardReporter" attribute.
If a reporter configures the group="cluster" attribute then please also configure
the
class="org.apache.solr.metrics.reporters.solr.SolrClusterReporter" attribute.

* SOLR-11254: the abstract DocTransformer class now has an abstract score-less


transform method variant.

* SOLR-11283: all Stream Evaluators in solrj.io.eval have been refactored to have a


simplier and more
robust structure. This simplifies and condenses the code required to implement a
new Evaluator and
makes it much easier for evaluators to handle differing data types (primitives,
objects, arrays,
lists, and so forth). (Dennis Gove)

* SOLR-10962: in the ReplicationHandler the master.commitReserveDuration sub-


element is deprecated. Instead
please configure a direct commitReserveDuration element for use in all modes
(master, slave, cloud).

* SOLR-11482: RunExecutableListener was removed for security reasons. If you want


to listen to
events caused by updates, commits, or optimize, write your own listener as native
Java class
as part of a Solr plugin.

* SOLR-11477: in the XML query parser (defType=xmlparser or {!xmlparser ... })


the resolving of external entities is now disallowed by default.

(noble)

* SOLR-11199: Payloads supports an "operator" param. Supported operators are 'or',


"phrase" ( default ).
A new "sum" function is also added. Example :
{!payload_score f=payload_field func=sum operator=or}A B C" (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-11215: Make a metric accessible through a single param. (ab)

* SOLR-11244: Query DSL for Solr (Cao Manh Dat)

valued date fields.

Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.10
Jetty 9.3.14.v20161028

Upgrading from Solr 6.x


----------------------

* All Trie* numeric and date field types have been deprecated in favor of *Point
field types.
Point field types are better at range queries (speed, memory, disk), however
simple field:value queries underperform
relative to Trie. Either accept this, or continue to use Trie fields.
This shortcoming may be addressed in a future release.
* The default response type is now JSON ("wt=json") instead of XML, and line
indentation is now on by default
("indent=on"). If you expect the responses to your queries to be returned in the
previous format (XML
format, no indentation), you must now you must now explicitly pass in "wt=xml"
and "indent=off" as query
parameters, or configure them as defaults on your request handlers. See SOLR-
10494 for more details.

* the cluster property 'legacyCloud' is set to false from 7.0. This means
'zookeeper is the truth' by
default. If an entry for a replica does not exist in the state.json, that replica
cannot get
registered. This may affect users who use that feature where they bring up
replicas and they are
automatically registered as a part of a shard. However, it is possible to fall
back to the old behavior by
setting the property legacyCloud=true , in the cluster properties using the
following command

./server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh -zkhost 127.0.0.1:2181 -cmd clusterprop


-name legacyCloud -val true

* HttpClientInterceptorPlugin is now HttpClientBuilderPlugin and must work with a


SolrHttpClientBuilder rather than an HttpClientConfigurer.

* HttpClientUtil now allows configuring HttpClient instances via


SolrHttpClientBuilder
rather than an HttpClientConfigurer. Use of env variable
SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT_CONFIGURER
no longer works, please use SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT_BUILDER

* SolrClient implementations now use their own internal configuration for socket
timeouts,
connect timeouts, and allowing redirects rather than what is set as the default
when
building the HttpClient instance. Use the appropriate setters on the SolrClient
instance.

* HttpSolrClient#setAllowCompression has been removed and compression must be


enabled as
a constructor param.

* HttpSolrClient#setDefaultMaxConnectionsPerHost and
HttpSolrClient#setMaxTotalConnections have been removed. These now default very
high and can only be changed via param when creating an HttpClient instance.

* Query time join with scoring {!join score=none} (even none) doesn't handle single
value numeric fields.
Users are advised to convert these fields into string and reindex.

* Deprecated collection and configset methods on MiniSolrCloudCluster have been


removed

* Index-time boosts are not supported anymore. If any boosts are provided, they
will be ignored by the indexing chain. As a replacement, index-time scoring
factors should be indexed in a separate field and combined with the query
score using a function query.
* Deprecated method getNumericType() has been removed from FieldType. Use
getNumberType() instead

* MBean names and attributes now follow hierarchical names used in metrics. This is
reflected also in
/admin/mbeans and /admin/plugins output, and can be observed in the UI Plugins
tab, because now all these
APIs get their data from the metrics API. The old (mostly flat) JMX view has been
removed.

* <jmx> element in solrconfig.xml is no longer supported. Equivalent functionality


can be configured in
solr.xml using <metrics><reporter ...> element and SolrJmxReporter
implementation. Limited back-compatibility
is offered by automatically adding a default instance of SolrJmxReporter if it's
missing, AND when a local
MBean server is found (which can be activated either via ENABLE_REMOTE_JMX_OPTS
in solr.in.sh or via system
properties, eg. -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote). This default instance exports
all Solr metrics from all
registries as hierarchical MBeans. This behavior can be also disabled by
specifying a SolrJmxReporter
configuration with a boolean init arg "enabled" set to "false". For a more fine-
grained control users
should explicitly specify at least one SolrJmxReporter configuration.

* The sow (split-on-whitespace) request param now defaults to false (true in


previous versions).
This affects the edismax and standard/"lucene" query parsers: if the sow param is
not specified,
query text will not be split on whitespace before analysis. See
https://lucidworks.com/2017/04/18/multi-word-synonyms-solr-adds-query-time-
support/ .

* Setting <solrQueryParser defaultOperator="..."/> in schema is no longer allowed


and will cause an exception.
Please use "q.op" parameter on the request instead. For more details, see SOLR-
10584.

* Setting <defaultSearchField> in schema is no longer allowed and will cause an


exception.
Please use "df" parameter on the request instead. For more details, see SOLR-
10585.

* The PostingsSolrHighlighter is deprecated. Furthermore, it now internally works


via a re-configuration
of the UnifiedSolrHighlighter.

* Deprecated LatLonType, GeoHashField, SpatialPointVectorFieldType, and


SpatialTermQueryPrefixTreeFieldType.
Instead, switch to LatLonPointSpatialField or SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeFieldType
or RptWithGeometrySpatialField.

* The 'lucenePlusSort' QParser has been deprecated, and is no longer implicitly


defined. If you wish to continue using
this QParser untill Solr 8, you must explicitly register it in your
solrconfig.xml:
'<queryParser name="lucenePlusSort" class="solr.OldLuceneQParserPlugin"/>'
* In solrconfig.xml the deprecated <mergePolicy> and <mergeFactor> and
<maxMergeDocs> elements have
been removed in favor of the <mergePolicyFactory> element introduced by SOLR-8621
in Solr 5.5.0.

* Custom SolrMetricReporter classes must implement a new, factored out doInit()


method and the validate() method
must pass for all reporters including reporters that are not enabled, please see
SOLR-10671 for details.

* TemplateUpdateRequestProcessorFactory uses {} instead of ${} for template

* SOLR-9565: The name of TemplateUpdateRequestProcessorFactory' is changed to


'template' from 'Template' and the
name of 'AtomicUpdateProcessorFactory' is changed to 'atomic' from 'Atomic'

* The default for eDismax parameter 'lowercaseOperators' now depends on the


luceneMatchVersion setting in solrconfig.
It remains 'true' for luceneMatchVersion < 7.0.0 and changes to 'false' from
7.0.0. See also SOLR-4646

* The unused 'valType' option has been removed from ExternalFileField, if you have
this in your schema you
can safely remove it. see SOLR-10929 for more details.

* Config sets basic_configs and data_driven_schema_configs have now been merged


into _default. It has data driven nature
enabled by default, and can be turned off (after creating a collection) with:
curl http://host:8983/solr/mycollection/config -d '{"set-user-property":
{"update.autoCreateFields":"false"}}'
Please see SOLR-10574 for details.

* The data driven config (now _default) for auto-creating fields earlier defaulted
to "string" for text input.
Now the default is to use "text_general" and to add a copyField to the schema,
copying to a "*_str" dynamic field,
with a cutoff at 256 characters. This enables full text search as well as
faceting. See SOLR-9526 for more.

* SOLR-10123: The Analytics Component has been upgraded to support distributed


collections, expressions over multivalued
fields, a new JSON request language, and more. DocValues are now required for any
field used in the analytics expression
whereas previously docValues was not required. Please see SOLR-10123 for details.

* solrconfig.xml: <requestDispatcher handleSelect="..."> now defaults to false when


luceneMatchVersion >= 7.0,
thus ignoring "qt". Regardless, "qt" is still used as a SolrJ special parameter
that specifies the request handler
(tail URL path) to use. If you have request handlers without a leading '/', you
can set handleSelect="true"
or better yet consider migrating.

* StandardRequestHandler is deprecated. Simply use SearchHandler instead.

* The parameter names 'fromNode' for MOVEREPLICA and 'source', 'target' for
REPLACENODE have been deprecated and
replaced with 'sourceNode' and 'targetNode' instead. The old names will continue
to work for back-compatibility
but they will be removed in 8.0. See SOLR-11068 for more details.

* All deperated methods of ClusterState (except getZkClusterStateVersion())


have been removed. Use DocCollection methods instead.

* SOLR-11023: EnumField has been deprecated in favor of new EnumFieldType.

* SOLR-11239: The use of maxShardsPerNode is not supported when a cluster policy is


in effect or
when a collection specific policy is specified during collection creation.

* V2 APIs are now available at /api, in addition to /v2 (which is now deprecated).
Legacy APIs continue to remain
available at /solr.

* Solr was tested and is compatible with the final release candidate of Java 9. All
startup scripts
detect Java 9 correctly and setup Garbage Collector logging. If the configuration
file contains
logging options that are no longer supported with Java 9, startup will fail.

* SOLR-10307: If starting Jetty without the Solr start script, you must now pass
keystore and truststore
passwords via the env variables SOLR_SSL_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD and
SOLR_SSL_TRUST_STORE_PASSWORD rather
than system properties.

* SOLR-10379: ManagedSynonymFilterFactory has been deprecated in favor of


ManagedSynonymGraphFilterFactory.

* SOLR-10503: CurrencyField has been deprecated in favor of new CurrencyFieldType.

New Features
----------------------
* SOLR-9857, SOLR-9858: Collect aggregated metrics from nodes and shard leaders in
overseer. (ab)

* SOLR-9835: Create another replication mode for SolrCloud

* SOLR-10356: Adds basic math Streaming Evaluators (Dennis Gove)

* SOLR-10393: Adds UUID Streaming Evaluator (Dennis Gove)

* SOLR-10046: Add UninvertDocValuesMergePolicyFactory class. (Keith Laban,


Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-10547: JSON Facet API: Implement support for single-valued string fields for
min/max aggregations.
(yonik)

* SOLR-10262: Add support for configurable metrics implementations. (ab)

* SOLR-10431: Make it possible to invoke v2 api calls using SolrJ (Cao Manh Dat,
Noble Paul, shalin)

* SOLR-10233: Add support for different replica types, that can handle updates
differently:
- NRT: Writes updates to transaction log and indexes locally. Replicas of type
“NRT” support NRT
(soft commits) and RTG. Any NRT replica can become a leader. This was the
only type supported
in SolrCloud until now and it’s the default type.
- TLOG: Writes to transaction log, but not to index, uses replication to copy
segment files from the
shard leader. Any TLOG replica can become leader (by first applying all
local transaction log
elements). If a replica is of type TLOG but is also the leader, it will
behave as a NRT. This
is exactly what was added in SOLR-9835 (non-realtime replicas), just the
API and naming changes.
- PULL: Doesn’t index or writes to transaction log, just replicates from the
shard leader. PULL replicas
can’t become shard leaders (i.e., if there are only PULL replicas in the
collection at some point,
updates will fail same as if there is no leaders, queries continue to
work), so they don’t even
participate in elections.
(Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-10278: A new DSL to set cluster-wide preferences and policies on how to


allocate replicas to nodes
(noble, shalin)

* SOLR-10373: Implement read API for autoscaling configuration at


/admin/autoscaling or
/cluster/autoscaling paths. (shalin)

* SOLR-10677: Expose a diagnostics API to return nodes sorted by load in descending


order and
any policy violations. (shalin)

* SOLR-7452: Refinement for JSON Facet API: Adding refine:true to any terms facet
will cause an
additional distributed search phase (overlapped with field retrieval) that
requests additional info
for top facet buckets from shards that did not previously contribute to that
bucket.
This will correct counts (and other statistics) for those top buckets collected
in the first
phase. (yonik)

* SOLR-10433: CollectionAdmin requests in SolrJ to support V2 calls (noble)

* SOLR-9989: Add support for PointFields in FacetModule (JSON Facets) (Cao Manh
Dat)

* SOLR-10406: v2 API error messages list the URL request path as /solr/____v2/...
when the original path was /v2/... (Cao Manh Dat, noble)

* SOLR-10574: New _default config set replacing basic_configs and


data_driven_schema_configs.
(Ishan Chattopadhyaya, noble, shalin, hossman, David Smiley, janhoy, Alexandre
Rafalovitch)

* SOLR-10272: Use _default config set if no collection.configName is specified with


CREATE (Ishan Chattopadhyaya)
* SOLR-9526: Data driven schema now indexes text field "foo" as both "foo"
(text_general) and as "foo_str" (string)
to facilitate both search and faceting. AddSchemaFieldsUpdateProcessor now has
the ability to add a "copyField" to
the type mappings, with an optional maxChars limitation. You can also define one
typeMappings as default.
This also solves issues SOLR-8495, SOLR-6966, and SOLR-7058
(janhoy, Steve Rowe, hossman, Alexandre Rafalovitch, Shawn Heisey, Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-10123: Upgraded the Analytics Component to version 2.0 which now supports
distributed collections, expressions over
multivalued fields, a new JSON request language, and more. DocValues are now
required for any field used in the analytics
expression whereas previously docValues was not required. Please see SOLR-10123
for details. (Houston Putman)

* SOLR-10282: bin/solr support for enabling Kerberos authentication (Ishan


Chattopadhyaya, Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-11093: Add support for PointFields for {!graph} query. (yonik)

* SOLR-10845: Add support for PointFields to {!graphTerms} query that is internally


used by some graph traversal streaming expressions. (yonik)

* SOLR-10939: Add support for PointsFields to {!join} query. Joined fields should
also have docValues enabled. (yonik)

* SOLR-11173 TermsComponent support for Points fields. (yonik)

(Steve Rowe, Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-10413: v2 API: parsed JSON type should be coerced to expected type (Cao Manh
Dat, Noble Paul)

* SOLR-10223: Allow running examples as root on Linux with -force option (janhoy)
* SOLR-10830: Solr now correctly enforces that the '_root_' field has the same
fieldType as the
uniqueKey field. With out this enforcement, child document updating was
unreliable. (hossman)

* SOLR-10876: Regression in loading runtime UpdateRequestProcessors like


TemplateUpdateProcessorFactory (noble)

* SOLR-10886: Using V2Request.process(solrClient) method throws NPE if the API


returns an error (Cao Manh Dat)

* SOLR-10921: Work around the static Lucene BooleanQuery.maxClauseCount that causes


Solr's maxBooleanClauses
setting behavior to be "last core wins". This patch sets
BooleanQuery.maxClauseCount to its maximum value,
thus disabling the global check, and replaces it with specific checks where
desired via
QueryUtils.build(). (yonik)

* SOLR-10948: Fix extraction component to treat DatePointField the same as


TrieDateField (hossman)

* SOLR-10506: Fix memory leak (upon collection reload or ZooKeeper session expiry)

* SOLR-9822: JSON Facet API: Recover performance lost due to the DocValues
transition to
an iterator API (LUCENE-7407). This only fixes calculating counts for single-
valued
string fields from the FieldCache, resulting in up to 56% better throughput for

(Tomás Fernández Löbbe, Andrey Kudryavtsev)

* SOLR-10634: JSON Facet API: When a field/terms facet will retrieve all buckets
(i.e. limit:-1)
and there are no nested facets, aggregations are computed in the first collection
phase
so that the second phase which would normally involve calculating the domain for
the bucket
can be skipped entirely, leading to large performance improvements. (yonik)

* SOLR-10722: Speed up Solr's use of the UnifiedHighlighter be re-using FieldInfos.

begins to attempt to randomize
'docValues' on numeric field types unless tests explicity enable/disable them.
(hossman, Steve Rowe)

* LUCENE-7883: Solr no longer uses the context class loader when resolving
resources, they are only resolved against Solr's own or "core" class loader

ignoring "qt".
Simplified configs to not refer to handleSelect or "qt". Switch all tests that

initializing CloudSolrClient would not work if you have collection aliases on
older versions of Solr
server that doesn't support LISTALIASES. (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Noble Paul)

================== 6.5.0 ==================


Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this
release.

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.13
Carrot2 3.15.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
Jetty 9.3.14.v20161028

Detailed Change List


----------------------

Upgrade Notes
----------------------
* SOLR-10226: JMX metric "avgTimePerRequest" (and the corresponding metric in the
metrics API for
each handler) used to be a simple non-decaying average based on total cumulative
time and the
number of requests. New Codahale Metrics implementation applies exponential decay
to this value,
which heavily biases the average towards the last 5 minutes. (ab)

* SOLR-8593: Parallel SQL now uses Apache Calcite as its SQL framework. As part of
this change
the default aggregation mode has been changed to facet rather than map_reduce.
There has also been changes
to the SQL aggregate response and some SQL syntax changes. Consult the
documentation for full details.

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-9836: Add ability to recover from leader when index corruption is detected
on SolrCore creation.
(Mike Drob via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-9926: Allow passing arbitrary java system properties to zkcli. (Hrishikesh


Gadre via Mark Miller)

disabled. (Mano Kovacs via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-9481: Authentication and Authorization plugins now work in standalone mode


if security.json is placed in
SOLR_HOME on every node. Editing config through API is supported but affects only
that one node. (janhoy)

* SOLR-8029: Added new style APIs and a framework for creating new APIs and mapping
old APIs to new
(noble, Steve Rowe, Cassandra Targett, Timothy Potter)

* SOLR-9933: SolrCoreParser now supports configuration of custom SpanQueryBuilder


classes.
(Daniel Collins, Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-7955: Auto create .system collection on first request if it does not exist
(noble)

* SOLR-10087: StreamHandler now supports registering custom streaming expressions


from the blob store (Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-9997: Enable configuring SolrHttpClientBuilder via java system property.


(Hrishikesh Gadre via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-9912: Add facet.excludeTerms parameter support. (Jonny Marks, David Smiley,


Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-9916: Adds Stream Evaluators to support evaluating values from tuples.


Supports boolean,
numeric, and conditional evaluators. BooleanOperations have been removed in
preference of
BooleanEvaluators. (Dennis Gove)

* SOLR-9903: Stop interrupting the update executor on shutdown, it can cause


graceful shutdowns to put replicas into Leader
Initiated Recovery among other undesirable things. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8396: Add support for PointFields in Solr (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Tomás


Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-9987: Add support for MultiValued DocValues in PointFields using


SortedNumericDocValues (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-5944: In-place updates of Numeric DocValues. To leverage this, the _version_


field and the updated
field must both be stored=false, indexed=false, docValues=true. (Ishan
Chattopadhyaya, hossman, noble,
shalin, yonik)

* SOLR-10158: Add support for "preload" option in MMapDirectoryFactory.


(Amrit Sarkar via Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-10153 & SOLR-10152: The Unified and Postings based highlighters: Add
hl.bs.type=SEPARATOR along with new param
hl.bs.separator to break passages by a provided single character. (Amrit Sarkar,
David Smiley)

* SOLR-10156: Add significantTerms Streaming Expression (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-8593: Integrate Apache Calcite into the SQLHandler (Kevin Risden, Cao Manh
Dat, Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-10146: Added button to the Admin UI 'Collection' tab for deleting an


inactive shard (Amrit Sarkar, janhoy)

* SOLR-9999: Instrument DirectUpdateHandler2. This registers existing statistics


under metrics API and adds
more metrics to track the rates of update and delete commands. (ab)

* SOLR-9986: Implement DatePointField (Cao Manh Dat, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-8045: Deploy V2 API at /v2 instead of /solr/v2 (Cao Manh Dat, Noble Paul)
* SOLR-10039: New LatLonPointSpatialField replacement for LatLonType (and some uses
of RPT). Multi-value capable
indexed geo lat-lon points, query by rect or circle. Efficient distance
sorting/boosting too. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-10250: CloudSolrClient can now return versions for documents added or


deleted when "versions=true" is passed.
However, if there is a leader election while this request is in transit, the
versions may not be returned from that
shard. (Boris Naguet, Ishan Chattopadhyaya)

* SOLR-9045: Make RecoveryStrategy settings configurable. (Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-10224: Add disk total and disk free metrics. (ab)

* SOLR-10085: SQL result set fields should be ordered by the field list (Joel
Bernstein)

* SOLR-10254: significantTerms Streaming Expression should work in non-SolrCloud


mode (Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-10286: string/text fields may now declare themselves as large="true" in the


schema. Large fields are always
lazy loaded and will only take up space in the document cache if the actual value
is < 512KB. This option
requires "stored" and must not be multiValued. It's intended for fields that
might have very large values so that
they don't get cached in memory. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-9185: Solr's edismax and "Lucene"/standard query parsers will no longer


split on whitespace before sending
terms to analysis, if given the "sow=false" request param ("sow"=>"split on
whitespace"). This enables multi-term
source synonyms to match at query-time using SynonymGraphFilterFactory; other
analysis components will also now
work at query time, e.g. ShingleFilterFactory. By default, and when the
"sow=true" param is specified, these
parsers' behavior remains the same: queries will be split on whitespace before
sending individual terms to analysis.
(Steve Rowe)

corruption because the
removal listener was called more than once for some items and not at all for
other items. (Ben Manes, yonik)

* SOLR-10114: Reordered delete-by-query causes inconsistenties between shards that


have
child documents (Mano Kovacs, Mihaly Toth, yonik)

Smiley, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-10055: Linux installer now renames existing bin/solr.in.* as

Sarkar, Ishan Chattopadhyaya)

* SOLR-10269: MetricsHandler JSON output incorrect. (ab)

* SOLR-10237: Poly-fields should work with subfields that have docValues=true


(Tomás Fernández Löbbe, David Smiley)

* SOLR-10218: The Schema API commands "add-field-type" and "replace-field-type"


improperly specify SimilarityFactory params.
(Benjamin Deininger, Troy Mohl, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-10319: SolrCore "instanceDir" metric not visible in JMX. (ab)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-9941: Clear the deletes lists at UpdateLog before replaying from log. This

(Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-10273: The field with the longest value (if it exceeds 4K) is moved to be
last in the Lucene Document in order
to benefit from stored field optimizations in Lucene that can avoid reading it

test now
uses a fully implemented Driver instance returning a mock connection. The test
also works
correct now if other drivers were installed before test execution (e.g., through
IDE).

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* SOLR-9166: Export handler returns zero for numeric fields that are not in the
original doc. One
consequence of this change is that you must be aware that some tuples will not
have values if
there were none in the original document.

* SOLR-8785: Metrics related classes in org.apache.solr.util.stats have been


removed in favor of
the dropwizard metrics library. Any custom plugins using these classes should be
changed to use
the equivalent classes from the metrics library.
As part of this, the following changes were made to the output of Overseer Status
API:
* The "totalTime" metric has been removed because it is no longer supported
* The metrics "75thPctlRequestTime", "95thPctlRequestTime", "99thPctlRequestTime"
and "999thPctlRequestTime" in Overseer Status API have been renamed to
"75thPcRequestTime", "95thPcRequestTime"
and so on for consistency with stats output in other parts of Solr.
* The metrics "avgRequestsPerMinute", "5minRateRequestsPerMinute" and
"15minRateRequestsPerMinute" have been
replaced by corresponding per-second rates viz. "avgRequestsPerSecond",
"5minRateRequestsPerSecond"
and "15minRateRequestsPerSecond" for consistency with stats output in other
parts of Solr.

* SOLR-9708: You are encouraged to try out the UnifiedHighlighter by setting


hl.method=unified and report feedback. It
might become the default in 7.0. It's more efficient/faster than the other
highlighters, especially compared to the
original Highlighter. That said, some options aren't supported yet.
It will get more features in time, especially with your input. See
HighlightParams.java
for a listing of highlight parameters annotated with which highlighters use them.
hl.useFastVectorHighlighter is now considered deprecated in lieu of
hl.method=fastVector.

* SOLR-9712: maxWarmingSearchers now defaults to 1, and more importantly commits


will now block if this
limit is exceeded instead of throwing an exception (a good thing). Consequently
there is no longer a
risk in overlapping commits. Nonetheless users should continue to avoid
excessive committing. Users are
advised to remove any pre-existing maxWarmingSearchers entries from their
solrconfig.xml files.

* SOLR-7466: complexphrase query parser now supports leading wildcards, beware of


its' possible heaviness.
Users are encouraged to use ReversedWildcardFilter in index time analysis.

New Features
----------------------
* SOLR-9918: Add SkipExistingDocumentsProcessor that skips duplicate inserts and
ignores updates to missing docs
(Tim Owen via koji)

* SOLR-9293: Solrj client support for hierarchical clusters and other topics
marker. (Dawid Weiss)

* SOLR-9681: FacetModule / JSON Facet API added the ability to add filters directly
to
any facet command. The filters are applied after any domain change operations.
Example: { type:terms, field:category, filter:"user:yonik" }
(yonik)

* SOLR-9442, SOLR-9787: Adds Array of Name Type Value (json.nl=arrntv) style to


JSONResponseWriter.

* SOLR-8542: Adds Solr Learning to Rank (LTR) plugin for reranking results with
machine learning models.
(Michael Nilsson, Diego Ceccarelli, Joshua Pantony, Jon Dorando, Naveen
Santhapuri, Alessandro Benedetti, David Grohmann, Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-9055: Make collection backup/restore extensible. (Hrishikesh Gadre, Varun


Thacker, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-9682: JSON Facet API: added "param" query type to facet domain filter
specification to obtain
filters via query parameters. (yonik)

* SOLR-9038: Add a command-line tool to manage the snapshots functionality


(Hrishikesh Gadre via yonik)

(Gregory Chanan, Hrishikesh Gadre via yonik)

* SOLR-9721: javabin Tuple parser for streaming and other end points (noble)

* SOLR-9708: Added UnifiedSolrHighlighter, a highlighter adapter for Lucene's


UnifiedHighlighter. The adapter is a
derivative of the PostingsSolrHighlighter, supporting mostly the same parameters
with some differences.
Introduced "hl.method" parameter which can be set to original|fastVector|
postings|unified to pick the highlighter at
runtime without the need to modify solrconfig from the default configuration.
hl.useFastVectorHighlighter is now
considered deprecated in lieu of hl.method=fastVector. (Timothy Rodriguez, David
Smiley)

* SOLR-9728: Ability to specify Key Store type in solr.in.sh file for SSL (Michael
Suzuki, Kevin Risden)

* SOLR-5043: New solr.dns.prevent.reverse.lookup system property that can be used


to prevent long core
(re)load delays on systems with missconfigured hostname/DNS (hossman)

* SOLR-9844: FieldCache information fetched via the mbeans handler or seen via the
UI now displays the total size used.
The individual cache entries in the response are now formatted better as well.
(Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-9513: Generic authentication plugins (GenericHadoopAuthPlugin and


ConfigurableInternodeAuthHadoopPlugin) that delegate
all functionality to Hadoop authentication framework. (Hrishikesh Gadre via Ishan
Chattopadhyaya)

* SOLR-9860: Enable configuring invariantParams via HttpSolrClient.Builder


(Hrishikesh Gadre, Ishan Chattopadhyaya)

* SOLR-4735, SOLR-9921: Improve metrics reporting. This uses the dropwizard metric
library, adding an internal
API for registering and reporting metrics from Solr components. Several new
metrics and an improved JMX
reporter have been added (Alan Woodward, Jeff Wartes, Christine Poerschke, Kelvin
Wong, shalin, ab)

* SOLR-9788: Use instrumented jetty classes provided by the dropwizard metric


library. (shalin)

* SOLR-9805: Use metrics-jvm library to instrument jvm internals such as GC, memory
usage and others. (shalin)

* SOLR-9812, SOLR-9911, SOLR-9960: Added a new /admin/metrics API to return all


metrics collected by Solr via API.
API supports four optional multi-valued parameters:
- 'group' (all,jvm,jetty,node,core),
- 'type' (all,counter,timer,gauge,histogram),
- 'prefix' that filters the returned metrics,
- 'registry' that selects one or more registries by prefix (eg.
solr.jvm,solr.core.collection1)
- Example: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/metrics?group=jvm,jetty&type=counter
- Example: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/metrics?group=jvm&prefix=buffers,os
- Example: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/metrics?
registry=solr.node,solr.core&prefix=ADMIN
(shalin, ab)

* SOLR-9884: Add version to segments handler output (Steven Bower via Erick
Erickson)

* SOLR-9725: Substitute properties into JdbcDataSource configuration ( Jamie


Jackson, Yuri Sashevsky via Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-9877: SOLR-9923: SOLR-9948: Use instrumented http client and connection pool
in HttpShardHandler and
UpdateShardHandler. The metrics are collected per query-less URL and method by
default but it can be configured
to host/method and per-method as well. (shalin)

* SOLR-9880: Add Ganglia, Graphite and SLF4J metrics reporters. (ab)

* SOLR-9897: Add hl.requireFieldMatch toggle support when using the


UnifiedHighlighter. Defaults to false like the
other highlighters that support this. (David Smiley)

with ReversedWildcardFilterFactory
when it's provided (Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-9935: Add hl.fragsize support when using the UnifiedHighlighter to avoid


snippets/Passages that are too small.

(ab).

* SOLR-9886: Add a 'enable' flag to caches to enable/disable them (Pushkar Raste,


noble)

* SOLR-9947: Clean up some SolrInfoMBean categories. Add an alternative


hierarchical view in JMX
for SolrInfoMBeans, which uses similar conventions to SolrJmxReporter. (ab)

Optimizations
----------------------
* SOLR-9704: Facet Module / JSON Facet API: Optimize blockChildren facets that have
filters specified by using those filters as acceptDocs. (yonik)

* SOLR-9726: Reduce number of lookupOrd calls made by the DocValuesFacets.getCounts


method.
(Jonny Marks via Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-9772: Deriving distributed sort values (fieldSortValues) should reuse


comparator and only invalidate leafComparator. (John Call via yonik)
* SOLR-9786: FieldType has a new getSetQuery() method that can take a set of terms
and create a more efficient query (such as TermsQuery). The solr query parser
has been
changed to use this method when appropriate. The parser also knows when it is
being
used to parse a filter and will create TermsQueries from large lists of normal
terms
or numbers, resulting in a query that will execute faster. This also acts to
avoid
BooleanQuery maximum clause limit. Query parsing itself has also been optimized,
resulting in less produced garbage and 5-7% better performance.
(yonik)

* SOLR-9902: StandardDirectoryFactory should use Files API for it's move


implementation. (Mark Miller, Mike Drob)

Bug Fixes
----------------------
* SOLR-9701: NPE in export handler when "fl" parameter is omitted.
(Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-9433: SolrCore clean-up logic uses incorrect path to delete dataDir on


failure to create a core.
(Evan Sayer, shalin)

* SOLR-9360: Solr script not properly checking SOLR_PID


(Alessandro Benedetti via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-9716: RecoveryStrategy sends prep recovery command without setting read time
out which can cause
replica recovery to hang indefinitely on network partitions. (Cao Manh Dat,
shalin)

* SOLR-9624: In Admin UI, do not attempt to highlight CSV output (Alexandre


Rafalovitch)

* SOLR-9005: In files example, add a guard condition to javascript URP script


(Alexandre Rafalovitch)

* SOLR-9519: JSON Facet API: don't stop at an empty facet bucket if any sub-facets
still have a chance
of matching something due to filter exclusions (which can widen the domain
again).
(Michael Sun, yonik)

* SOLR-9740: A bug in macro expansion of multi-valued parameters caused non-


expanded values
after the first expanded value in the same multi-valued parameter to be dropped.
(Erik Hatcher, yonik)

* SOLR-9751: PreAnalyzedField can cause managed schema corruption. (Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-9736: Solr resolves the collection name against the first available leader
or first replica
of the first slice. This puts undue pressure on leader cores and likely on the
wrong ones. This is
fixed to randomly pick a leader on updates or a replica core otherwise. (Cao Manh
Dat via shalin)
* SOLR-9284: The HDFS BlockDirectoryCache should not let it's keysToRelease or
names maps grow indefinitely.
(Mark Miller, Michael Sun)

the collection has been
removed. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-9707: Don't forward DeleteByQuery requests to down replicas. (Jessica Cheng


Mallet via Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-9823: CoreContainer incorrectly setting MDCLoggingContext for core (Jessica


Cheng Mallet via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-1953: It may be possible for temporary files to accumulate until the Solr
process is shut down.
(Karl Wright, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-9847: Stop blocking further schema updates while waiting for a pending
update to propagate to other replicas.
This reduces the likelihood of a (time-limited) distributed deadlock during
concurrent schema updates.
(Mark Miller, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-9760: Windows script doesn't need write permission (Alex Crome by Mikhail
Khludnev)

* SOLR-9699,SOLR-4668: fix exception from core status in parallel with core reload
(Mikhail Khludnev)

distributed mode when
there were no values in a bucket from a shard. (yonik)

* SOLR-9931: JSON Facet API hll (hyper-log-log) function returned 0 for non-empty
buckets with no field values
in local mode, but nothing for distributed mode. Both modes now return 0.
(yonik)

* SOLR-9503: NPE in Replica Placement Rules when using Overseer Role with other
rules (Tim Owen via noble)

* SOLR-9883: Example schemaless solr config files can lead to invalid tlog replays:
when updates are buffered,
update processors ordered before DistributedUpdateProcessor, e.g. field
normalization, are never run. (Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-9644: SimpleMLTQParser and CloudMLTQParser did not handle field boosts


properly
and CloudMLTQParser included extra strings from the field definitions in the

Jetty 9.3.8.v20160314

Detailed Change List


----------------------

Upgrade Notes
----------------------

* If you use the JSON Facet API (json.facet) with method=stream, you must now set
sort='index asc' to get the streaming
behavior; otherwise it won't stream. Reminder: "method" is a hint that doesn't
change defaults of other parameters.

* If you use the JSON Facet API (json.facet) to facet on a numeric field and if you
use mincount=0 or if you set the
prefix, then you will now get an error as these options are incompatible with
numeric faceting.

* Solr's logging verbosity at the INFO level has been greatly reduced, and
you may need to update the log configs to use the DEBUG level to see all the
logging messages you used to see at INFO level before.

* We are no longer backing up solr.log and solr_gc.log files in date-stamped copies


forever. If you relied on
the solr_log_<date> or solr_gc_log_<date> being in the logs folder that will no
longer be the case.
See SOLR-9570 for details.

* The create/deleteCollection methods on MiniSolrCloudCluster have been


deprecated. Clients should instead use the CollectionAdminRequest API. In
addition, MiniSolrCloudCluster#uploadConfigDir(File, String) has been
deprecated in favour of #uploadConfigSet(Path, String)

* The bin/solr.in.sh (bin/solr.in.cmd on Windows) is now completely commented by


default. Previously, this wasn't so,
which had the effect of masking existing environment variables.

New Features
----------------------
* SOLR-5725: facet.method=enum can bypass exact counts calculation with
facet.exists=true, it just returns 1 for
terms which exists in result docset. (Alexey Kozhemiakin, Sebastian Koziel,

================== 6.2.1 ==================

Bug Fixes
----------------------

Collector.needsScores(), especially when the
query was cached. This can cause an exception when 'q' is a SpanQuery or
potentially others. (David Smiley)

exception in SolrCloud configuration
(Mike Drob via Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-9445: Admin requests are retried by CloudSolrClient and LBHttpSolrClient on


failure. (shalin)

has also been made more resilient against failures resulting from non-existent
cores. (shalin)

* SOLR-9430: Fix locale lookup in DIH <propertyWriter/> to use BCP47 language tags
to be consistent with other places in Solr. Language names still work for
backwards
compatibility. (Uwe Schindler, Boris Steiner)

Schindler, Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-9381: Snitch for freedisk uses '/' instead of 'coreRootDirectory' (Tim Owen,
noble)

replicas to recover
without replicating the index. This can cause data loss. (shalin)

* SOLR-9490: Fixed bugs in BoolField that caused it to erroneously return "false"


for all docs depending
on usage (Colvin Cowie, Dan Fox, hossman)

* SOLR-9438: Shard split can be marked successful and sub-shard states switched to
'active' even when
one or more sub-shards replicas do not recover due to the leader crashing or
restarting between the time
the replicas are created and before they can recover. This can cause data loss.
(shalin)

* SOLR-9408: Fix TreeMergeOutputFormat to add timestamp metadata to a commit.


SolrCloud replication relies on this.
(Jessica Cheng Mallet via Varun Thacker)

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-8782: Add asynchronous sugar methods to the SolrJ Collections API. You
can now call .processAsync() to run a method asynchronously, or
.processAndWait() to wait for a call to finish without holding HTTP
collections open. (Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-8765: Enforce required parameters at query construction time in the SolrJ


Collections API, add static factory methods, and deprecate old setter methods.
(Alan Woodward, Jason Gerlowski)

* SOLR-8842: authorization APIs do not use name as an identifier for a permission


for update, delete commands and 'before' attribute (noble)

* SOLR-8814: Support GeoJSON response writer and general spatial formatting.


Adding
&wt=geojson&geojson.field=<your geometry field>
Will return a FeatureCollection for each SolrDocumentList and a Feature with the
requested geometry for each SolrDocument. The requested geometry field needs
to either extend AbstractSpatialFieldType or store a GeoJSON string. This also
adds
a [geo] DocumentTransformer that can return the Shape in a variety of formats:
&fl=[geo f=<your geometry field> w=(GeoJSON|WKT|POLY)]
The default format is GeoJSON. For information on the supported formats, see:
https://github.com/locationtech/spatial4j/blob/master/FORMATS.md
To return the FeatureCollection as the root element, add '&omitHeader=true"
(ryan)

* SOLR-8859: Spatial fields like RPT can now be configured to use Spatial4j
registered shape formats
e.g. via format="GeoJSON". (ryan, David Smiley)

release

Versions of Major Components

Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
Jetty 9.3.8.v20160314

System Requirements
----------------------
* LUCENE-5950: Move to Java 8 as minimum Java version.
(Ryan Ernst, Uwe Schindler)
Upgrading from Solr 5.x
----------------------

* The deprecated SolrServer and subclasses have been removed, use SolrClient
instead.

* The deprecated <nrtMode> configuration in solrconfig.xml has been removed.


Please remove it from solrconfig.xml.

* SolrClient.shutdown() has been removed, use SolrClient.close() instead.

* The deprecated zkCredientialsProvider element in solrcloud section of solr.xml


is now removed. Use the correct spelling (zkCredentialsProvider) instead.

* SOLR-7957: internal/expert - ResultContext was significantly changed and expanded


to allow for multiple full query results (DocLists) per Solr request.
TransformContext was rendered redundant and was removed. (yonik)

* Several changes have been made regarding the "Similarity" used in Solr, in order
to provide
better default behavior for new users. There are 3 key impacts of these changes
on existing
users who upgrade:
* DefaultSimilarityFactory has been removed. If you currently have
DefaultSimilarityFactory explicitly
referenced in your schema.xml, edit your config to use the functionally
identical
ClassicSimilarityFactory. See SOLR-8239 for more details.
* The implicit default Similarity used when no <similarity/> is configured in
schema.xml has
been changed to SchemaSimilarityFactory. Users who wish to preserve back-
compatible behavior should
either explicitly configure ClassicSimilarityFactory, or ensure that the
luceneMatchVersion
for the collection is less then 6.0. See SOLR-8270 + SOLR-8271 for details.
* SchemaSimilarityFactory has been modified to use BM25Similarity as the default
for fieldTypes that
do not explicitly declare a Similarity. The legacy behavior of using
ClassicSimilarity as the
default will occur if the luceneMatchVersion for the collection is less then
6.0, or the
'defaultSimFromFieldType' configuration option may be used to specify any
default of your choosing.
See SOLR-8261 + SOLR-8329 for more details.

* If your solrconfig.xml file doesn't explicitly mention the schemaFactory to use


then Solr will choose
the ManagedIndexSchemaFactory by default. Previously it would have chosen
ClassicIndexSchemaFactory.
This means that the Schema APIs ( /<collection>/schema ) are enabled and the
schema is mutable.
When Solr starts your schema.xml file will be renamed to managed-schema. If you
want to retain the old behaviour
then please ensure that the solrconfig.xml explicitly uses the
ClassicIndexSchemaFactory :
<schemaFactory class="ClassicIndexSchemaFactory"/> or your luceneMatchVersion in
the solrconfig.xml is less than 6.0
* SolrIndexSearcher.QueryCommand and QueryResult were moved to their own classes.
If you reference them
in your code, you should import them under o.a.s.search (or use your IDE's
"Organize Imports").

* SOLR-8698: 'useParams' attribute specified in request handler cannot be


overridden from request params

* When requesting stats in date fields, "sum" is now a double value instead of a
date. See SOLR-8671

* SOLR-8736: The deprecated GET methods for schema are now accessible through the
bulk API. The output
has less details and is not backward compatible.

* In the past, Solr guaranteed that retrieval of multi-valued fields would preserve
the order of values.
Because values may now be retrieved from column-stored fields (docValues="true"),
in conjunction with the
fact that docValues do not currently preserve order, means that users should set
useDocValuesAsStored="false"
to prevent future optizations from using the column-stored values over the row-
stored values when
fields have both stored="true" and docValues="true".

* Formatted date-times from Solr have some differences. If the year is more than 4
digits, there is a leading '+'.
When there is a non-zero number of milliseconds, it is padded with zeros to 3
digits. Negative year (BC) dates are
now possible. Parsing: It is now an error to supply a portion of the date out of
its, range, like 67 seconds.

* SolrJ no longer includes DateUtil. If for some reason you need to format or parse
dates, simply use Instant.format()
and Instant.parse().

* If you are using an RPT or other spatial field referencing Spatial4j in its
configuration, then replace the string
"com.spatial4j.core" with "org.locationtech.spatial4j". Consider updating direct
to Solr 6.2 which accepts the
old value, albeit with a warning.

instances. (yonik)

* SOLR-8865: Real-time get sometimes fails to retrieve stored fields from


docValues.
(Ishan Chattopadhyaya, yonik)

Optimizations
----------------------
* SOLR-7876: Speed up queries and operations that use many terms when timeAllowed
has not been
specified. Speedups of up to 8% were observed. (yonik)

* SOLR-8037: Speed up creation of filters from term range queries (i.e. non-numeric
range queries)
and use the filter cache for term range queries that are part of larger queries.
Some observed
speedups were up to 2.5x for production of filters, and up to 10x for query
evaluation with
embedded term range queres that resulted in filter cache hits. (yonik)

* SOLR-8559: FCS facet performance optimization which significantly speeds up


processing when terms
are high cardinality and the matching docset is small. When facet minCount > 0
and the number of
matching documents is small (or 0) this enhancement prevents considering terms
which have a 0
count. Also includes change to move to the next non-zero term value when
selecting a segment
position. (Keith Laban, Steve Bower, Dennis Gove)

* SOLR-8532: Optimize GraphQuery when maxDepth is set by not collecting edges at


the maxDepth level.
(Kevin Watters via yonik)

* SOLR-8669: Non binary responses use chunked encoding because we flush the
outputstream early.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8720: ZkController#publishAndWaitForDownStates should use


#publishNodeAsDown. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8082: Can't query against negative float or double values when


indexed="false"
docValues="true" multiValued="false". (hossman, Ishan Chattopadhyaya, yonik,
Steve Rowe)

======================= 5.5.0 =======================

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this
release

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.7
Carrot2 3.10.4
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
Jetty 9.2.13.v20150730

Upgrading from Solr 5.4


-----------------------

* The Solr schema version has been increased to 1.6. Since schema version 1.6, all
non-stored docValues fields
will be returned along with other stored fields when all fields (or pattern
matching globs) are specified
to be returned (e.g. fl=*) for search queries. This behavior can be turned on and
off by setting
'useDocValuesAsStored' parameter for a field or a field type to true (default
since schema version 1.6)
or false (default till schema version 1.5).
Note that enabling this property has performance implications because DocValues
are column-oriented and may
therefore incur additional cost to retrieve for each returned document. All
example schema are upgraded to
version 1.6 but any older schemas will default to useDocValuesAsStored=false and
continue to work as in
older versions of Solr. If this new behavior is desirable, then you should set
version attribute in your
schema file to '1.6'. Re-indexing is not necessary to upgrade the schema version.
Also note that while returning non-stored fields from docValues (default in
schema versions 1.6+, unless
useDocValuesAsStored is false), the values of a multi-valued field are returned
in sorted order.
If you require the multi-valued fields to be returned in the original insertion
order, then make your
multi-valued field as stored. This requires re-indexing.
See SOLR-8220 for more details.

* All protected methods from CoreAdminHandler other than handleCustomAction() is


removed by SOLR-8476 and can
no more be overridden. If you still wish to override those methods, override the
handleRequestBody()

* The PERSIST CoreAdmin action which was a NOOP and returned a deprecated message
has been removed. See SOLR-8476
for more details. The corresponding SolrJ action has also been removed.

* bin/post now defaults application/json files to the /update/json/docs end-point.


Use `-format solr` to force
files to the /update end-point. See SOLR-7042 for more details.

* In solrconfig.xml the <mergePolicy> element is deprecated in favor of a similar


<mergePolicyFactory> element,
the <mergeFactor> and <maxMergeDocs> elements are also deprecated, please see
SOLR-8621 for full details.

To migrate your existing solrconfig.xml, you can replace elements as follows:

<!-- TieredMergePolicy example -->


<!-- deprecated -->
<mergeFactor>??</mergeFactor>
<mergePolicy class="org.apache.lucene.index.TieredMergePolicy">
<bool name="useCompoundFile">???</bool> <!-- deprecated since Lucene/Solr 4.4.0
-->
...
</mergePolicy>
<!-- replacement -->
<useCompoundFile>???</useCompoundFile> <!-- since Lucene/Solr 4.4.0 -->
<mergePolicyFactory class="org.apache.solr.index.TieredMergePolicyFactory">
<int name="maxMergeAtOnce">??</int> <!-- formerly the <mergeFactor> element
implicitly set this -->
<int name="segmentsPerTier">??</int> <!-- formerly the <mergeFactor> element
implicitly set this -->
...
</mergePolicyFactory>

<!-- Log(ByteSize|Doc)MergePolicy example -->


<!-- deprecated -->
<maxMergeDocs>????</maxMergeDocs>
<mergeFactor>??</mergeFactor>
<mergePolicy class="org.apache.lucene.index.Log?MergePolicy">
<bool name="useCompoundFile">???</bool> <!-- deprecated since Lucene/Solr 4.4.0
-->
...
</mergePolicy>
<!-- replacement -->
<useCompoundFile>???</useCompoundFile> <!-- since Lucene/Solr 4.4.0 -->
<mergePolicyFactory class="org.apache.solr.index.Log?MergePolicyFactory">
<int name="maxMergeDocs">????</int> <!-- formerly the <maxMergeDocs> element
set this -->
<int name="mergeFactor">??</int> <!-- formerly the <mergeFactor> element set
this -->
...
</mergePolicyFactory>

* Clearing up stored async collection api responses via REQUESTSTATUS call is now
deprecated and would be
removed in 6.0. See SOLR-8648 for more details.
* SOLR-6594: Deprecated the old schema API which will be removed in a later major
release

* SOLR-839: XML QueryParser support (defType=xmlparser)


Lucene includes a queryparser that supports the creation of Lucene queries from
XML.
The queries supported by lucene.queryparser.xml.CoreParser are now supported by
the newly
created solr.search.SolrCoreParser and in future SolrCoreParser could support
additional
queries also.
Example: <BooleanQuery fieldName="description">
<Clause occurs="must"> <TermQuery>shirt</TermQuery> </Clause>
<Clause occurs="mustnot"> <TermQuery>plain</TermQuery> </Clause>
<Clause occurs="should"> <TermQuery>cotton</TermQuery> </Clause>
<Clause occurs="must">
<BooleanQuery fieldName="size">
<Clause occurs="should"> <TermsQuery>S M L</TermsQuery> </Clause>
</BooleanQuery>
</Clause>
</BooleanQuery>
(Erik Hatcher, Karl Wettin, Daniel Collins, Nathan Visagan, Ahmet Arslan,
Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8312: Add domain size and numBuckets to facet telemetry info (facet debug
info
for the new Facet Module). (Michael Sun, yonik)

* SOLR-8534: Add generic support for collection APIs to be async. Thus more actions
benefit from having async
support. The commands that additionally get async support are: delete/reload
collection, create/delete alias,
create/delete shard, delete replica, add/delete replica property, add/remove
role,
overseer status, balance shard unique, rebalance leaders, modify collection,
migrate state format (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-4619: Improve PreAnalyzedField query analysis. (Andrzej Bialecki, Steve


Rowe)

* SOLR-8560: Added RequestStatusState enum which can be used when comparing states
of
asynchronous requests. (Shai Erera)

* SOLR-8586: added index fingerprint, a hash over all versions currently in the
index.
PeerSync now uses this to check if replicas are in sync. (yonik)

* SOLR-8500: Allow the number of threads ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient


StreamingSolrClients configurable by a
system property. NOTE: this is an expert option and can result in more often
needing to do full index replication
for recovery, the sweet spot for using this is very high volume, leader-only
indexing. (Tim Potter, Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-8642: SOLR allows creation of collections with invalid names


(Jason Gerlowski via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-8621: Deprecate <mergePolicy> in favor of <mergePolicyFactory>. It allows to


configure
both the "simple" merge policies, but also more advanced ones, e.g.
UpgradeIndexMergePolicy.
(Christine Poerschke, Shai Erera)

* SOLR-8648: DELETESTATUS API for selective deletion and flushing of stored async
collection API responses.
(Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-8466: adding facet.method=uif to bring back UnInvertedField faceting which


is used to work on
facet.method=fc. It's more performant for rarely changing indexes. Note: it
ignores prefix and contains yet.
(Jamie Johnson via Mikhail Khludnev)
Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-8175: Word Break Spellchecker would throw AIOOBE with certain queries
containing
"should" clauses. (Ryan Josal via James Dyer)

* SOLR-2556: The default spellcheck query converter was ignoring terms consisting
entirely
of digits. (James Dyer)

* SOLR-8366: ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient attempts to use response's content type as


charset encoding
for parsing exception. (shalin)

* SOLR-6271: Fix ConjunctionSolrSpellChecker to not compare StringDistance by


instance.
(Igor Kostromin via James Dyer)

* SOLR-7304: Fix Spellcheck Collate to not invalidate range queries. (James Dyer)

* SOLR-8373: KerberosPlugin: Using multiple nodes on same machine leads clients to


fetch TGT for every request (Ishan Chattopadhyaya via noble)

* SOLR-8367: Fix the LeaderInitiatedRecovery 'all replicas participate' fail-safe.


(Mark Miller, Mike Drob)

* SOLR-8401: Windows start script fails when executed from a different drive.
(Nicolas Gavalda via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-6992: Fix "Files" UI to show the managed-schema file as well.


(Shawn Heisey, Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-2649: MM ignored in edismax queries with operators.


(Greg Pendlebury, Jan Høydahl et. al. via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-8372: Canceled recovery can rarely lead to inconsistent shards:


If a replica is recovering via index replication, and that recovery fails
(for example if the leader goes down), and then some more updates are received
(there could be a few left to be processed from the leader that just went down),
and then that replica is brought down, it will think it is up-to-date when
restarted. (shalin, Mark Miller, yonik)

* SOLR-8419: TermVectorComponent for distributed search when distrib.singlePass


could include term
vectors for documents that matched the query yet weren't in the returned
documents. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-8015: HdfsLock may fail to close a FileSystem instance if it cannot


immediately
obtain an index lock. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8422: When authentication enabled, requests fail if sent to a node that


doesn't host
the collection (noble)

* SOLR-8059: &debug=results for distributed search when distrib.singlePass


(sometimes activated
automatically) could result in an NPE. (David Smiley, Markus Jelsma)

* SOLR-8460: /analysis/field could throw exceptions for custom attributes. (David


Smiley, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-8276: Atomic updates and realtime-get do not work with non-stored docvalues.
(Ishan Chattopadhyaya, yonik via shalin)

* SOLR-7462: AIOOBE in RecordingJSONParser (Scott Dawson, noble)

* SOLR-8494: SimplePostTool and therefore the bin/post script cannot upload files
larger than 2.1GB. (shalin)

* SOLR-8451: We should not call method.abort in HttpSolrClient or


HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery and
HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery should not close streams. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8450: Our HttpClient retry policy is too permissive. (Mark Miller, shalin)

* SOLR-8533: Raise default maxUpdateConnections and maxUpdateConnectionsPerHost to


100k each.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8453: Solr should attempt to consume the request inputstream on errors as we


cannot
count on the container to do it. (Mark Miller, Greg Wilkins, yonik, Joakim
Erdfelt)

* SOLR-6279: cores?action=UNLOAD now waits for the core to close before


unregistering it from ZK.
(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-2798: Fixed local params to work correctly with multivalued params


(Demian Katz via hossman)

* SOLR-8541: Highlighting a geo RPT field would throw an NPE instead of doing
nothing.
(Pawel Rog via David Smiley)

* SOLR-8548: Core discovery was not following symlinks (Aaron LaBella via Alan
Woodward)

* SOLR-8564: Fix Embedded ZooKeeper to use <solrHome>/zoo_data for it's data


directory

* SOLR-8371: Try and prevent too many recovery requests from stacking up and clean
up some faulty
cancel recovery logic. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8582 : memory leak in JsonRecordReader affecting /update/json/docs. Large


payloads
cause OOM (noble, shalin)

* SOLR-8605: Regular expression queries starting with escaped forward slash caused
an exception. (Scott Blum, yonik)

* SOLR-8607: The Schema API refuses to add new fields that match existing dynamic
fields.
(Jan Høydahl, Steve Rowe)
* SOLR-8575: Fix HDFSLogReader replay status numbers, a performance bug where we
can reopen
FSDataInputStream much too often, and an hdfs tlog data integrity bug.
(Mark Miller, Patrick Dvorack, yonik)

* SOLR-8651: The commitWithin parameter is not passed on for deleteById in


UpdateRequest in
distributed queries (Jessica Cheng Mallet via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-8551: Make collection deletion more robust. (Mark Miller)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-8501: Specify the entity request size when known in HttpSolrClient. (Mark
Miller)

* SOLR-8615: Just like creating cores, we should use multiple threads when closing
cores.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-7281: Add an overseer action to publish an entire node as 'down'. (Mark


Miller, shalin)

* SOLR-8669: Non binary responses use chunked encoding because we flush the
outputstream early.
(Mark Miller)

Other Changes
----------------------

* LUCENE-6900: Added test for score ordered grouping, and refactored


TopGroupsResultTransformer.
(David Smiley)

* SOLR-8336: CoreDescriptor now takes a Path for its instance directory, rather
than a String (Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-8351: Improve HdfsDirectory toString representation


(Mike Drob via Gregory Chanan)

* SOLR-8321: add a (SolrQueryRequest free) SortSpecParsing.parseSortSpec variant


(Christine Poerschke)

variable
or enum equivalent (Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8333: Several API tweaks so that public APIs were no longer refering to
private classes
(ehatcher, Shawn Heisey, hossman)

* SOLR-8357: UpdateLog.RecentUpdates now implements Closeable (Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-8339: Refactor SolrDocument and SolrInputDocument to have a common base


abstract class
called SolrDocumentBase. Deprecated methods toSolrInputDocument and
toSolrDocument in ClientUtils.
(Ishan Chattopadhyaya via shalin)

* SOLR-8353: Support regex for skipping license checksums (Gregory Chanan)

* SOLR-8313: SimpleQueryParser doesn't use MultiTermAnalysis for Fuzzy Queries (Tom


Hill via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-8359: Restrict child classes from using parent logger's state


(Jason Gerlowski, Mike Drob, Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-8131: All example config sets now explicitly use the


ManagedIndexSchemaFactory
instead of ClassicIndexSchemaFactory. This means that the Schema APIs (
/<collection>/schema )
are enabled by default and the schema is mutable. The schema file will be called
managed-schema
(Uwe Schindler, shalin, Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-8381: Cleanup data_driven managed-schema and solrconfig.xml files. Commented


out copyFields are removed
and solrconfig.xml doesn't refer to field which are not defined. (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-7774: revise BasicDistributedZkTest.test logic w.r.t. 'commitWithin did not


work on some nodes'
(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8360: simplify ExternalFileField.getValueSource implementation (Christine


Poerschke)

* SOLR-8387: All example configs shipped with Solr explicitly use


ManagedIndexSchemaFactory, the schema file will
be called managed-schema instead of schema.xml . It is not advised to use hand
edit the managed-schema. You should
use the schema APIs instead ( /<collection>/schema ) . If you do not want this
behaviour in the example configs,
before you start solr rename managed-schema to schema.xml and change the
schemaFactory in solrconfig.xml file
to explicitly use ClassicIndexSchemaFactory instead : <schemaFactory
class="ClassicIndexSchemaFactory"/>
(Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-8305: replace LatLonType.getValueSource's QParser use (Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8388: factor out response/TestSolrQueryResponse.java from


servlet/ResponseHeaderTest.java
more TestSolrQueryResponse.java tests; add SolrReturnFields.toString method,
ReturnFieldsTest.testToString test;
(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8383: SolrCore.java + QParserPlugin.java container initialCapacity tweaks

* SOLR-8414: AbstractDistribZkTestBase.verifyReplicaStatus could throw NPE


(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8410: Add all read paths to 'read' permission in


RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin (noble)

* SOLR-8279: Add a new test fault injection approach and a new SolrCloud test that
stops and starts the cluster
while indexing data and with random faults. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8419: TermVectorComponent for distributed search now requires a uniqueKey in


the schema. Also, it no longer
returns "uniqueKeyField" in the response. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-8317: add & use responseHeader and response accessors to SolrQueryResponse.


(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8452: replace "partialResults" occurrences with


SolrQueryResponse.RESPONSE_HEADER_PARTIAL_RESULTS_KEY
(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8454: ZkStateReader logging improvements and cleanup of dead code (Shai


Erera, Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-8455: RecovertStrategy logging improvements and sleep-between-recovery-


attempts bug fix.
(Shai Erera)

* SOLR-8481: TestSearchPerf no longer needs to duplicate SolrIndexSearcher.


(NO_CHECK_QCACHE|NO_CHECK_FILTERCACHE)
(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8486: No longer require jar/unzip for bin/solr (Steven E. Harris, janhoy)

* SOLR-8483: relocate 'IMPORTANT NOTE' in open-exchange-rates.json test-file to


avoid
OpenExchangeRatesOrgProvider.java warnings (Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8489: TestMiniSolrCloudCluster.createCollection to support extra &


alternative collectionProperties
(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8482: add & use QueryCommand.[gs]etTerminateEarly accessors. (Christine


Poerschke)

string field. (shalin)

* SOLR-8484: refactor update/SolrIndexConfig.LOCK_TYPE_* into


core/DirectoryFactory.LOCK_TYPE_*
(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8504: (IndexSchema|SolrIndexConfig)Test: private static finals for


solrconfig.xml and schema.xml String literals. (Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8505: core/DirectoryFactory.LOCK_TYPE_HDFS - add & use it instead of String


literals

types, including support for
.jsonl (JSON Lines) files. (Erik Hatcher and shalin)

* SOLR-8476: Refactor and cleanup CoreAdminHandler (noble, Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-8535: Support forcing define-lucene-javadoc-url to be local (Gregory Chanan)

* SOLR-8549: Solr start script checks for cores which have failed to load as well
before attempting to
create a core with the same name (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-8555: SearchGroupShardResponseProcessor (initialCapacity) tweaks (Christine


Poerschke)

* LUCENE-6978: Refactor several code places that lookup locales


by string name to use BCP47 locale tag instead. LuceneTestCase
now also prints locales on failing tests this way. In addition,
several places in Solr now additionally support BCP47 in config
files. (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)

* SOLR-7907: Remove CLUSTERSTATUS related exclusivity checks while running commands


in the Overseer because the
CLUSTERSTATUS request is served by the individual nodes itself and not via the
Overseer node (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-8566: various initialCapacity tweaks (Fix Versions: trunk 5.5)


(Christine Poerschke)

* SOLR-8565: add & use CommonParams.(ROWS|START)_DEFAULT constants (Christine


Poerschke)

================== 5.4.1 ==================

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-8460: /analysis/field could throw exceptions for custom attributes. (David


Smiley, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-8373: KerberosPlugin: Using multiple nodes on same machine leads clients to


fetch TGT for every request (Ishan Chattopadhyaya via noble)

* SOLR-8059: &debug=results for distributed search when distrib.singlePass


(sometimes activated
automatically) could result in an NPE. (David Smiley, Markus Jelsma)

* SOLR-8422: When authentication enabled, requests fail if sent to a node that


doesn't host
the collection (noble)

* SOLR-7462: AIOOBE in RecordingJSONParser (Scott Dawson, noble)

* SOLR-8496: SolrIndexSearcher.getDocSet(List<Query>) incorrectly included deleted


documents
when all of the queries were uncached (or there was no filter cache). This
caused
multi-select faceting (including the JSON Facet API) to include deleted doc
counts
when the remaining non-excluded filters were all uncached. This bug was first
introduced in 5.3.0
(Andreas Müller, Vasiliy Bout, Erick Erickson, Shawn Heisey, Hossman, yonik)

* SOLR-8418: Adapt to changes in LUCENE-6590 for use of boosts with MLTHandler and
Simple/CloudMLTQParser (Jens Wille, Ramkumar Aiyengar)

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-8470: Make TTL of PKIAuthenticationPlugin's tokens configurable through a


system property
(pkiauth.ttl) (noble)

================== 5.4.0 ==================

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this
release

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.7
Carrot2 3.10.4
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
Jetty 9.2.13.v20150730

Upgrading from Solr 5.3


-----------------------

* DefaultSimilarityFactory has been renamed to ClassicSimilarityFactory to match


the underlying rename of
DefaultSimilarity to ClassicSimilarity and the (eventual) move away from using it
as a default.
If you currently have DefaultSimilarityFactory explicitly referenced in your
schema.xml, you will now get
a warning urging you to edit your config to use the functionally identical
ClassicSimilarityFactory.
DefaultSimilarityFactory will be removed completely in Solr 6. See SOLR-8239 for
more details.
* SOLR-7859: The following APIs are now deprecated:
- SolrCore.getStartTime: Use SolrCore.getStartTimeStamp instead.
- SolrIndexSearcher.getOpenTime: Use SolrIndexSearcher.getOpenTimeStamp instead.

* SOLR-8307: EmptyEntityResolver was moved from core to solrj, and moved from the
org.apache.solr.util
package to org.apache.solr.common. If you are using this class, you will need to
adjust the import package.

* Logger declarations in most source files have changed to code that


no longer needs to explicitly state the class name. This fixes situations
where a logger for a different class was incorrectly used. See SOLR-8324
and its sub-issues for details.

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-5756: A utility Collection API to move a collection from shared

img, tpl
can be accessed. (Upayavira, Steve Rowe, Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-8069: Ensure that only the valid ZooKeeper registered leader can put a
replica into Leader

* SOLR-8077: Replication can still cause index corruption. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8104: Config API does not work for spellchecker (noble)

* SOLR-8095: Allow disabling HDFS Locality Metrics and disable by default as it may
have performance
implications on rapidly changing indexes. (Mike Drob via Mark Miller)

(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-8075: Leader Initiated Recovery should not stop a leader that participated

also fail to remove dates in some cases. (Burkhard Buelte, Luc Vanlerberghe,
shalin)

* SOLR-8167: Authorization framework does not work with POST params (noble)

stateFormat=1
and stateFormat=2. (Scott Blum, shalin)

* SOLR-7971: Reduce memory allocated by JavaBinCodec to encode small strings by an


amount

caused
multi-select faceting (including the JSON Facet API) to include deleted doc
counts
when the remaining non-excluded filters were all uncached. This bug was first
introduced in 5.3.0
(Andreas Müller, Vasiliy Bout, Erick Erickson, Shawn Heisey, Hossman, yonik)

specified locale.
(Erik Hatcher)

release

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.7
Carrot2 3.9.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
Jetty 9.2.11.v20150529

Upgrading from Solr 5.2


-----------------------

* SolrJ's CollectionAdminRequest class is now marked as abstract. Use one of its


concrete
sub-classes instead.

* Solr no longer supports forcefully unlocking an index.


This is no longer supported by the underlying Lucene locking
framework. The setting in solrconfig.xml has no effect anymore.
Background: If you use native lock factory, unlocking should
not be needed, because the locks are cleared after process
shutdown automatically by the operating system. If you are
using simple lock factory (not recommended) or hdfs lock
factory, you may need to manually unlock by deleting the lock
file from filesystem / HDFS.

* The zkCredientialsProvider element in solrcloud section of solr.xml is now


deprecated.
Use the correct spelling (zkCredentialsProvider) instead.

* class TransformerWithContext is deprecated . Use DocTransformer directly

* The "name" parameter in ADDREPLICA Collections API call has be deprecated. One
cannot specify
the core name for a replica. See SOLR-7499 for more info.

* The ShardHandler interface has changed. The interface used to provide a


`checkDistributed` function which doubled up in purpose to determine if the
request is distributed, and to prepare for distributed requests. This
unfortunately
meant that the object had to be instantiated even when the request is not
distributed. The task of initially determining if the request is distributed
is now done by SearchHandler using the distrib/shards parameters, and a
ShardHandler object is created only if the request is distributed. The interface
now has a `prepDistributed` function instead of the `checkDistributed` function,
which can then be used to prepare for the distributed request. Users with custom
ShardHandler implementations would need to modify their code to this effect.

* The system property "solr.solrxml.location" is not supported any more. Now,


solr.xml is first
looked up in zookeeper, and if not found, fallback to SOLR_HOME. See SOLR-7735
for more info.

* SOLR-6234: Scoring for query time join (Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-5882: score local parameter for block join query parser {!parent} (Andrey
Kudryavtsev, Mikhail Khludnev)

* SOLR-7799: Added includeIndexFieldFlags (backwards compatible default is true) to


/admin/luke.
When there are many fields in the index, setting this flag to false can

have finished loading from serving
requests. (Mark Miller, Timothy Potter, Ramkumar Aiyengar)

* SOLR-7529: CoreAdminHandler Reload throws NPE on null core name instead of a bad
request error. (Jellyfrog, Edward Ribeiro via shalin)

* SOLR-7781: JSON Facet API: Terms facet on string/text fields with sub-facets
caused
a bug that resulted in filter cache lookup misses as well as the filter cache
exceeding it's configured size. (yonik)

* SOLR-7810: map-reduce contrib script to set classpath for convenience refers to


example
rather than server. (Mark Miller)

instantiations,
cache method calls) (Christine Poerschke via Ramkumar Aiyengar)

* SOLR-7455: Terms facets with the JSON Facet API now defer calculating non-sorting
stats
until a second phase, after the top N facets are found. This improves performance
proportional to the number of non-sorting statistics being calculated in addition
to
the number of buckets and domain documents.
For Example: The facet request {type:terms, field:field1, facet:
{x:"unique(field2)"}}
saw a 7x improvement when field1 and 1M unique terms and field2 had 1000 unique
terms.
(yonik)

Jetty 9.2.10.v20150310

Upgrading from Solr 5.1


-----------------------

* A bug was introduced in Solr 4.10 that caused index time document boosts to
trigger excessive field
boosts in multivalued fields -- the result being that some field norms might be
excessively large.
This bug has now been fixed, but users of document boosts are strongly encouraged
to re-index.
See SOLR-7335 for more details.

* The Slice and Replica classes have been changed to use State enums instead of
string constants
to track the respective stats. Advanced users with client code manipulating
these objects will
need to update their code accordingly. See SOLR-7325 and SOLR-7336 for more
info.

* Solr has internally been upgraded to use Jetty 9. See SOLR-4839 for full details,
but there are
a few key details all Solr users should know when upgrading:

- It is no longer possible to run "java -jar start.jar" from inside the server
directory.
The bin/solr script is the only supported way to run Solr. This is necessary to
support
HTTP and HTTPS modules in Jetty which can be selectively enabled by the
bin/solr scripts.
In case you have a pressing need to run solr the old way, you can run
"java -jar start.jar --module=http" to get the same behavior as before.

- The way SSL support is configured has been changed. Before this release,
the SOLR_SSL_OPTS property configured in solr.in.sh (linux/mac) or solr.in.cmd
(windows)
was used to enable/disable SSL but starting in 5.2.0, new properties named as
SOLR_SSL_KEY_STORE, SOLR_SSL_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD, SOLR_SSL_TRUST_STORE,
SOLR_SSL_TRUST_STORE_PASSWORD, SOLR_SSL_NEED_CLIENT_AUTH and
SOLR_SSL_WANT_CLIENT_AUTH
have been introduced. The bin/solr scripts configure the SOLR_SSL_OPTS property
automatically based on the above new properties.
You should *not* configure the SOLR_SSL_OPTS property directly inside solr.in.
{sh,cmd}.

- Support for SOLR_SSL_PORT property has been removed. Instead use the regular
SOLR_PORT
property or specify the port while invoking the bin/solr script using the "-p"
switch.

- Furthermore, it is now possible to configure the HTTP client with


different SSL properties than the ones used for Jetty using the same files.

- Please refer to the "Enabling SSL" section in the Solr Reference Guide for
complete details.

* Support for pathPrefix has been completely removed from Solr. Since 5.0, Solr no
longer officially
supports being run as a webapp but allowed users to play around with the web.xml
to have a path prefix.
That would no longer be true. See SOLR-7500 for more info.

* The package structure under org.apache.solr.client.solrj.io has been changed to


support
the Streaming Expression Language (SOLR-7377). Any code written with the 5.1
Streaming API will have to
be updated to reflect these changes.

* Merge Policy's "noCFSRatio" is no longer set based on <useCompoundFile> element


in the indexConfig section
of solrconfig.xml. This means that Solr will start using Lucene's default for MP
"noCFSRatio", with this
new default Solr will decide if a segment should use cfs or not based on the size
of the segment in relation
the size of the complete index. For TieredMergePolicy for example (current
default), segments will use cfs
if they are less than 10% of the index, otherwise cfs is disabled. Old values for
this setting
(1.0 for useCompoundFile=true and 0.0 for useCompoundFile=false) as well as any
other value can be set
inside the <mergePolicy> element in solrconfig.xml. <useCompoundFile> will only
apply to newly created
segments. See SOLR-7463.

Detailed Change List


----------------------
New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-6637: Restore a Solr core from a backed up index.


Restore API Example -
http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/replication?
command=restore&name=backup_name
Restore Status API Example -
http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/replication?command=restorestatus
(Varun Thacker, noble, shalin)

* SOLR-7241, SOLR-7263, SOLR-7279, SOLR-7300, SOLR-7396, SOLR-7397, SOLR-7492:


Admin UI - Refactoring using AngularJS. More functionality moving the Admin
UI to Angular JS (Upayavira via Erick)

parameter.
(yonik, shalin)

* SOLR-7376: Return raw XML or JSON (in the appropriate writer) using
DocumentTransformers.
?fl=id,name,json_s:[json],xml_s:[xml] (ryan)

* SOLR-7422: Optional flatter form for the JSON Facet API via a "type" parameter:
top_authors : { type:terms, field:author, limit:5 } is equivalent to
top_authors : { terms : { field:author, limit:5 } }
(yonik)

* SOLR-7176: zkcli script can perfrom the CLUSTERPROP command without a running
Solr cluster
(Hrishikesh Gadre, Per Steffensen, Noble Paul)

* SOLR-7417: JSON Facet API - unique() is now implemented for numeric and date
fields.
(yonik)

* SOLR-7406: Add a new "facet.range.method" parameter to let users choose how to do


range
faceting between an implementation based on filters (previous algorithm, using
"facet.range.method=filter") or DocValues ("facet.range.method=dv").
Input parameters and output of both methods are the same. (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-7473: Facet Module (Json Facet API) range faceting now supports the
"mincount"
parameter in range facets to supress buckets less than that count. The default
for "mincount" remains 0 for range faceting.
Example: prices:{ type:range, field:price, mincount:1, start:0, end:100, gap:10 }
(yonik)

* SOLR-7437: Make HDFS transaction log replication factor configurable. (Mark


Miller)

* SOLR-7477: Multi-select faceting support for the Facet Module via the
"excludeTags"
parameter which disregards any matching tagged filters for that facet. Example:
& q=shoes
& fq={!tag=COLOR}color:blue
& json.facet={ colors:{type:terms, field:color, excludeTags=COLOR} }
(yonik)
* SOLR-7231: DIH-TikaEntityprocessor, create lat-lon field from Metadata
(Tim Allison via Noble Paul)

* SOLR-6220: Rule Based Replica Assignment during collection, shard creation


and replica creation (Noble Paul)

* SOLR-6968: New 'cardinality' option for stats.field, uses HyperLogLog to


efficiently
estimate the cardinality of a field w/bounded RAM. (hossman)

* SOLR-4392: Make it possible to specify AES encrypted password in dataconfig.xml


(Noble Paul)

* SOLR-7461: stats.field now supports individual local params for 'countDistinct'


and 'distinctValues'.
'calcdistinct' is still supported as an alias for both options (hossman)

* SOLR-7522: Facet Module - Implement field/terms faceting over single-valued


numeric fields. (yonik)

* SOLR-7275: Authorization framework for Solr. It defines an interface and a


mechanism to create,
load, and use an Authorization plugin. (Noble Paul, Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Anshum
Gupta)

* SOLR-7377: Solr Streaming Expressions (Dennis Gove, Joel Bernstein, Steven Bower)

* SOLR-7553: Facet Analytics Module: new "hll" function that uses HyperLogLog to
calculate
distributed cardinality. The original "unique" function is still available.
Example: json.facet={ numProducts : "hll(product_id)" }
(yonik)

* SOLR-7546: bin/post (and SimplePostTool in -Dauto=yes mode) now sends rather than
skips files
without a known content type, as "application/octet-stream", provided it still is
in the
allowed filetypes setting. (ehatcher)

* SOLR-7274: Pluggable authentication module in Solr. This defines an interface and


a mechanism to create,
load, and use an Authentication plugin. (Noble Paul, Ishan Chattopadhyaya,
Gregory Chanan, Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-7379: (experimental) New spatial RptWithGeometrySpatialField, based on


CompositeSpatialStrategy,
which blends RPT indexes for speed with serialized geometry for accuracy.
Includes a Lucene segment based
in-memory shape cache. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-7465, SOLR-7610: New file indexing example, under example/files. (Esther


Quansah, Erik Hatcher)

* SOLR-7468: Kerberos authenticaion plugin for Solr. This would allow running a
Kerberized Solr.
(Noble Paul, Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Gregory Chanan, Anshum Gupta)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-6709: Fix QueryResponse to deal with the "expanded" section when using the
XMLResponseParser
(Varun Thacker, Joel Bernstein)

* SOLR-7066: autoAddReplicas feature has bug when selecting replacement nodes.


(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-7370: FSHDFSUtils#recoverFileLease tries to recover the lease every one

* SOLR-7380: SearchHandler should not try to load runtime components in inform()


(Noble Paul)

* SOLR-7385: The clusterstatus API now returns the config set used to create a
collection
inside a 'configName' key. (Shai Erera, shalin)

* SOLR-7401: Fixed a NullPointerException when concurrently creating and deleting


collections,
while accessing other collections. (Shai Erera)

* SOLR-7412: Fixed range.facet.other parameter for distributed requests.


(Will Miller, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-6087: SolrIndexSearcher makes no DelegatingCollector.finish() call when


IndexSearcher
throws an expected exception. (Christine Poerschke via shalin)

* SOLR-7420: Overseer stats are not reset on loss of ZK connection. (Jessica Cheng,
shalin)

* SOLR-7392: Fix SOLR_JAVA_MEM and SOLR_OPTS customizations in solr.in.sh being


ignored
(Ramkumar Aiyengar, Ere Maijala)

* SOLR-7426: SolrConfig#getConfigOverlay does not clean up it's resources. (Mark


Miller)

* SOLR-6665: ZkController.publishAndWaitForDownStates can return before all local


cores are
marked as 'down' if multiple replicas with the same core name exist in the
cluster.
(shalin)

* SOLR-7418: Check and raise a SolrException instead of an NPE when an invalid doc
id is sent
to the MLTQParser. (Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-7443: Implemented range faceting over date fields in the new facet module
(JSON Facet API). (yonik)

* SOLR-7440: DebugComponent does not return the right requestPurpose for pivot
facet refinements.
(shalin)
* SOLR-7408: Listeners set by SolrCores on config directories in ZK could be
removed if collections
are created/deleted in paralle against the same config set. (Shai Erera, Anshum
Gupta)

* SOLR-7450: Fix edge case which could cause `bin/solr stop` to hang forever
(Ramkumar Aiyengar)

* SOLR-7157: initParams must support tags other than appends, defaults and,
invariants (Noble Paul)

* SOLR-7387: Facet Module - distributed search didn't work when sorting terms
facet by min, max, avg, or unique functions. (yonik)

* SOLR-7469: Fix check-licenses to correctly detect if start.jar.sha1 is incorrect


(hossman)

* SOLR-7449: solr/server/etc/jetty-https-ssl.xml hard codes the key store file and


password rather
than pulling them from the sysprops defined in solr/bin/solr.in.{sh,cmd}

* SOLR-7470: Fix sample data to eliminate file order dependency for successful
indexing, also
fixed SolrCloudExampleTest to help catch this in the future. (hossman)

* SOLR-7478: UpdateLog#close shuts down it's executor with interrupts before


running it's close logic,
possibly preventing a clean close. (Mark Miller)

cardinality
fields. (Andy Crossen, yonik)

(Noble Paul)

* SOLR-7514: SolrClient.getByIds fails with ClassCastException (Tom Farnworth,


Ramkumar Aiyengar)

* SOLR-7531: config API shows a few keys merged together (Noble Paul)

(Ishan Chattopadhyaya via Ramkumar Aiyengar)

* SOLR-7503: Recovery after ZK session expiration should happen in parallel for all
cores
using the thread-pool managed by ZkContainer instead of a single thread.
(Jessica Cheng Mallet, Timothy Potter, shalin, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-7335: Fix doc boosts to no longer be multiplied in each field value in


multivalued fields that
are not used in copyFields (Shingo Sasaki via hossman)
* SOLR-7585: Fix NoSuchElementException in LFUCache resulting from heavy writes
making concurrent put() calls. (Maciej Zasada via Shawn Heisey)

* SOLR-7587: Seeding bucket versions from index when the firstSearcher event fires
has a race condition
that leads to an infinite wait on VersionInfo's ReentrantReadWriteLock because
the read-lock acquired
during a commit cannot be upgraded to a write-lock needed to block updates;
solution is to move the
call out of the firstSearcher event path and into the SolrCore constructor.
(Timothy Potter)

* SOLR-7625: Ensure that the max value for seeding version buckets is updated after
recovery even if
the UpdateLog is not replayed. (Timothy Potter)

* SOLR-7610: Fix VelocityResponseWriter's $resource.locale to accurately report

(ehatcher)

* SOLR-7614: Distributed pivot facet refinement was broken due to a single


correlation counter
used across multiple requests as if it was private to each request. (yonik)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-7324: IndexFetcher does not need to call isIndexStale if full copy is


already needed
(Stephan Lagraulet via Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-7547: Short circuit SolrDisptachFilter for static content request. Right now
it creates
a new HttpSolrCall object and tries to process it. (Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-7333: Make the poll queue time a leader uses when distributing updates to
replicas
configurable and use knowledge that a batch is being processed to poll
efficiently.
(Timothy Potter)

* SOLR-7332: Initialize the highest value for all version buckets with the max
value from
the index or recent updates to avoid unnecessary lookups to the index to check
for reordered
updates when processing new documents. (Timothy Potter, yonik)

* SOLR-5855: DefaultSolrHighlighter now re-uses the document's term vectors


instance when highlighting
more than one field. Applies to the standard and FVH highlighters. (David Smiley,
Daniel Debray)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-6865: Upgrade HttpClient to 4.4.1 (Shawn Heisey)


* SOLR-7358: TestRestoreCore fails in Windows (Ishan Chattopadhyaya via Varun
Thacker)

* SOLR-7371: Make DocSet implement Accountable to estimate memory usage. (yonik,


shalin)

* SOLR-7381: Improve logging by adding node name in MDC in SolrCloud mode and
adding MDC to
all thread pools. A new MDCAwareThreadPoolExecutor is introduced and usages of
Executors#newFixedThreadPool, #newSingleThreadExecutor, #newCachedThreadPool as
well as
ThreadPoolExecutor directly is now forbidden in Solr. MDC keys are now exposed in
thread
names automatically so that a thread dump can give hints on what the thread was
doing.
Uncaught exceptions thrown by tasks in the pool are logged along with submitter's
stack trace.
(shalin)

* SOLR-7384: Fix spurious failures in FullSolrCloudDistribCmdsTest. (shalin)

* SOLR-6692: Default highlighter changes:


- hl.maxAnalyzedChars now applies cumulatively on a multi-valied field.
- fragment ranking on a multi-valued field should be more relevant.
- hl.usePhraseHighlighter is now toggleable on a per-field basis.
- Much more extensible (get values from another source; return snippet scores and
offsets).
- When using hl.maxMultiValuedToMatch with hl.preserveMulti, only count matched
snippets.
(David Smiley)

* SOLR-6886: Removed redundant size check and added missing calls to


DelegatingCollection.finish inside Grouping code. (Christine Poerschke via
shalin)

* SOLR-7421: RecoveryAfterSoftCommitTest fails frequently on Jenkins due to full


index
replication taking longer than 30 seconds. (Timothy Potter, shalin)

* SOLR-7081: Add new test case to test if create/delete/re-create collections work.


(Christine Poerschke via Ramkumar Aiyengar)

* SOLR-7467: Upgrade t-digest to 3.1 (hossman)

* SOLR-7471: Stop requiring docValues for interval faceting (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-7391: Use a time based expiration cache for one off HDFS FileSystem
instances.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-5213: Log when shard splitting unexpectedly leads to documents going to


no or multiple shards (Christine Poerschke, Ramkumar Aiyengar)

* SOLR-7425: Improve MDC based logging format. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4839: Upgrade Jetty to 9.2.10.v20150310 and restlet-jee to 2.3.0


(Bill Bell, Timothy Potter, Uwe Schindler, Mark Miller, Steve Rowe, Steve Davids,
shalin)
* SOLR-7457: Make DirectoryFactory publishing MBeanInfo extensible.
(Mike Drob via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-7325: Slice.getState() now returns a State enum instead of a String. This


helps
clarify the states a Slice can be in, as well comparing the state of a Slice.
(Shai Erera)

* SOLR-7336: Added Replica.getState() and removed ZkStateReader state-related


constants.
You should use Replica.State to compare a replica's state. (Shai Erera)

* SOLR-7487: Fix check-example-lucene-match-version Ant task to check


luceneMatchVersion
in solr/server/solr/configsets instead of example and harden error checking /
validation
logic. (hossman, Timothy Potter)

* SOLR-7409: When there are multiple dataimport handlers defined, the admin UI
was listing them in a random order. Now they are sorted in a natural order
that handles numbers properly. (Jellyfrog via Shawn Heisey)

* SOLR-7484: Refactor SolrDispatchFilter to extract all Solr specific


implementation detail
to HttpSolrCall and also extract methods from within the current SDF.doFilter(..)
logic
making things easier to manage. HttpSolrCall converts the processing to a 3-step
process
i.e. Construct, Init, and Call so the context of the request would be available
after Init
and before the actual call operation. (Anshum Gupta, Noble Paul)

* SOLR-6878: Allow symmetric lists of synonyms to be added using the managed


synonym REST
API to support legacy expand=true type mappings; previously the API only allowed
adding
explicit mappings, with this feature you can now add a list and have the mappings
expanded when the update is applied (Timothy Potter, Vitaliy Zhovtyuk, hossman)

* SOLR-7102: bin/solr should activate cloud mode if ZK_HOST is set (Timothy Potter)

* SOLR-7500: Remove pathPrefix from SolrDispatchFilter as Solr no longer runs as a


part
of a bigger webapp. (Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-7243: CloudSolrClient was always returning SERVER_ERROR for exceptions,


even when a more relevant ErrorCode was available, via SolrException. Now
the actual ErrorCode is used when available.
(Hrishikesh Gadre via Shawn Heisey)

* SOLR-7544: CollectionsHandler refactored to be more modular (Noble Paul)

* SOLR-7532: Removed occurrences of the unused 'commitIntervalLowerBound' property


for
updateHandler elements from Solr configuration. (Marius Grama via shalin)

* SOLR-7541: Removed CollectionsHandler#createNodeIfNotExists. All calls made to


this method now call
ZkCmdExecutor#ensureExists as they were doing the same thing. Also
ZkCmdExecutor#ensureExists now respects the
CreateMode passed to it. (Varun Thacker)

* SOLR-6820: Make the number of version buckets used by the UpdateLog configurable
as
increasing beyond the default 256 has been shown to help with high volume
indexing
performance in SolrCloud; helps overcome a limitation where Lucene uses the
request
thread to perform expensive index housekeeping work. (Mark Miller, yonik, Timothy
Potter)

* SOLR-7463: Stop forcing MergePolicy's "NoCFSRatio" based on the IWC


"useCompoundFile" configuration
(Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-7582: Allow auto-commit to be set with system properties in


data_driven_schema_configs and
enable auto soft-commits for the bin/solr -e cloud example using the Config API.
(Timothy Potter)

* SOLR-7183: Fix Locale blacklisting for Minikdc based tests. (Ishan


Chattopadhyaya, hossman
via Anshum Gupta)

* SOLR-7662: Refactored response writing to consolidate the logic in one place


(Noble Paul)

* SOLR-7110: Added option to optimize JavaBinCodec to minimize string Object


creation (Noble Paul)

* Tika's runtime dependency of 'jhighlight' was removed as the latter was found to
contain some LGPL-only code. Until that's resolved by Tika, you can download the
.jar yourself and place it under contrib/extraction/lib.

* The _text catch-all field in data_driven_schema_configs has been renamed to


_text_.

================== 5.0.0 ==================

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this
release.

NOTE: Solr 5.0 only supports creating and removing SolrCloud collections through
the collections API, unlike previous versions. While not using the
collections API may still work in 5.0, it is unsupported, not recommended,
and the behavior will change in a 5.x release.

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.7
Carrot2 3.9.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
Jetty 8.1.10.v20130312

Upgrading from Solr 4.x


----------------------

* Apache Solr has no support for Lucene/Solr 3.x and earlier indexes anymore.
Be sure to run Lucene's IndexUpgrader on the previous 4.10 version if you might
still have old segments in your index. Alternatively fully optimize your index
with Solr 4.10 to make sure it consists only of one up-to-date index segment.

* The "file" attribute of infoStream in solrconfig.xml is removed. Control this


via your logging configuration (org.apache.solr.update.LoggingInfoStream)
instead.
* UniqFieldsUpdateProcessorFactory no longer supports the <lst named="fields"> init
param style that was deprecated in Solr 4.5. If you are still using this syntax,
update your configs to use <arr name="fieldName"> instead. See SOLR-4249 for more
details.

* The following legacy numeric and date field types, deprecated in Solr 4.8, are no
longer supported: BCDIntField, BCDLongField, BCDStrField, IntField, LongField,
FloatField, DoubleField, SortableIntField, SortableLongField, SortableFloatField,
SortableDoubleField, and DateField. Convert these types in your schema to the
corresponding Trie-based field type and then re-index. See SOLR-5936 for more
information.

* getAnalyzer() in IndexSchema and FieldType that was deprecated in Solr 4.9 has
been removed. Use getIndexAnalyzer() instead. See SOLR-6022 for more
information.

* The spellcheck response format has changed, affecting xml and json clients. In
particular, the "correctlySpelled" and "collations" subsections have been moved
outside
the "suggestions" subsection, and now are directly under "spellcheck".
See SOLR-3029 for more information.

* The CollectionsAPI SolrJ calls createCollection(), reloadCollection(),


deleteCollection(), requestStatus(), createShard(), splitShard(), deleteShard(),
createAlias() and deleteAlias() which were deprecated in 4.11 have been removed.
The new usage involves a builder style construction of the call.

* The OVERSEERSTATUS API returns new key names for operations such as "create"
for "createcollection", "delete" for "removecollection" and "deleteshard" for
"removeshard".

* If you have been using the /update/json/docs to index documents, SOLR-6617


introduces
backward incompatible change. the key names created are fully qualified paths of
keys .
If you need the old functionality back , please add an extra parameter f=/**
example: /update/json/docs?f=/**

* Bugs fixed in several ValueSource functions may result in different behavior in


situations where some documents do not have values for fields wrapped in other
value
sources. Users who want to preserve the previous behavior may need to wrap
fields
in the "def()" function. Example: changing "fl=sum(fieldA,fieldB)" to
"fl=sum(def(fieldA,0.0),def(fieldB,0.0))". See LUCENE-5961 for more details.

* AdminHandlers is deprecated, /admin/* are implicitly defined, /get, /replication


and
handlers are also implicitly registered (refer to SOLR-6792)

* SolrCore.reload(ConfigSet coreConfig, SolrCore prev) was deprecated in 4.10.3 and


removed in 5.0. use SolrCore.reload(ConfigSet coreConfig). See SOLR-5864.

* The "termIndexInterval" option in solrconfig.xml has been a No-Op in the default


codec
since Solr 4.0, and has been removed completely in 5.0. If you get an "Illegal
parameter
'termIndexInterval'" error when upgrading, you can safely remove this option from
your
configs. If you have a strong need to configure this, you must explicitly
configure your
schema with a custom codec. See SOLR-6560 and for more details.

* The "checkIntegrityAtMerge" option in solrconfig.xml is now a No-Op and should be


removed
from any solrconfig.xml files -- these integrity checks are now done
automatically at a very
low level during the segment merging process. See SOLR-6834 for more details.

* SimplePostTool (post.jar) no longer defaults to collection1, making either of


core/collection
name or update URL mandatory. An existing call without an explicit update URL
needs to now
have the core/collection name passed as "-Dc=<collection/core name>" e.g.:
java -jar -Dc=<collection_name> post.jar *.xml (new call with collection name)
See SOLR-6852 for more details.

* Relative paths specified in the solr.xml coreRootDirectory parameter for core


discovery are now resolved relative to SOLR_HOME, rather than cwd. See
SOLR-6718.

* SolrServer and associated classes have been deprecated. Applications using


SolrJ should use the equivalent SolrClient classes instead.

* Spatial fields originating from Solr 4 (e.g. SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeFieldType,


BBoxField)
have the 'units' attribute deprecated, now replaced with 'distanceUnits'. If you
change it to
a unit other than 'degrees' (or if you don't specify it, which will default to
kilometers if
geo=true), then be sure to update maxDistErr as it's in those units. If you keep
units=degrees
then it should be backwards compatible but you'll get a deprecation warning on
startup. See
SOLR-6797.

* The <nrtMode> configuration in solrconfig.xml has been discontinued and should be


removed from
solrconfig.xml. Solr defaults to using NRT searchers regardless of the value in
configuration
and a warning is logged on startup if the solrconfig.xml has <nrtMode> specified.

* There was an old spatial syntax to specify a circle using Circle(x,y d=...) which
should be
replaced with simply using {!geofilt} (if you can) or BUFFER(POINT(x y),d).
Likewise a rect syntax
comprised of minX minY maxX maxY that should now be replaced with
ENVELOPE(minX, maxX, maxY, minY).

* Due to changes in the underlying commons-codec package, users of the


BeiderMorseFilterFactory
will need to rebuild their indexes after upgrading. See LUCENE-6058 for more
details.

* CachedSqlEntityProcessor has been removed, use SqlEntityProcessor with the


cacheImpl parameter.

* HttpDataSource has been removed, use URLDataSource instead.


* LegacyHTMLStripCharFilter has been removed

* CoreAdminRequest.persist() call has been removed. All changes made via


CoreAdmin are persistent.

* SpellCheckResponse.getSuggestions() and getSuggestionFrequencies() have been


removed, use getAlternatives() and getAlternativeFrequencies() instead.

* SolrQuery deprecated methods have been removed:


- setMissing() is now setFacetMissing()
- getFacetSort() is now getFacetSortString()
- setFacetSort(boolean) should instead use setFacetSort(String) with
FacetParams.FACET_SORT_COUNT or FacetParams.FACET_SORT_INDEX
- setSortField(String, ORDER) should use setSort(SortClause)
- addSortField(String, ORDER) should use addSort(SortClause)
- removeSortField(String, ORDER) should use removeSort(SortClause)
- getSortFields() should use getSorts()
- set/getQueryType() should use set/getRequestHandler()

* ClientUtil deprecated date methods have been removed, use DateUtil instead

* FacetParams.FacetDateOther has been removed, use FacetRangeOther

* ShardParams.SHARD_KEYS has been removed, use ShardParams._ROUTE_

* The 'old-style' solr.xml format is no longer supported, and cores must be


defined using core.properties files. See
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Format+of+solr.xml

(Uwe Schindler)

================== 4.10.0 =================

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this
release
Versions of Major Components
---------------------
Apache Tika 1.5 (with upgraded Apache POI 3.10.1)
Carrot2 3.9.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6

Upgrading from Solr 4.9


----------------------

* In Solr 3.6, all primitive field types were changed to omit norms by default when
the
schema version is 1.5 or greater (SOLR-3140), but TrieDateField's default was
mistakenly
not changed. As of Solr 4.10, TrieDateField omits norms by default (see SOLR-
6211).

* Creating a SolrCore via CoreContainer.create() no longer requires an


additional call to CoreContainer.register() to make it available to clients
(see SOLR-6170).

* CoreContainer.remove() has been removed. You should now use


CoreContainer.unload() to
delete a SolrCore (see SOLR-6232).

* solr.xml parsing has been improved to better account for the expected data types
of
various options. As part of this fix, additional error checking has also been
added to
provide errors in the event of duplicated options, or unknown option names that
may
indicate a typo. Users who have modified their solr.xml in the past and now
upgrade may
get errors on startup if they have typos or unexpected options specified in their
solr.xml
file. (See SOLR-5746 for more information.)

* SOLR-6232: You can now unload/delete cores that have failed to initialize (Alan
Woodward)

new path /update/json/docs (Noble Paul , hossman, Yonik Seeley, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-6302: UpdateRequestHandlers are registered implicitly /update ,


/update/json, /update/csv , /update/json/docs (Noble Paul)

* SOLR-6318: New "terms" QParser for efficiently filtering documents by a list of


values. For

when
an error occurs. (ehatcher)

================== 4.8.0 ==================

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.5
Carrot2 3.9.0
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6

Upgrading from Solr 4.7


----------------------

* In previous versions of Solr, Terms that exceeded Lucene's MAX_TERM_LENGTH were


silently ignored when indexing documents. Beginning with Solr 4.8, a document
an error will be generated when attempting to index a document with a term
that is too large. If you wish to continue to have large terms ignored,
use "solr.LengthFilterFactory" in all of your Analyzers. See LUCENE-5472 for
more details.

* Solr 4.8 requires Java 7 or greater, Java 8 is verified to be


compatible and may bring some performance improvements. When using
Oracle Java 7 or OpenJDK 7, be sure to not use the GA build 147 or
update versions u40, u45 and u51! We recommend using u55 or later.
An overview of known JVM bugs can be found on
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/lucene/JavaBugs

* ZooKeeper is upgraded from 3.4.5 to 3.4.6.

* <fields> and <types> tags have been deprecated. There is no longer any reason to
keep them in the schema file, they may be safely removed. This allows intermixing
of
<fieldType>, <field> and <copyField> definitions if desired. Currently, these
tags
are supported so either style may be implemented. TBD is whether they'll be
deprecated formally for 5.0

Detailed Change List

do not modify the index, and/or redundant commits. (hossman)

* SOLR-5884: When recovery is cancelled, any call to the leader to wait to see
the replica in the right state for recovery should be aborted. (Mark Miller)

Security
----------------------

* SOLR-4882: SolrResourceLoader was restricted to only allow access to resource


files below the instance dir. The reason for this is security related: Some
Solr components allow to pass in resource paths via REST parameters
(e.g. XSL stylesheets, velocity templates,...) and load them via resource
loader. For backwards compatibility, this security feature can be disabled
by a new system property: solr.allow.unsafe.resourceloading=true

Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5

Upgrading from Solr 4.4.0


----------------------
* XML configuration parsing is now more strict about situations where a single
setting is allowed but multiple values are found. In the past, one value
would be chosen arbitrarily and silently. Starting with 4.5, configuration
parsing will fail with an error in situations like this. If you see error
messages such as "solrconfig.xml contains more than one value for config path:
XXXXX" or "Found Z configuration sections when at most 1 is allowed matching
expression: XXXXX" check your solrconfig.xml file for multiple occurrences of
XXXXX and delete the ones that you do not wish to use. See SOLR-4953 &
SOLR-5108 for more details.

* In the past, schema.xml parsing would silently ignore "default" or "required"


options specified on <dynamicField/> declarations. Beginning with 4.5,
attempting
to do configured these on a dynamic field will cause an init error. If you
encounter one of these errors when upgrading an existing schema.xml, you can
safely remove these attributes, regardless of their value, from your config and
Solr will continue to behave exactly as it did in previous versions. See
SOLR-5227 for more details.

* The UniqFieldsUpdateProcessorFactory has been improved to support all of the


FieldMutatingUpdateProcessorFactory selector options. The <lst named="fields">
init param option is now deprecated and should be replaced with the more standard
<arr name="fieldName">. See SOLR-4249 for more details.

* UpdateRequestExt has been removed as part of SOLR-4816. You should use


UpdateRequest
instead.

* CloudSolrServer can now use multiple threads to add documents by default. This is
a
small change in runtime semantics when using the bulk add method - you will still
end up with the same exception on a failure, but some documents beyond the one
that
failed may have made it in. To get the old, single threaded behavior, set
parallel updates
to false on the CloudSolrServer instance.

be required, or have a default value. (hossman)

* SOLR-5231: Fixed a bug with the behavior of BoolField that caused documents w/o
a value for the field to act as if the value were true in functions if no other
documents in the same index segment had a value of true.
(Robert Muir, hossman, yonik)

* SOLR-5233: The "deleteshard" collections API doesn't wait for cluster state to
update,
can fail if some nodes of the deleted shard were down and had incorrect logging.
(Christine Poerschke, shalin)

* SOLR-5150: HdfsIndexInput may not fully read requested bytes. (Mark Miller,
Patrick Hunt)

* SOLR-5240: All solr cores will now be loaded in parallel (as opposed to a fixed
number)
in zookeeper mode to avoid deadlocks due to replicas waiting for other replicas
to come up. (yonik)

* SOLR-5243: Killing a shard in one collection can result in leader election in a


different
collection if they share the same coreNodeName. (yonik, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-5281: IndexSchema log message was printing '[null]' instead of


'[<core name>]' (Jun Ohtani via Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-5279: Implicit properties don't seem to exist on core RELOAD


(elyograg, hossman, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-5291: Solrj does not propagate the root cause to the user for many errors.
(Mark Miller)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-5044: Admin UI - Note on Core-Admin about directories while creating


core (steffkes)

* SOLR-5134: Have HdfsIndexOutput extend BufferedIndexOutput.


(Mark Miller, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-5057: QueryResultCache should not related with the order of fq's list
(Feihong Huang via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-4816: CloudSolrServer now uses multiple threads to send updates by default.


(Joel Bernstein via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3530: Better error messages / Content-Type validation in SolrJ. (Mark


Miller, hossman)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-4708: Enable ClusteringComponent by default in collection1 example.


The solr.clustering.enabled system property is set to 'true' by default.
(ehatcher, Dawid Weiss)

* SOLR-4914, SOLR-5162: Factor out core list persistence and discovery into a
new CoresLocator interface. (Alan Woodward, Shawn Heisey)

* SOLR-5056: Improve type safety of ConfigSolr class. (Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-4951: Better randomization of MergePolicy in Solr tests (hossman)

* SOLR-4953, SOLR-5108: Make XML Configuration parsing fail if an xpath matches


multiple nodes when only a single value or plugin instance is expected.
(hossman)

* The routing parameter "shard.keys" is deprecated as part of SOLR-5017 .The new


parameter name is '_route_' .
The old parameter should continue to work for another release (Noble Paul)

* SOLR-5173: Solr-core's Maven configuration includes test-only Hadoop


dependencies as indirect compile-time dependencies.
(Chris Collins, Steve Rowe)

================== 4.4.0 ==================

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.4
Carrot2 3.6.2
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5

Upgrading from Solr 4.3.0


----------------------

* TieredMergePolicy and the various subtypes of LogMergePolicy no longer have


an explicit "setUseCompoundFile" method. Instead the behavior of new
segments is determined by the IndexWriter configuration, and the MergePolicy
is only consulted to determine if merge segments should use the compound
file format (based on the value of "setNoCFSRatio"). If you have explicitly
configured one of these classes using <mergePolicy> and include an init arg
like this...
<bool name="useCompoundFile">true</bool>
...this will now be treated as if you specified...
<useCompoundFile>true</useCompoundFile>
...directly on the <indexConfig> (overriding any value already set using that
syntax) and a warning will be logged to updated your configuration. Users
with an explicitly declared <mergePolicy> are encouraged to review the
current javadocs for their MergePolicy subclass and review their configured
options carefully. See SOLR-4941, SOLR-4934 and LUCENE-5038 for more
information.

* SOLR-4778: The signature of LogWatcher.registerListener has changed, from


(ListenerConfig, CoreContainer) to (ListenerConfig). Users implementing their
own LogWatcher classes will need to change their code accordingly.

* LUCENE-5063: ByteField and ShortField have been deprecated and will be removed
in 5.0. If you are still using these field types, you should migrate your
fields to TrieIntField.
Detailed Change List
----------------------

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-3251: Dynamically add fields to schema. (Steve Rowe, Robert Muir, yonik)

* SOLR-4761, SOLR-4976: Add option to plugin a merged segment warmer into


solrconfig.xml.
Info about segments warmed in the background is available via infostream.
(Mark Miller, Ryan Ernst, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)

* SOLR-3240: Add "spellcheck.collateMaxCollectDocs" option so that when testing


potential Collations against the index, SpellCheckComponent will only collect
n documents, thereby estimating the hit-count. This is a performance
optimization
in cases where exact hit-counts are unnecessary. Also, when
"collateExtendedResults"
is false, this optimization is always made (James Dyer).

* SOLR-4785: New MaxScoreQParserPlugin returning max() instead of sum() of terms


(janhoy)

* SOLR-4234: Add support for binary files in ZooKeeper. (Eric Pugh via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4048: Add findRecursive method to NamedList. (Shawn Heisey)

* SOLR-4228: SolrJ's SolrPing object has new methods for ping, enable, and
disable. (Shawn Heisey, hossman, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-4893: Extend FieldMutatingUpdateProcessor.ConfigurableFieldNameSelector


to enable checking whether a field matches any schema field. To select field
names that don't match any fields or dynamic fields in the schema, add
<bool name="fieldNameMatchesSchemaField">false</bool> to an update
processor's configuration in solrconfig.xml. (Steve Rowe, hossman)

* SOLR-4921: Admin UI now supports adding documents to Solr (gsingers, steffkes)

* SOLR-4916: Add support to write and read Solr index files and transaction log
files to and from HDFS. (phunt, Mark Miller, Gregory Chanan)

* SOLR-4892: Add FieldMutatingUpdateProcessorFactory subclasses


Parse{Date,Integer,Long,Float,Double,Boolean}UpdateProcessorFactory. These
factories have a default selector that matches all fields that either don’t
match any schema field, or are in the schema with the corresponding
typeClass. If they see a value that is not a CharSequence, or can't parse
the value, they leave it as is. For multi-valued fields, these processors
will not convert any values unless all are first successfully parsed, or
already are instances of the target class. Ordering the processors, e.g.
[Boolean, Long, Double, Date] will allow e.g. values ["2", "5", "8.6"] to
be left alone by the Boolean and Long processors, but then converted by the
Double processor. (Steve Rowe, hossman)

* SOLR-4972: Add PUT command to ZkCli tool. (Roman Shaposhnik via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4973: Adding getter method for defaultCollection on CloudSolrServer.


(Furkan KAMACI via Mark Miller)
* SOLR-4897: Add solr/example/example-schemaless/, an example config set
for schemaless mode. (Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-4655: Add option to have Overseer assign generic node names so that
new addresses can host shards without naming confusion. (Mark Miller, Anshum
Gupta)

* SOLR-4977: Add option to send IndexWriter's infostream to the logging system.


(Ryan Ernst via Robert Muir)

* SOLR-4693: A "deleteshard" collections API that unloads all replicas of a given


shard and then removes it from the cluster state. It will remove only those
shards
which are INACTIVE or have no range (created for custom sharding).
(Anshum Gupta, shalin)

* SOLR-5003: CSV Update Handler supports optionally adding the line number/row id
to
a document (gsingers)

* SOLR-5010: Add support for creating copy fields to the Schema REST API (gsingers)

* SOLR-4991: Register QParserPlugins as SolrInfoMBeans (ehatcher)

* SOLR-4943: Add a new system wide info admin handler that exposes the system info
that could previously only be retrieved using a SolrCore. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3076: Block joins. Documents and their sub-documents must be indexed


as a block.
{!parent which=<allParents>}<someChildren> takes in a query that matches child
documents and results in matches on their parents.
{!child of=<allParents>}<someParents> takes in a query that matches some parent
documents and results in matches on their children.
(Mikhail Khludnev, Vadim Kirilchuk, Alan Woodward, Tom Burton-West, Mike
McCandless,
hossman, yonik)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-4333: edismax parser to not double-escape colons if already escaped by


the client application (James Dyer, Robert J. van der Boon)

* SOLR-4776: Solrj doesn't return "between" count in range facets


(Philip K. Warren via shalin)

* SOLR-4616: HitRatio on caches is now exposed over JMX MBeans as a float.


(Greg Bowyer)

* SOLR-4803: Fixed core discovery mode (ie: new style solr.xml) to treat
'collection1' as the default core name. (hossman)

* SOLR-4790: Throw an error if a core has the same name as another core, both old
and
new style solr.xml

* SOLR-4842: Fix facet.field local params from affecting other facet.field's.


(ehatcher, hossman)

* SOLR-4814: If a SolrCore cannot be created it should remove any information it


published about itself from ZooKeeper. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4863: Removed non-existent attribute sourceId from dynamic JMX stats


to fix AttributeNotFoundException (suganuma, hossman via shalin)

* SOLR-4891: JsonLoader should preserve field value types from the JSON content
stream.
(Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-4805: SolrCore#reload should not call preRegister and publish a DOWN state
to
ZooKeeper. (Mark Miller, Jared Rodriguez)

* SOLR-4899: When reconnecting after ZooKeeper expiration, we need to be willing to


wait
forever, not just for 30 seconds. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4920: JdbcDataSource incorrectly suppresses exceptions when retrieving a


connection from
a JNDI context and falls back to trying to use DriverManager to obtain a
connection. Additionally,
if a SQLException is thrown while initializing a connection, such as in
setAutoCommit(), the
connection will not be closed. (Chris Eldredge via shalin)

* SOLR-4915: The root cause should be returned to the user when a SolrCore create
call fails.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4925 : Collection create throws NPE when 'numShards' param is missing (Noble
Paul)

* SOLR-4910: persisting solr.xml is broken. More stringent testing of persistence


fixed
up a number of issues and several bugs with persistence. Among them are
- don't persisting implicit properties
- should persist zkHost in the <solr> tag (user's list)
- reloading a core that has transient="true" returned an error. reload should
load
a transient core if it's not yet loaded.
- No longer persisting loadOnStartup or transient core properties if they were
not
specified in the original solr.xml
- Testing flushed out the fact that you couldn't swap a core marked
transient=true
loadOnStartup=false because it hadn't been loaded yet.
- SOLR-4862, CREATE fails to persist schema, config, and dataDir
- SOLR-4363, not persisting coreLoadThreads in <solr> tag
- SOLR-3900, logWatcher properties not persisted
- SOLR-4850, cores defined as loadOnStartup=true, transient=false can't be
searched
(Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-4923: Commits to non leaders as part of a request that also contain updates
can execute out of order. (hossman, Ricardo Merizalde, Mark Miller)
* SOLR-4932: persisting solr.xml saves some parameters it shouldn't when they
weren't
defined in the original. Benign since the default values are saved, but still
incorrect.
(Erick Erickson, thanks Shawn Heisey for helping test!)

* SOLR-4934, SOLR-4941: Fix handling of <mergePolicy> init arg


"useCompoundFile" needed after changes in LUCENE-5038 (hossman)

* SOLR-4456: Admin UI: Displays dashboard even if Solr is down (steffkes)

* SOLR-4949: UI Analysis page dropping characters from input box (steffkes)

* SOLR-4960: Fix race conditions in shutdown of CoreContainer


and getCore that could cause a request to attempt to use a core that
has shut down. (yonik)

* SOLR-4926: Fixed rare replication bug that normally only manifested when
using compound file format. (yonik, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4974: Outgrowth of SOLR-4960 that includes transient cores and pending cores
(Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-3369: shards.tolerant=true is broken for group queries


(Russell Black, Martijn van Groningen, Jabouille jean Charles, Ryan McKinley via
shalin)

* SOLR-4452: Hunspell stemmer should not merge duplicate dictionary entries


(janhoy)

* SOLR-5000: ManagedIndexSchema doesn't persist uniqueKey tag after calling


addFields
method. (Jun Ohtani, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-4982: Creating a core while referencing system properties looks like it


loses files
Actually, instanceDir, config, dataDir and schema are not dereferenced properly
when creating cores that reference sys vars (e.g. &dataDir=${dir}). In the
dataDir
case in particular this leads to the index being put in a directory literally
named
${dir} but on restart the sysvar will be properly dereferenced.

* SOLR-4788: Multiple Entities DIH delta import: dataimporter.


[entityName].last_index_time
is empty. (chakming wong, James Dyer via shalin)

* SOLR-4978: Time is stripped from datetime column when imported into Solr date
field
if convertType=true. (Bill Au, shalin)

* SOLR-5019: spurious ConcurrentModificationException when spell check component


was in use with filters. (yonik)

* SOLR-5018: The Overseer should avoid publishing the state for collections that do
not
exist under the /collections zk node. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-5028,SOLR-5029: ShardHandlerFactory was not being created properly when


using new-style solr.xml, and was not being persisted properly when using
old-style. (Tomás Fernández Löbbe, Ryan Ernst, Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-4997: The splitshard api doesn't call commit on new sub shards before
switching shard states. Multiple bugs related to sub shard recovery and
replication are also fixed. (shalin)

* SOLR-5034: A facet.query that parses or analyzes down to a null Query would


throw a NPE. Fixed. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-5039: Admin/Schema Browser displays -1 for term counts for multiValued


fields.

* SOLR-5037: The CSV loader now accepts field names that are not in the schema.
(gsingers, ehatcher, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-4791: solr.xml sharedLib does not work in 4.3.0 (Ryan Ernst, Jan Høydahl via
Erick Erickson)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-4923: Commit to all nodes in a collection in parallel rather than locally


and
then to all other nodes. (hossman, Ricardo Merizalde, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3838: Admin UI - Multiple filter queries are not supported in Query UI


(steffkes)

* SOLR-4719 : Admin UI - Default to wt=json on Query-Screen (steffkes)

* SOLR-4611: Admin UI - Analysis-Urls with empty parameters create empty result


table
(steffkes)

* SOLR-4955: Admin UI - Show address bar on top for Schema + Config (steffkes)

* SOLR-4412: New parameter langid.lcmap to map detected language code to be placed


in "language" field (janhoy)

* SOLR-4815: Admin-UI - DIH: Let "commit" be checked by default (steffkes)

* SOLR-5002: optimize numDocs(Query,DocSet) when filterCache is null (Robert Muir)

* SOLR-5012: optimize search with filter when filterCache is null (Robert Muir)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-4737: Update Guava to 14.0.1 (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2079: Add option to pass HttpServletRequest in the SolrQueryRequest context


map.
(Tomás Fernández Löbbe via Robert Muir)

* SOLR-4738: Update Jetty to 8.1.10.v20130312 (Mark Miller, Robert Muir)

* SOLR-4749: Clean up and refactor CoreContainer code around solr.xml and SolrCore
management. (Mark Miller)
* SOLR-4547: Move logging of filenames on commit from INFO to DEBUG.
(Shawn Heisey, hossman)

* SOLR-4757: Change the example to use the new solr.xml format and core
discovery by directory structure. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4759: Velocity (/browse) template cosmetic cleanup.


(Mark Bennett, ehatcher)

* SOLR-4778: LogWatcher init code moved out of CoreContainer (Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-4784: Make class LuceneQParser public (janhoy)

* SOLR-4448: Allow the solr internal load balancer to be more easily pluggable.
(Philip Hoy via Robert Muir)

* SOLR-4224: Refactor JavaBinCodec input stream definition to enhance reuse.


(phunt via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4931: SolrDeletionPolicy onInit and onCommit methods changed to override


exact signatures (with generics) from IndexDeletionPolicy (shalin)

* SOLR-4942: test improvements to randomize use of compound files (hossman)

* SOLR-4966: CSS, JS and other files in webapp without license (uschindler,


steffkes)

* SOLR-4986: Upgrade to Tika 1.4 (Markus Jelsma via janhoy)

* SOLR-4948, SOLR-5009: Tidied up CoreContainer construction logic.


(Alan Woodward, Uwe Schindler, Steve Rowe)

* LUCENE-5107: Properties files by Solr are now written in UTF-8 encoding,


Unicode is no longer escaped. Reading of legacy properties files with
\u escapes is still possible. (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-4795: Sub shard leader should not accept any updates from parent after
it goes active (shalin)

* SOLR-4798: shard splitting does not respect the router for the collection
when executing the index split. One effect of this is that documents
may be placed in the wrong shard when the default compositeId router
is used in conjunction with IDs containing "!". (yonik)

* SOLR-4797: Shard splitting creates sub shards which have the wrong hash
range in cluster state. This happens when numShards is not a power of two
and router is compositeId. (shalin)

* SOLR-4806: Shard splitting does not abort if WaitForState times out (shalin)

* SOLR-4807: The zkcli script now works with log4j. The zkcli.bat script
was broken on Windows in 4.3.0, now it works. (Shawn Heisey)

* SOLR-4813: Fix SynonymFilterFactory to allow init parameters for


tokenizer factory used when parsing synonyms file. (Shingo Sasaki, hossman)

* SOLR-4829: Fix transaction log leaks (a failure to clean up some old logs)
on a shard leader, or when unexpected exceptions are thrown during log
recovery. (Steven Bower, Mark Miller, yonik)

* SOLR-4751: Fix replication problem of files in sub directory of conf directory.


(Minoru Osuka via Koji)

* SOLR-4741: Deleting a collection should set DELETE_DATA_DIR to true.


(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4752: There are some minor bugs in the Collections API parameter
validation. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4563: RSS DIH-example not working (janhoy)

* SOLR-4796: zkcli.sh should honor JAVA_HOME (Roman Shaposhnik via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4734: Leader election fails with an NPE if there is no UpdateLog.


(Mark Miller, Alexander Eibner)

* SOLR-4868: Setting the log level for the log4j root category results in
adding a new category, the empty string. (Shawn Heisey)

* SOLR-4855: DistributedUpdateProcessor doesn't check for peer sync requests


(shalin)

* SOLR-4867: Admin UI - setting loglevel on root throws RangeError (steffkes)

* SOLR-4870: RecentUpdates.update() does not increment numUpdates loop counter


(Alexey Kudinov via shalin)

* SOLR-4877, LUCENE-5023: Removed SolrIndexSearcher#getDocSetNC()'s special


case for handling TermQuery to prevent NullPointerException if reader does
not have fields. (Bao Yang Yang, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-4881: Fix DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler to correctly use


EmptyEntityResolver to prevent loading of external entities like
UpdateRequestHandler does. (Hossman, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-4858: SolrCore reloading was broken when the UpdateLog


was enabled. (Hossman, Anshum Gupta, Alexey Serba, Mark Miller, yonik)

* SOLR-4853: Fixed SolrJettyTestBase so it may be reused by end users


(hossman)
* SOLR-4744: Update failure on sub shard is not propagated to clients by parent
shard (Anshum Gupta, yonik, shalin)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-4760: Include core name in logs when loading schema.


(Shawn Heisey)

================== 4.3.0 ==================

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.3
Carrot2 3.6.2
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5

Upgrading from Solr 4.2.0


----------------------

* In the schema REST API, the output path for copyFields and dynamicFields
has been changed from all lowercase "copyfields" and "dynamicfields" to
camelCase "copyFields" and "dynamicFields", respectively, to align with all
other schema REST API outputs, which use camelCase. The URL format remains
the same: all resource names are lowercase. See SOLR-4623 for details.

* Slf4j/logging jars are no longer included in the Solr webapp. All logging
jars are now in example/lib/ext. Changing logging impls is now as easy as
updating the jars in this folder with those necessary for the logging impl
you would like. If you are using another webapp container, these jars will
need to go in the corresponding location for that container.
In conjunction, the dist-excl-slf4j and dist-war-excl-slf4 build targets
have been removed since they are redundant. See the Slf4j documentation,
SOLR-3706, and SOLR-4651 for more details.

* The hardcoded SolrCloud defaults for 'hostContext="solr"' and


'hostPort="8983"' have been deprecated and will be removed in Solr 5.0.
Existing solr.xml files that do not have these options explicitly specified
should be updated accordingly. See SOLR-4622 for more details.

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-4648 PreAnalyzedUpdateProcessorFactory allows using the functionality


of PreAnalyzedField with other field types. See javadoc for details and
examples. (Andrzej Bialecki)

* SOLR-4623: Provide REST API read access to all elements of the live schema.
Add a REST API request to return the entire live schema, in JSON, XML, and
schema.xml formats. Move REST API methods from package org.apache.solr.rest
to org.apache.solr.rest.schema, and rename base functionality REST API
classes to remove the current schema focus, to prepare for other non-schema
REST APIs. Change output path for copyFields and dynamicFields from
"copyfields" and "dynamicfields" (all lowercase) to "copyFields" and
"dynamicFields", respectively, to align with all other REST API outputs, which
use camelCase.
(Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-4658: In preparation for REST API requests that can modify the schema,
a "managed schema" is introduced.
Add '<schemaFactory class="ManagedSchemaFactory" mutable="true"/>' to
solrconfig.xml
in order to use it, and to enable schema modifications via REST API requests.
(Steve Rowe, Robert Muir)

* SOLR-4656: Added two new highlight parameters, hl.maxMultiValuedToMatch and


hl.maxMultiValuedToExamine. maxMultiValuedToMatch stops looking for snippets
after
finding the specified number of matches, no matter how far into the multivalued
field
you've gone. maxMultiValuedToExamine stops looking for matches after the
specified
number of multiValued entries have been examined. If both are specified, the
limit
hit first stops the loop. Also this patch cuts down on the copying of the
document
entries during highlighting. These optimizations are probably unnoticeable unless
there are a large number of entries in the multiValued field. Conspicuously, this
will
prevent the "best" match from being found if it appears later in the MV list than
the
cutoff specified by either of these params. (Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-4675: Improve PostingsSolrHighlighter to support per-field/query-time


overrides
and add additional configuration parameters. See the javadocs for more details
and
examples. (Robert Muir)

* SOLR-3755: A new collections api to add additional shards dynamically by


splitting
existing shards. (yonik, Anshum Gupta, shalin)

* SOLR-4530: DIH: Provide configuration to use Tika's IdentityHtmlMapper


(Alexandre Rafalovitch via shalin)

* SOLR-4662: Discover SolrCores by directory structure rather than defining them


in solr.xml. Also, change the format of solr.xml to be closer to that of
solrconfig.xml.
This version of Solr will ship the example in the old style, but you can manually
try the new style. Solr 4.4 will ship with the new style, and Solr 5.0 will
remove
support for the old style. (Erick Erickson, Mark Miller)
Additional Work:
- SOLR-4347: Ensure that newly-created cores via Admin handler are persisted in
solr.xml
(Erick Erickson)
- SOLR-1905: Cores created by the admin request handler should be persisted to
solr.xml.
Also fixed a problem whereby properties like solr.solr.datadir would be
persisted
to solr.xml. Also, cores that didn't happen to be loaded were not persisted.
(Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-4717/SOLR-1351: SimpleFacets now work with localParams allowing faceting on


the
same field multiple ways (ryan, Uri Boness)

* SOLR-4671: CSVResponseWriter now supports pseudo fields. (ryan, nihed mbarek)

* SOLR-4358: HttpSolrServer sends the stream name and exposes 'useMultiPartPost'


(Karl Wright via ryan)

(Ryan Ernst, Robert Muir via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-4634: Fix scripting engine tests to work with Java 8's "Nashorn" Javascript
implementation. (Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-4636: If opening a reader fails for some reason when opening a


SolrIndexSearcher,
a Directory can be left unreleased. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4405: Admin UI - admin-extra files are not rendered into the core-menu
(steffkes)

* SOLR-3956: Fixed group.facet=true to work with negative facet.limit


(Chris van der Merwe, hossman)

* SOLR-4650: copyField doesn't work with source globs that don't match any
explicit or dynamic fields. This regression was introduced in Solr 4.2.
(Daniel Collins, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-4641: Schema now throws exception on illegal field parameters. (Robert


Muir)

* SOLR-3758: Fixed SpellCheckComponent to work consistently with distributed


grouping
(James Dyer)

* SOLR-4652: Fix broken behavior with shared libraries in resource loader for
solr.xml plugins. (Ryan Ernst, Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-4664: ZkStateReader should update aliases on construction.


(Mark Miller, Elodie Sannier)

* SOLR-4682: CoreAdminRequest.mergeIndexes can not merge multiple cores or


indexDirs.
(Jason.D.Cao via shalin)

* SOLR-4581: When faceting on numeric fields in Solr 4.2, negative values


(constraints)
were sorted incorrectly. (Alexander Buhr, shalin, yonik)

* SOLR-4699: The System admin handler should not assume a file system based data

proper HTTP status code returned by the remote server, even if that status
code is not something Solr itself returned -- eg: from the Servlet Container,
or an intermediate HTTP Proxy (hossman)

* SOLR-4661: Admin UI Replication details now correctly displays the current


replicable generation/version of the master. (hossman)

* SOLR-4716,SOLR-4584: SolrCloud request proxying does not work on Tomcat and


perhaps other non Jetty containers. (Po Rui, Yago Riveiro via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4349 : Admin UI - Query Interface does not work in IE


(steffkes)

propagated. (Mark Miller, Gregg Donovan)

* SOLR-4471: Replication occurs even when a slave is already up to date.

set zkHost in solr.xml. (Alfonso Presa, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4505: Possible deadlock around SolrCoreState update lock.


(Erick Erickson, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4511: When a new index is replicated into place, we need


to update the most recent replicatable index point without
doing a commit. This is important for repeater use cases, as
well as when nodes may switch master/slave roles.
(Mark Miller, Raúl Grande)

* SOLR-4515: CurrencyField's OpenExchangeRatesOrgProvider now requires


a ratesFileLocation init param, since the previous global default

(Shawn Heisey via hossman)

================== 4.1.0 ==================

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.2
Carrot2 3.6.2
Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5

Upgrading from Solr 4.0.0


----------------------

Custom java parsing plugins need to migrate from throwing the internal
ParseException to throwing SyntaxError.

BaseDistributedSearchTestCase now randomizes the servlet context it uses when


creating Jetty instances. Subclasses that assume a hard coded context of
"/solr" should either be fixed to use the "String context" variable, or should
take advantage of the new BaseDistributedSearchTestCase(String) constructor
to explicitly specify a fixed servlet context path. See SOLR-4136 for details.

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-2255: Enhanced pivot faceting to use local-params in the same way that
regular field value faceting can. This means support for excluding a filter
query, using a different output key, and specifying 'threads' to do
facet.method=fcs concurrently. PivotFacetHelper now extends SimpleFacet and
the getFacetImplementation() extension hook was removed. (dsmiley)
* SOLR-3897: A highlighter parameter "hl.preserveMulti" to return all of the
values of a multiValued field in their original order when highlighting.
(Joel Bernstein via yonik)

* SOLR-3929: Support configuring IndexWriter max thread count in solrconfig.


(phunt via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3906: Add support for AnalyzingSuggester (LUCENE-3842), where the


underlying analyzed form used for suggestions is separate from the returned
text. (Robert Muir)

* SOLR-3985: ExternalFileField caches can be reloaded on firstSearcher/


newSearcher events using the ExternalFileFieldReloader (Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-3911: Make Directory and DirectoryFactory first class so that the majority
of Solr's features work with any custom implementations. (Mark Miller)
Additional Work:
- SOLR-4032: Files larger than an internal buffer size fail to replicate.
(Mark Miller, Markus Jelsma)
- SOLR-4033: Consistently use the solrconfig.xml lockType everywhere.
(Mark Miller, Markus Jelsma)
- SOLR-4144: Replication using too much RAM. (yonik, Markus Jelsma)
- SOLR-4187: NPE on Directory release (Mark Miller, Markus Jelsma)

* SOLR-4051: Add <propertyWriter /> element to DIH's data-config.xml file,


allowing the user to specify the location, filename and Locale for
the "data-config.properties" file. Alternatively, users can specify their
own property writer implementation for greater control. This new configuration
element is optional, and defaults mimic prior behavior. The one exception is
that the "root" locale is default. Previously it was the machine's default
locale.
(James Dyer)

* SOLR-4084: Add FuzzyLookupFactory, which is like AnalyzingSuggester except that


it can tolerate typos in the input. (Areek Zillur via Robert Muir)

* SOLR-4088: New and improved auto host detection strategy for SolrCloud.
(Raintung Li via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3970: SystemInfoHandler now exposes more details about the


JRE/VM/Java version in use. (hossman)

'storeOffsetsWithPositions' flag on field definitions in the schema.
(Tom Winch, Alan Woodward)

* SOLR-4093: Solr QParsers may now be directly invoked in the lucene


query syntax without the _query_ magic field hack.
Example: foo AND {!term f=myfield v=$qq}
(yonik)

* SOLR-4087: Add MAX_DOC_FREQ option to MoreLikeThis.


(Andrew Janowczyk via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4114: Allow creating more than one shard per instance with the
Collection API. (Per Steffensen, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3531: Allowing configuring maxMergeSizeMB and maxCachedMB when


using NRTCachingDirectoryFactory. (Andy Laird via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4118: Fix replicationFactor to align with industry usage.


replicationFactor now means the total number of copies
of a document stored in the collection (or the total number of
physical indexes for a single logical slice of the collection).
For example if replicationFactor=3 then for a given shard there
will be a total of 3 replicas (one of which will normally be
designated as the leader.) (yonik)

* SOLR-4124: You should be able to set the update log directory with the
CoreAdmin API the same way as the data directory. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4028: When using ZK chroot, it would be nice if Solr would create the
initial path when it doesn't exist. (Tomás Fernández Löbbe via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3948: Calculate/display deleted documents in admin interface.


(Shawn Heisey via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4030: Allow rate limiting Directory IO based on the IO context.


(Mark Miller, Radim Kolar)

* SOLR-4166: LBHttpSolrServer ignores ResponseParser passed in constructor.


(Steve Molloy via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4140: Allow access to the collections API through CloudSolrServer


without referencing an existing collection. (Per Steffensen via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-788: Distributed search support for MLT.


(Matthew Woytowitz, Mike Anderson, Jamie Johnson, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4120: Collection API: Support for specifying a list of Solr addresses to


spread a new collection across. (Per Steffensen via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-4110: Configurable Content-Type headers for PHPResponseWriters and


PHPSerializedResponseWriter. (Dominik Siebel via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-1028: The ability to specify "transient" and "loadOnStartup" as a new


properties of
<core> tags in solr.xml. Can specify "transientCacheSize" in the <cores> tag.
Together
these allow cores to be loaded only when needed and only transientCacheSize
transient
cores will be loaded at a time, the rest aged out on an LRU basis.

* SOLR-4246: When update.distrib is set to skip update processors before


the distributed update processor, always include the log update processor
so forwarded updates will still be logged. (yonik)

* SOLR-4230: The new Solr 4 spatial fields now work with the {!geofilt} and
{!bbox} query parsers. The score local-param works too. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-1972: Add extra statistics to RequestHandlers - 5 & 15-minute reqs/sec


rolling averages; median, 75th, 95th, 99th, 99.9th percentile request times
(Alan Woodward, Shawn Heisey, Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-4271: Add support for PostingsHighlighter. (Robert Muir)

* SOLR-4255: The new Solr 4 spatial fields now have a 'filter' boolean local-param
that can be set to false to not filter. It's useful when there is already a
spatial
filter query but you also need to sort or boost by distance. (David Smiley)

* SOLR-4265, SOLR-4283: Solr now parses request parameters (in URL or sent with
POST
using content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded) in its dispatcher code. It
no
longer relies on special configuration settings in Tomcat or other web containers
to enable UTF-8 encoding, which is mandatory for correct Solr behaviour. Query
strings passed in via the URL need to be properly-%-escaped, UTF-8 encoded
bytes, otherwise Solr refuses to handle the request. The maximum length of
x-www-form-urlencoded POST parameters can now be configured through the
requestDispatcher/requestParsers/@formdataUploadLimitInKB setting in
solrconfig.xml (defaults to 2 MiB). Solr now works out of the box with
e.g. Tomcat, JBoss,... (Uwe Schindler, Dawid Weiss, Alex Rocher)

* SOLR-2201: DIH's "formatDate" function now supports a timezone as an optional


fourth parameter (James Dyer, Mark Waddle)

* SOLR-4302: New parameter 'indexInfo' (defaults to true) in CoreAdmin STATUS


command can be used to omit index specific information (Shahar Davidson via
shalin)

* SOLR-2592: Collection specific document routing. The "compositeId"


router is the default for collections with hash based routing (i.e. when
numShards=N is specified on collection creation). Documents with ids sharing
the same domain (prefix) will be routed to the same shard, allowing for
efficient querying.

Example:
The following two documents will be indexed to the same shard
since they share the same domain "customerB!".
<code>
{"id" : "customerB!doc1" [...] }
{"id" : "customerB!doc2" [...] }
</code>
At query time, one can specify a "shard.keys" parameter that lists what
shards the query should cover.
http://.../query?q=my_query&shard.keys=customerB!

Collections that do not specify numShards at collection creation time


use custom sharding and default to the "implicit" router. Document updates
received by a shard will be indexed to that shard, unless a "_shard_" parameter
or document field names a different shard.
(Michael Garski, Dan Rosher, yonik)

(Mark Miller)

================== 4.0.0 ==================

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.2
Carrot2 3.5.0
Velocity 1.6.4 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.3.6

Upgrading from Solr 4.0.0-BETA


----------------------
In order to better support distributed search mode, the TermVectorComponent's
response format has been changed so that if the schema defines a
uniqueKeyField, then that field value is used as the "key" for each document in
its response section, instead of the internal lucene doc id. Users w/o a
uniqueKeyField will continue to see the same response format. See SOLR-3229
for more details.

If you are using SolrCloud's distributed update request capabilities and a non
string type id field, you must re-index.

Upgrading from Solr 4.0.0-ALPHA


----------------------

Solr is now much more strict about requiring that the uniqueKeyField feature
(if used) must refer to a field which is not multiValued. If you upgrade from
an earlier version of Solr and see an error that your uniqueKeyField "can not
be configured to be multivalued" please add 'multiValued="false"' to the
<field /> declaration for your uniqueKeyField. See SOLR-3682 for more details.

In addition, please review the notes above about upgrading from 4.0.0-BETA

Upgrading from Solr 3.6


----------------------

* The Lucene index format has changed and as a result, once you upgrade,
previous versions of Solr will no longer be able to read your indices.
In a master/slave configuration, all searchers/slaves should be upgraded
before the master. If the master were to be updated first, the older
searchers would not be able to read the new index format.

* Setting abortOnConfigurationError=false is no longer supported


(since it has never worked properly). Solr will now warn you if
you attempt to set this configuration option at all. (see SOLR-1846)

* The default logic for the 'mm' param of the 'dismax' QParser has
been changed. If no 'mm' param is specified (either in the query,
or as a default in solrconfig.xml) then the effective value of the
'q.op' param (either in the query or as a default in solrconfig.xml
or from the 'defaultOperator' option in schema.xml) is used to
influence the behavior. If q.op is effectively "AND" then mm=100%.
If q.op is effectively "OR" then mm=0%. Users who wish to force the
legacy behavior should set a default value for the 'mm' param in
their solrconfig.xml file.

* The VelocityResponseWriter is no longer built into the core. Its JAR and
dependencies now need to be added (via <lib> or solr/home lib inclusion),
and it needs to be registered in solrconfig.xml like this:
<queryResponseWriter name="velocity" class="solr.VelocityResponseWriter"/>

* The update request parameter to choose Update Request Processor Chain is


renamed from "update.processor" to "update.chain". The old parameter was
deprecated but still working since Solr3.2, but is now removed
entirely.

* The <indexDefaults> and <mainIndex> sections of solrconfig.xml are discontinued


and replaced with the <indexConfig> section. There are also better defaults.
When migrating, if you don't know what your old settings mean, simply delete
both <indexDefaults> and <mainIndex> sections. If you have customizations,
put them in <indexConfig> section - with same syntax as before.

* Two of the SolrServer subclasses in SolrJ were renamed/replaced.


CommonsHttpSolrServer is now HttpSolrServer, and
StreamingUpdateSolrServer is now ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer.

* The PingRequestHandler no longer looks for a <healthcheck/> option in the


(legacy) <admin> section of solrconfig.xml. Users who wish to take
advantage of this feature should configure a "healthcheckFile" init param
directly on the PingRequestHandler. As part of this change, relative file
paths have been fixed to be resolved against the data dir. See the example
solrconfig.xml and SOLR-1258 for more details.

* Due to low level changes to support SolrCloud, the uniqueKey field can no
longer be populated via <copyField/> or <field default=...> in the
schema.xml. Users wishing to have Solr automatically generate a uniqueKey
value when adding documents should instead use an instance of
solr.UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory in their update processor chain. See
SOLR-2796 for more details.

In addition, please review the notes above about upgrading from 4.0.0-BETA, and
4.0.0-ALPHA

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-3670: New CountFieldValuesUpdateProcessorFactory makes it easy to index


the number of values in another field for later use at query time. (hossman)

* SOLR-2768: new "mod(x,y)" function for computing the modulus of two value
sources. (hossman)

* SOLR-3238: Numerous small improvements to the Admin UI (steffkes)

* SOLR-3597: seems like a lot of wasted whitespace at the top of the admin screens
(steffkes)

* SOLR-3304: Added Solr adapters for Lucene 4's new spatial module. With
SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeFieldType ("location_rpt" in example schema), it is
possible to index a variable number of points per document (and sort on them),
index not just points but any Spatial4j supported shape such as polygons, and
to query on these shapes too. Polygons requires adding JTS to the classpath.
(David Smiley)

* SOLR-3825: Added optional capability to log what ids are in a response


(Scott Stults via gsingers)

* SOLR-3821: Added 'df' to the UI Query form (steffkes)

* SOLR-3822: Added hover titles to the edismax params on the UI Query form
(steffkes)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-3715: improve concurrency of the transaction log by removing


synchronization around log record serialization. (yonik)

* SOLR-3807: Currently during recovery we pause for a number of seconds after


waiting for the leader to see a recovering state so that any previous updates
will have finished before our commit on the leader - we don't need this wait
for peersync. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3837: When a leader is elected and asks replicas to sync back to him and
that fails, we should ask those nodes to recovery asynchronously rather than
synchronously. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3709: Cache the url list created from the ClusterState in CloudSolrServer
on each request. (Mark Miller)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-3685: Solr Cloud sometimes skipped peersync attempt and replicated instead
due
to tlog flags not being cleared when no updates were buffered during a previous
replication. (Markus Jelsma, Mark Miller, yonik)

* SOLR-3229: Fixed TermVectorComponent to work with distributed search


(Hang Xie, hossman)

fails in
SolrCloud tests. (rmuir, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2981: Fixed StatsComponent to no longer return duplicated information


when requesting multiple stats.facet fields.
(Roman Kliewer via hossman)

* SOLR-3743: Fixed issues with atomic updates and optimistic concurrency in


conjunction with stored copyField targets by making real-time get never
return copyField targets. (yonik)

"_version_" field in schema.xml (hossman)

* SOLR-3745: Proper error reporting if SolrCloud mode is used w/o


necessary "_version_" field in schema.xml (hossman)

* SOLR-3770: Overseer may lose updates to cluster state (siren)

* SOLR-3721: Fix bug that could theoretically allow multiple recoveries to run
briefly at the same time if the recovery thread join call was interrupted.
(Per Steffensen, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3782: A leader going down while updates are coming in can cause shard
inconsistency. (Mark Miller)
* SOLR-3611: We do not show ZooKeeper data in the UI for a node that has children.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3789: Fix bug in SnapPuller that caused "internal" compression to fail.


(siren)

* SOLR-3790: ConcurrentModificationException could be thrown when using hl.fl=*.


Fixed in r1231606. (yonik, koji)

* SOLR-3668: DataImport : Specifying Custom Parameters (steffkes)

* SOLR-3793: UnInvertedField faceting cached big terms in the filter


cache that ignored deletions, leading to duplicate documents in search
later when a filter of the same term was specified.
(Günter Hipler, hossman, yonik)

* SOLR-3679: Core Admin UI gives no feedback if "Add Core" fails (steffkes,


hossman)

distributed request (Markus Jelsma via hossman)

* SOLR-3628: SolrInputField and SolrInputDocument are now consistently backed


by Collections passed in to setValue/setField, and defensively copy values
from Collections passed to addValue/addField
(Tom Switzer via hossman)

* SOLR-3595: CurrencyField now generates an appropriate error on schema init


if it is configured as multiValued - this has never been properly supported,
but previously failed silently in odd ways. (hossman)

* SOLR-3823: Fix 'bq' parsing in edismax. Please note that this required
reverting the negative boost support added by SOLR-3278 (hossman)

* SOLR-3827: Fix shareSchema=true in solr.xml


(Tomás Fernández Löbbe via hossman)

* SOLR-3809: Fixed config file replication when subdirectories are used


(Emmanuel Espina via hossman)

* SOLR-3828: Fixed QueryElevationComponent so that using 'markExcludes' does


not modify the result set or ranking of 'excluded' documents relative to
not using elevation at all. (Alexey Serba via hossman)

* SOLR-3569: Fixed debug output on distributed requests when there are no


results found. (David Bowen via hossman)

* SOLR-3811: Query Form using wrong values for dismax, edismax (steffkes)

* SOLR-3779: DataImportHandler's LineEntityProcessor when used in conjunction


with FileListEntityProcessor would only process the first file.
(Ahmet Arslan via James Dyer)
* SOLR-3791: CachedSqlEntityProcessor would throw a NullPointerException when
a query returns a row with a NULL key. (Steffen Moelter via James Dyer)

* SOLR-3833: When a election is started because a leader went down, the new
leader candidate should decline if the last state they published was not
active. (yonik, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3836: When doing peer sync, we should only count sync attempts that
cannot reach the given host as success when the candidate leader is
syncing with the replicas - not when replicas are syncing to the leader.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3835: In our leader election algorithm, if on connection loss we found


we did not create our election node, we should retry, not throw an exception.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3834: A new leader on cluster startup should also run the leader sync
process in case there was a bad cluster shutdown. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3772: On cluster startup, we should wait until we see all registered


replicas before running the leader process - or if they all do not come up,
N amount of time. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3756: If we are elected the leader of a shard, but we fail to publish


this for any reason, we should clean up and re trigger a leader election.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3812: ConnectionLoss during recovery can cause lost updates, leading to


shard inconsistency. (Mark Miller)

================== 4.0.0-BETA ===================

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.1
Carrot2 3.5.0
Velocity 1.6.4 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.3.6

Upgrading from Solr 4.0.0-ALPHA


----------------------

Solr is now much more strict about requiring that the uniqueKeyField feature
(if used) must refer to a field which is not multiValued. If you upgrade from
an earlier version of Solr and see an error that your uniqueKeyField "can not
be configured to be multivalued" please add 'multiValued="false"' to the
<field /> declaration for your uniqueKeyField. See SOLR-3682 for more details.

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------
* LUCENE-4201: Added JapaneseIterationMarkCharFilterFactory to normalize Japanese
iteration marks. (Robert Muir, Christian Moen)

* SOLR-1856: In Solr Cell, literals should override Tika-parsed values.


Patch adds a param "literalsOverride" which defaults to true, but can be set
to "false" to let Tika-parsed values be appended to literal values (Chris Harris,
janhoy)

* SOLR-3488: Added a Collection management API for SolrCloud.


(Tommaso Teofili, Sami Siren, yonik, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3559: Full deleteByQuery support with SolrCloud distributed indexing.


All replicas of a shard will be consistent, even if updates arrive in a
different order on different replicas. (yonik)

* SOLR-1929: Index encrypted documents with ExtractingUpdateRequestHandler.


By supplying resource.password=<mypw> or specifying an external file with regular
expressions matching file names, Solr will decrypt and index PDFs and DOCX
formats.
(janhoy, Yiannis Pericleous)

* SOLR-3562: Add options to remove instance dir or data dir on core unload.
(Mark Miller, Per Steffensen)

* SOLR-2702: The default directory factory was changed to


NRTCachingDirectoryFactory
which wraps the StandardDirectoryFactory and caches small files for improved
Near Real-time (NRT) performance. (Mark Miller, yonik)

* SOLR-2616: Include a sample java util logging configuration file.


(David Smiley, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3460: Add cloud-scripts directory and a zkcli.sh|bat tool for easy scripting
and interaction with ZooKeeper. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-1725: StatelessScriptUpdateProcessorFactory allows users to implement


the full ScriptUpdateProcessor API using any scripting language with a
javax.script.ScriptEngineFactory
(Uri Boness, ehatcher, Simon Rosenthal, hossman)

* SOLR-139: Change to updateable documents to create the document if it doesn't


already exist. To assert that the document must exist, use the optimistic
concurrency feature by specifying a _version_ of 1. (yonik)

* LUCENE-2510, LUCENE-4044: Migrated Solr's Tokenizer-, TokenFilter-, and


CharFilterFactories to the lucene-analysis module. To add new analysis
modules to Solr (like ICU, SmartChinese, Morfologik,...), just drop in
the JAR files from Lucene's binary distribution into your Solr instance's
lib folder. The factories are automatically made available with SPI.
(Chris Male, Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-3634, SOLR-3635: CoreContainer and CoreAdminHandler will now remember


and report back information about failures to initialize SolrCores. These
failures will be accessible from the web UI and CoreAdminHandler STATUS
command until they are "reset" by creating/renaming a SolrCore with the
same name. (hossman, steffkes)

* SOLR-1280: Added commented-out example of the new script update processor


to the example configuration. (ehatcher)

* SOLR-3672: SimplePostTool: Improvements for posting files


Support for auto mode, recursive and wildcards (janhoy)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-3708: Add hashCode to ClusterState so that structures built based on the


ClusterState can be easily cached. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3709: Cache the url list created from the ClusterState in CloudSolrServer on
each
request. (Mark Miller, yonik)

* SOLR-3710: Change CloudSolrServer so that update requests are only sent to


leaders by
default. (Mark Miller)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-3582: Our ZooKeeper watchers respond to session events as if they are change
events,
creating undesirable side effects. (Trym R. Møller, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3467: ExtendedDismax escaping is missing several reserved characters


(Michael Dodsworth via janhoy)

* SOLR-3587: After reloading a SolrCore, the original Analyzer is still used rather
than a new
one. (Alexey Serba, yonik, rmuir, Mark Miller)

* LUCENE-4185: Fix a bug where CharFilters were wrongly being applied twice.
(Michael Froh, rmuir)

* SOLR-3610: After reloading a core, indexing would fail on any newly added fields
to the schema. (Brent Mills, rmuir)

* SOLR-3377: edismax fails to correctly parse a fielded query wrapped by parens.


This regression was introduced in 3.6. (Bernd Fehling, Jan Høydahl, yonik)

* SOLR-3621: Fix rare concurrency issue when opening a new IndexWriter for
replication or rollback.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-1781: Replication index directories not always cleaned up.


(Markus Jelsma, Terje Sten Bjerkseth, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3639: Update ZooKeeper to 3.3.6 for a variety of bug fixes. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3629: Typo in solr.xml persistence when overriding the solrconfig.xml


file name using the "config" attribute prevented the override file from being
used. (Ryan Zezeski, hossman)

* SOLR-3642: Correct broken check for multivalued fields in stats.facet


(Yandong Yao, hossman)

* SOLR-3660: Velocity: Link to admin page broken (janhoy)


* SOLR-3658: Adding thousands of docs with one UpdateProcessorChain instance can
briefly create
spikes of threads in the thousands. (yonik, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3656: A core reload now always uses the same dataDir. (Mark Miller, yonik)

* SOLR-3662: Core reload bugs: a reload always obtained a non-NRT searcher, which
could go back in time with respect to the previous core's NRT searcher.
Versioning
did not work correctly across a core reload, and update handler synchronization
was changed to synchronize on core state since more than on update handler
can coexist for a single index during a reload. (yonik)

* SOLR-3663: There are a couple of bugs in the sync process when a leader goes down
and a
new leader is elected. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3623: Fixed inconsistent treatment of third-party dependencies for


solr contribs analysis-extras & uima (hossman)

* SOLR-3652: Fixed range faceting to error instead of looping infinitely


when 'gap' is zero -- or effectively zero due to floating point arithmetic
underflow. (hossman)

* SOLR-3648: Fixed VelocityResponseWriter template loading in SolrCloud mode.


For the example configuration, this means /browse now works with SolrCloud.
(janhoy, ehatcher)

* SOLR-3677: Fixed misleading error message in web ui to distinguish between


no SolrCores loaded vs. no /admin/ handler available.
(hossman, steffkes)

* SOLR-3428: SolrCmdDistributor flushAdds/flushDeletes can cause repeated


adds/deletes to be sent (Mark Miller, Per Steffensen)

* SOLR-3647: DistributedQueue should use our Solr zk client rather than the std zk
client. ZooKeeper expiration can be permanent otherwise. (Mark Miller)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-3524: Make discarding punctuation configurable in JapaneseTokenizerFactory.


The default is to discard punctuation, but this is overridable as an expert
option.
(Kazuaki Hiraga, Jun Ohtani via Christian Moen)

* SOLR-1770: Move the default core instance directory into a collection1 folder.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3355: Add shard and collection to SolrCore statistics. (Michael Garski, Mark
Miller)

* SOLR-3575: solr.xml should default to persist=true (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3563: Unloading all cores in a SolrCloud collection will now cause the
removal of
that collection's meta data from ZooKeeper. (Mark Miller, Per Steffensen)
* SOLR-3599: Add zkClientTimeout to solr.xml so that it's obvious how to change it
and so
that you can change it with a system property. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3609: Change Solr's expanded webapp directory to be at a consistent path


called
solr-webapp rather than a temporary directory. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3600: Raise the default zkClientTimeout from 10 seconds to 15 seconds. (Mark


Miller)

* SOLR-3215: Clone SolrInputDocument when distrib indexing so that update


processors after
the distrib update process do not process the document twice. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3683: Improved error handling if an <analyzer> contains both an


explicit class attribute, as well as nested factories. (hossman)

* SOLR-3682: Fail to parse schema.xml if uniqueKeyField is multivalued (hossman)

* SOLR-2115: DIH no longer requires the "config" parameter to be specified in


solrconfig.xml.
Instead, the configuration is loaded and parsed with every import. This allows
the use of
a different configuration with each import, and makes correcting configuration
errors simpler.
Also, the configuration itself can be passed using the "dataConfig" parameter
rather than
using a file (this previously worked in debug mode only). When configuration
errors are
encountered, the error message is returned in XML format. (James Dyer)

* SOLR-3439: Make SolrCell easier to use out of the box. Also improves "/browse" to
display
rich-text documents correctly, along with facets for author and content_type.
With the new "content" field, highlighting of body is supported. See also SOLR-
3672 for
easier posting of a whole directory structure. (Jack Krupansky, janhoy)

* SOLR-3579: SolrCloud view should default to the graph view rather than tree view.
(steffkes, Mark Miller)

Versions of Major Components


---------------------
Apache Tika 1.1
Carrot2 3.5.0
Velocity 1.6.4 and Velocity Tools 2.0
Apache UIMA 2.3.1
Apache ZooKeeper 3.3.4

Upgrading from Solr 3.6-dev


----------------------
* The Lucene index format has changed and as a result, once you upgrade,
previous versions of Solr will no longer be able to read your indices.
In a master/slave configuration, all searchers/slaves should be upgraded
before the master. If the master were to be updated first, the older
searchers would not be able to read the new index format.

* Setting abortOnConfigurationError=false is no longer supported


(since it has never worked properly). Solr will now warn you if
you attempt to set this configuration option at all. (see SOLR-1846)

* The default logic for the 'mm' param of the 'dismax' QParser has
been changed. If no 'mm' param is specified (either in the query,
or as a default in solrconfig.xml) then the effective value of the
'q.op' param (either in the query or as a default in solrconfig.xml
or from the 'defaultOperator' option in schema.xml) is used to
influence the behavior. If q.op is effectively "AND" then mm=100%.
If q.op is effectively "OR" then mm=0%. Users who wish to force the
legacy behavior should set a default value for the 'mm' param in
their solrconfig.xml file.

* The VelocityResponseWriter is no longer built into the core. Its JAR and
dependencies now need to be added (via <lib> or solr/home lib inclusion),
and it needs to be registered in solrconfig.xml like this:
<queryResponseWriter name="velocity" class="solr.VelocityResponseWriter"/>

* The update request parameter to choose Update Request Processor Chain is


renamed from "update.processor" to "update.chain". The old parameter was
deprecated but still working since Solr3.2, but is now removed
entirely.

* The <indexDefaults> and <mainIndex> sections of solrconfig.xml are discontinued


and replaced with the <indexConfig> section. There are also better defaults.
When migrating, if you don't know what your old settings mean, simply delete
both <indexDefaults> and <mainIndex> sections. If you have customizations,
put them in <indexConfig> section - with same syntax as before.

* Two of the SolrServer subclasses in SolrJ were renamed/replaced.


CommonsHttpSolrServer is now HttpSolrServer, and
StreamingUpdateSolrServer is now ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer.

* The PingRequestHandler no longer looks for a <healthcheck/> option in the


(legacy) <admin> section of solrconfig.xml. Users who wish to take
advantage of this feature should configure a "healthcheckFile" init param
directly on the PingRequestHandler. As part of this change, relative file
paths have been fixed to be resolved against the data dir. See the example
solrconfig.xml and SOLR-1258 for more details.

* Due to low level changes to support SolrCloud, the uniqueKey field can no
longer be populated via <copyField/> or <field default=...> in the
schema.xml. Users wishing to have Solr automatically generate a uniqueKey
value when adding documents should instead use an instance of
solr.UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory in their update processor chain. See
SOLR-2796 for more details.

Detailed Change List

supports "percentages" which get evaluated relative the current size of
the cache when warming happens.
(Tomás Fernández Löbbe and hossman)

* SOLR-1932: New relevancy function queries: termfreq, tf, docfreq, idf


norm, maxdoc, numdocs. (yonik)

Lucene's
DirectSpellChecker to retrieve correction candidates directly from the term
dictionary using
levenshtein automata. (James Dyer, rmuir)

* SOLR-1873, SOLR-2358: SolrCloud - added shared/central config and core/shard


management via zookeeper,
built-in load balancing, and distributed indexing.
(Jamie Johnson, Sami Siren, Ted Dunning, yonik, Mark Miller)
Additional Work:
- SOLR-2324: SolrCloud solr.xml parameters are not persisted by CoreContainer.
(Massimo Schiavon, Mark Miller)
- SOLR-2287: Allow users to query by multiple, compatible collections with
SolrCloud.
(Soheb Mahmood, Alex Cowell, Mark Miller)
- SOLR-2622: ShowFileRequestHandler does not work in SolrCloud mode.
(Stefan Matheis, Mark Miller)
- SOLR-3108: Error in SolrCloud's replica lookup code when replica's are hosted
in same Solr instance.
(Bruno Dumon, Sami Siren, Mark Miller)
- SOLR-3080: Remove shard info from zookeeper when SolrCore is explicitly
unloaded.
(yonik, Mark Miller, siren)
- SOLR-3437: Recovery issues a spurious commit to the cluster. (Trym R. Møller
via Mark Miller)
- SOLR-2822: Skip update processors already run on other nodes (hossman)

* SOLR-1566: Transforming documents in the ResponseWriters. This will allow


for more complex results in responses and open the door for function queries
as results.
(ryan with patches from grant, noble, cmale, yonik, Jan Høydahl,
Arul Kalaipandian, Luca Cavanna, hossman)
- SOLR-2037: Thanks to SOLR-1566, documents boosted by the
QueryElevationComponent
can be marked as boosted. (gsingers, ryan, yonik)
* SOLR-2396: Add CollationField, which is much more efficient than
the Solr 3.x CollationKeyFilterFactory, and also supports
Locale-sensitive range queries. (rmuir)

* SOLR-2338: Add support for using <similarity/> in a schema's fieldType,


for customizing scoring on a per-field basis. (hossman, yonik, rmuir)

* SOLR-2335: New 'field("...")' function syntax for referring to complex


field names (containing whitespace or special characters) in functions.

* SOLR-2383: /browse improvements: generalize range and date facet display


(Jan Høydahl via yonik)

* SOLR-2272: Pseudo-join queries / filters. Examples:


- To restrict to the set of parents with at least one blue-eyed child:
fq={!join from=parent to=name}eyes:blue
- To restrict to the set of children with at least one blue-eyed parent:
fq={!join from=name to=parent}eyes:blue
(yonik)

* SOLR-1942: Added the ability to select postings format per fieldType in


schema.xml
as well as support custom Codecs in solrconfig.xml.
(simonw via rmuir)

* SOLR-2136: Boolean type added to function queries, along with


new functions exists(), if(), and(), or(), xor(), not(), def(),
and true and false constants. (yonik)

* SOLR-2491: Add support for using spellcheck collation in conjunction


with grouping. Note that the number of hits returned for collations
is the number of ungrouped hits. (James Dyer via rmuir)

* SOLR-1298: Return FunctionQuery as pseudo field. The solr 'fl' param


now supports functions. For example: fl=id,sum(x,y) -- NOTE: only
functions with fast random access are recommended. (yonik, ryan)

* SOLR-705: Optionally return shard info with each document in distributed


search. Use fl=id,[shard] to return the shard url. (ryan)

* SOLR-2417: Add explain info directly to return documents using


?fl=id,[explain] (ryan)

* SOLR-2533: Converted ValueSource.ValueSourceSortField over to new rewriteable


Lucene
SortFields. ValueSourceSortField instances must be rewritten before they can be
used.
This is done by SolrIndexSearcher when necessary. (Chris Male).

* SOLR-2193, SOLR-2565: You may now specify a 'soft' commit when committing. This
will
use Lucene's NRT feature to avoid guaranteeing documents are on stable storage in
exchange
for faster reopen times. There is also a new 'soft' autocommit tracker that can
be
configured. (Mark Miller, Robert Muir)

* SOLR-2399: Updated Solr Admin interface. New look and feel with per core
administration
and many new options. (Stefan Matheis via ryan)

* SOLR-1032: CSV handler now supports "literal.field_name=value" parameters.


(Simon Rosenthal, ehatcher)

* SOLR-2656: realtime-get, efficiently retrieves the latest stored fields for


specified
documents, even if they are not yet searchable (i.e. without reopening a
searcher)
(yonik)

* SOLR-2703: Added support for Lucene's "surround" query parser. (Simon Rosenthal,
ehatcher)

* SOLR-2754: Added factories for several ranking algorithms:


- BM25SimilarityFactory: Okapi BM25
- DFRSimilarityFactory: Divergence from Randomness models
- IBSimilarityFactory: Information-based models
- LMDirichletSimilarity: LM with Dirichlet smoothing
- LMJelinekMercerSimilarity: LM with Jelinek-Mercer smoothing
(David Mark Nemeskey, Robert Muir)

* SOLR-2134 Trie* fields should support sortMissingLast=true, and deprecate


Sortable* Field Types
(Ryan McKinley, Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-2438 added MultiTermAwareComponent to the various classes to allow automatic


lowercasing
for multiterm queries (wildcards, regex, prefix, range, etc). You can now
optionally specify a
"multiterm" analyzer in our schema.xml, but Solr should "do the right thing" if
you don't
specify <analyzer type="multiterm"> (Pete Sturge Erick Erickson, Mentoring from
Seeley and Muir)

* SOLR-2481: Add support for commitWithin in DataImportHandler (Sami Siren via


yonik)

* SOLR-2992: Add support for IndexWriter.prepareCommit() via prepareCommit=true


on update URLs. (yonik)

* SOLR-2906: Added LFU cache options to Solr. (Shawn Heisey via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-3069: Ability to add openSearcher=false to not open a searcher when doing


a hard commit. commitWithin now only invokes a softCommit. (yonik)

* SOLR-2802: New FieldMutatingUpdateProcessor and Factory to simplify the


development of UpdateProcessors that modify field values of documents as
they are indexed. Also includes several useful new implementations:
- RemoveBlankFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
- TrimFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
- HTMLStripFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
- RegexReplaceProcessorFactory
- FieldLengthUpdateProcessorFactory
- ConcatFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
- FirstFieldValueUpdateProcessorFactory
- LastFieldValueUpdateProcessorFactory
- MinFieldValueUpdateProcessorFactory
- MaxFieldValueUpdateProcessorFactory
- TruncateFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
- IgnoreFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
(hossman, janhoy)

* SOLR-3120: Optional post filtering for spatial queries bbox and geofilt
for LatLonType. (yonik)

* SOLR-2459: Expose LogLevel selection with a RequestHandler rather then servlet


(Stefan Matheis, Upayavira, ryan)

* SOLR-3134: Include shard info in distributed response when shards.info=true


(Russell Black, ryan)

* SOLR-2898: Support grouped faceting. (Martijn van Groningen)


Additional Work:
- SOLR-3406: Extended grouped faceting support to facet.query and facet.range
parameters.
(David Boychuck, Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-2949: QueryElevationComponent is now supported with distributed search.


(Mark Miller, yonik)

* SOLR-3221: Added the ability to directly configure aspects of the concurrency


and thread-pooling used within distributed search in solr. This allows for finer
grained controlled and can be tuned by end users to target their own specific
requirements. This builds on the work of the HttpCommComponent and uses the same
configuration
block to configure the thread pool. The default configuration has
the same behaviour as solr 3.5, favouring throughput over latency. More
information can be found on the wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml)
(Greg Bowyer)

* SOLR-3278: Negative boost support to the Extended Dismax Query Parser Boost Query
(bq).
(James Dyer)

* SOLR-3255: OpenExchangeRates.Org Exchange Rate Provider for CurrencyField


(janhoy)

* SOLR-3358: Logging events are captured and available from the /admin/logging
request handler. (ryan)

* SOLR-1535: PreAnalyzedField type provides a functionality to index (and


optionally store)
field content that was already processed and split into tokens using some
external processing
chain. Serialization format is pluggable, and defaults to JSON. (ab)

* SOLR-3363: Consolidated Exceptions in Analysis Factories so they only throw


InitializationExceptions (Chris Male)

* SOLR-2690: New support for a "TZ" request param which overrides the TimeZone
used when rounding Dates in DateMath expressions for the entire request
(all date range queries and date faceting is affected). The default TZ
is still UTC. (David Schlotfeldt, hossman)

* SOLR-3402: Analysis Factories are now configured with their Lucene Version
throw setLuceneMatchVersion, rather than through the Map passed to init.
Parsing and simple error checking for the Version is now done inside
the code that creates the Analysis Factories. (Chris Male)

* SOLR-3178: Optimistic locking. If a _version_ is provided with an update


that does not match the version in the index, an HTTP 409 error (Conflict)
will result. (Per Steffensen, yonik)

* SOLR-139: Updateable documents. JSON Example:


{"id":"mydoc", "f1":{"set":10}, "f2":{"add":20}} will result in field "f1"
being set to 10, "f2" having an additional value of 20 added, and all
other existing fields unchanged. All source fields must be stored for
this feature to work correctly. (Ryan McKinley, Erik Hatcher, yonik)

* SOLR-2857: Support XML,CSV,JSON, and javabin in a single RequestHandler and


choose the correct ContentStreamLoader based on Content-Type header. This
also deprecates the existing [Xml,JSON,CSV,Binary,Xslt]UpdateRequestHandler.
(ryan)

* SOLR-2585: Context-Sensitive Spelling Suggestions & Collations. This adds


support
for the "spellcheck.alternativeTermCount" & "spellcheck.maxResultsForSuggest"
parameters, letting users receive suggestions even when all the queried terms
exist in the dictionary. This differs from "spellcheck.onlyMorePopular" in
that the suggestions need not consist entirely of terms with a greater document
frequency than the queried terms. (James Dyer)

* SOLR-2058: Edismax query parser to allow "phrase slop" to be specified per-field


on the pf/pf2/pf3 parameters using optional "FieldName~slop^boost" syntax. The
prior "FieldName^boost" syntax is still accepted. In such cases the value on the
"ps" parameter serves as the default slop. (Ron Mayer via James Dyer)

* SOLR-3495: New UpdateProcessors have been added to create default values for
configured fields. These works similarly to the <field default="..."/>
option in schema.xml, but are applied in the UpdateProcessorChain, so they
may be used prior to other UpdateProcessors, or to generate a uniqueKey field
value when using the DistributedUpdateProcessor (ie: SolrCloud)
TimestampUpdateProcessorFactory
UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory
DefaultValueUpdateProcessorFactory
(hossman)

* SOLR-2993: Add WordBreakSolrSpellChecker to offer suggestions by combining


adjacent
query terms and/or breaking terms into multiple words. This spellchecker can be
configured with a traditional checker (ie: DirectSolrSpellChecker). The results
are combined and collations can contain a mix of corrections from both
spellcheckers.
(James Dyer)

* SOLR-3508: Simplify JSON update format for deletes as well as allow


version specification for optimistic locking. Examples:
- {"delete":"myid"}
- {"delete":["id1","id2","id3"]}
- {"delete":{"id":"myid", "_version_":123456789}}
(yonik)

* SOLR-3211: Allow parameter overrides in conjunction with


"spellcheck.maxCollationTries".
To do so, use parameters starting with "spellcheck.collateParam." For instance,
to
override the "mm" parameter, specify "spellcheck.collateParam.mm". This is
helpful
in cases where testing spellcheck collations for result counts should use
different
parameters from the main query (James Dyer)

* SOLR-2599: CloneFieldUpdateProcessorFactory provides similar functionality


to schema.xml's <copyField/> declaration but as an update processor that can
be combined with other processors in any order. (Jan Høydahl & hossman)

* SOLR-3351: eDismax: ps2 and ps3 params (janhoy)

* SOLR-3542: Add WeightedFragListBuilder for FVH and set it to default


fragListBuilder
in example solrconfig.xml. (Sebastian Lutze, koji)

* SOLR-2396: Add ICUCollationField to contrib/analysis-extras, which is much


more efficient than the Solr 3.x ICUCollationKeyFilterFactory, and also
supports Locale-sensitive range queries. (rmuir)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-1875: Per-segment field faceting for single valued string fields.


Enable with facet.method=fcs, control the number of threads used with
the "threads" local param on the facet.field param. This algorithm will
only be faster in the presence of rapid index changes. (yonik)

* SOLR-1904: When facet.enum.cache.minDf > 0 and the base doc set is a


SortedIntSet, convert to HashDocSet for better performance. (yonik)

* SOLR-2092: Speed up single-valued and multi-valued "fc" faceting. Typical


improvement is 5%, but can be much greater (up to 10x faster) when facet.offset
is very large (deep paging). (yonik)

* SOLR-2193, SOLR-2565: The default Solr update handler has been improved so
that it uses fewer locks, keeps the IndexWriter open rather than closing it
on each commit (ie commits no longer wait for background merges to complete),
works with SolrCore to provide faster 'soft' commits, and has an improved API
that requires less instanceof special casing. (Mark Miller, Robert Muir)
Additional Work:
- SOLR-2697: commit and autocommit operations don't reset
DirectUpdateHandler2.numDocsPending stats attribute.
(Alexey Serba, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2950: The QueryElevationComponent now avoids using the FieldCache and


looking up
every document id (gsingers, yonik)

Bug Fixes
----------------------
* SOLR-3139: Make ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer send UpdateRequest.getParams()
as HTTP request params (siren)

* SOLR-3165: Cannot use DIH in Solrcloud + Zookeeper (Alexey Serba,


Mark Miller, siren)

* SOLR-3068: Occasional NPE in ThreadDumpHandler (siren)


* SOLR-2762: FSTLookup could return duplicate results or one results less
than requested. (David Smiley, Dawid Weiss)

* SOLR-2741: Bugs in facet range display in trunk (janhoy)

* SOLR-1908: Fixed SignatureUpdateProcessor to fail to initialize on


invalid config. Specifically: a signatureField that does not exist,
or overwriteDupes=true with a signatureField that is not indexed.
(hossman)

* SOLR-1824: IndexSchema will now fail to initialize if there is a


problem initializing one of the fields or field types. (hossman)

* SOLR-1928: TermsComponent didn't correctly break ties for non-text


fields sorted by count. (yonik)

* SOLR-2107: MoreLikeThisHandler doesn't work with alternate qparsers. (yonik)

* SOLR-2108: Fixed false positives when using wildcard queries on fields with
reversed
wildcard support. For example, a query of *zemog* would match documents that
contain
'gomez'. (Landon Kuhn via Robert Muir)

* SOLR-1962: SolrCore#initIndex should not use a mix of indexPath and newIndexPath


(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2275: fix DisMax 'mm' parsing to be tolerant of whitespace


(Erick Erickson via hossman)

* SOLR-2193, SOLR-2565, SOLR-2651: SolrCores now properly share IndexWriters across


SolrCore reloads.
(Mark Miller, Robert Muir)
Additional Work:
- SOLR-2705: On reload, IndexWriterProvider holds onto the initial SolrCore it
was created with.
(Yury Kats, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2682: Remove addException() in SimpleFacet. FacetComponent no longer catches


and embeds
exceptions occurred during facet processing, it throws HTTP 400 or 500 exceptions
instead. (koji)

* SOLR-2654: Directorys used by a SolrCore are now closed when they are no longer
used.
(Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2854: Now load URL content stream data (via stream.url) when called for
during request handling,
rather than loading URL content streams automatically regardless of use.
(David Smiley and Ryan McKinley via ehatcher)

* SOLR-2829: Fix problem with false-positives due to incorrect


equals methods. (Yonik Seeley, Hossman, Erick Erickson.
Marc Tinnemeyer caught the bug)

* SOLR-2848: Removed 'instanceof AbstractLuceneSpellChecker' hacks from distributed


spellchecking code,
and added a merge() method to SolrSpellChecker instead. Previously if you
extended SolrSpellChecker
your spellchecker would not work in distributed fashion. (James Dyer via rmuir)

* SOLR-2509: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in the spellchecker collate when the


term contains
a hyphen. (Thomas Gambier caught the bug, Steffen Godskesen did the patch, via
Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-1730: Made it clearer when a core failed to load as well as better logging
when the
QueryElevationComponent fails to properly initialize (gsingers)

* SOLR-1520: QueryElevationComponent now supports non-string ids (gsingers)

* SOLR-3037: When using binary format in solrj the codec screws up parameters
(Sami Siren, Jörg Maier via yonik)

* SOLR-3062: A join in the main query was not respecting any filters pushed
down to it via acceptDocs since LUCENE-1536. (Mike Hugo, yonik)

* SOLR-3214: If you use multiple fl entries rather than a comma separated list, all
but the first
entry can be ignored if you are using distributed search. (Tomás Fernández Löbbe
via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-3352: eDismax: pf2 should kick in for a query with 2 terms (janhoy)

* SOLR-3361: ReplicationHandler "maxNumberOfBackups" doesn't work if backups are


triggered on commit
(James Dyer, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-2605: fixed tracking of the 'defaultCoreName' in CoreContainer so that


CoreAdminHandler could return consistent information regardless of whether
there is a a default core name or not. (steffkes, hossman)

* SOLR-3370: fixed CSVResponseWriter to respect globs in the 'fl' param


(Keith Fligg via hossman)

* SOLR-3436: Group count incorrect when not all shards are queried in the second
pass. (Francois Perron, Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-3454: Exception when using result grouping with main=true and using
wt=javabin. (Ludovic Boutros, Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-3446: Better errors when PatternTokenizerFactory is configured with


an invalid pattern, and include the 'name' whenever possible in plugin init
error messages. (hossman)

* LUCENE-4075: Cleaner path usage in TestXPathEntityProcessor


(Greg Bowyer via hossman)

* SOLR-2923: IllegalArgumentException when using useFilterForSortedQuery on an


empty index. (Adrien Grand via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2352: Fixed TermVectorComponent so that it will not fail if the fl


param contains globs or pseudo-fields (hossman)

* SOLR-3541: add missing solrj dependencies to binary packages.


(Thijs Vonk via siren)

* SOLR-3522: fixed parsing of the 'literal()' function (hossman)

* SOLR-3548: Fixed a bug in the cachability of queries using the {!join}


parser or the strdist() function, as well as some minor improvements to
the hashCode implementation of {!bbox} and {!geofilt} queries.
(hossman)

* SOLR-3470: contrib/clustering: custom Carrot2 tokenizer and stemmer factories


are respected now (Stanislaw Osinski, Dawid Weiss)

* SOLR-3430: Added a new DIH test against a real SQL database. Fixed problems
revealed by this new test related to the expanded cache support added to
3.6/SOLR-2382 (James Dyer)

* SOLR-1958: When using the MailEntityProcessor, import would fail if


fetchMailsSince was not specified. (Max Lynch via James Dyer)

* SOLR-4289: Admin UI - JVM memory bar - dark grey "used" width is too small
(steffkes, elyograg)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-1846: Eliminate support for the abortOnConfigurationError


option. It has never worked very well, and in recent versions of
Solr hasn't worked at all. (hossman)

* SOLR-1889: The default logic for the 'mm' param of DismaxQParser and
ExtendedDismaxQParser has been changed to be determined based on the
effective value of the 'q.op' param (hossman)

* SOLR-1946: Misc improvements to the SystemInfoHandler: /admin/system


(hossman)

* SOLR-2289: Tweak spatial coords for example docs so they are a bit
more spread out (Erick Erickson via hossman)

* SOLR-2288: Small tweaks to eliminate compiler warnings. primarily


using Generics where applicable in method/object declarations, and
adding @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") when appropriate (hossman)

* SOLR-2375: Suggester Lookup implementations now store trie data


and load it back on init. This means that large tries don't have to be
rebuilt on every commit or core reload. (ab)

* SOLR-2413: Support for returning multi-valued fields w/o <arr> tag


in the XMLResponseWriter was removed. XMLResponseWriter only
no longer work with values less then 2.2 (ryan)

* SOLR-2423: FieldType argument changed from String to Object


Conversion from SolrInputDocument > Object > Fieldable is now managed
by FieldType rather then DocumentBuilder. (ryan)

* SOLR-2461: QuerySenderListener and AbstractSolrEventListener are


now public (hossman)

* LUCENE-2995: Moved some spellchecker and suggest APIs to modules/suggest:


HighFrequencyDictionary, SortedIterator, TermFreqIterator, and the
suggester APIs and implementations. (rmuir)

* SOLR-2576: Remove deprecated SpellingResult.add(Token, int).


(James Dyer via rmuir)

* LUCENE-3232: Moved MutableValue classes to new 'common' module. (Chris Male)

* LUCENE-2883: FunctionQuery, DocValues (and its impls), ValueSource (and its


impls) and BoostedQuery have been consolidated into the queries module. They
can now be found at o.a.l.queries.function.

* SOLR-2027: FacetField.getValues() now returns an empty list if there are no


values, instead of null (Chris Male)

* SOLR-1825: SolrQuery.addFacetQuery now enables facets automatically, like


addFacetField (Chris Male)

* SOLR-2663: FieldTypePluginLoader has been refactored out of IndexSchema


and made public. (hossman)

* SOLR-2331,SOLR-2691: Refactor CoreContainer's SolrXML serialization code and


improve testing
(Yury Kats, hossman, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2698: Enhance CoreAdmin STATUS command to return index size.


(Yury Kats, hossman, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2654: The same Directory instance is now always used across a SolrCore so
that
it's easier to add other DirectoryFactory's without static caching hacks.
(Mark Miller)

* LUCENE-3286: 'luke' ant target has been disabled due to incompatibilities with
XML
queryparser location (Chris Male)

* SOLR-1897: The data dir from the core descriptor should override the data dir
from
the solrconfig.xml rather than the other way round. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2756: Maven configuration: Excluded transitive stax:stax-api dependency


from org.codehaus.woodstox:wstx-asl dependency. (David Smiley via Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-2588: Moved VelocityResponseWriter back to contrib module in order to


remove it as a mandatory core dependency. (ehatcher)

* SOLR-2862: More explicit lexical resources location logged if Carrot2 clustering


extension is used. Fixed solr. impl. of IResource and IResourceLookup. (Dawid
Weiss)

* SOLR-1123: Changed JSONResponseWriter to now use application/json as its Content-


Type
by default. However the Content-Type can be overwritten and is set to text/plain
in
the example configuration. (Uri Boness, Chris Male)

* SOLR-2607: Removed deprecated client/ruby directory, which included solr-ruby and


flare.
(ehatcher)

* SOLR-3032: logOnce from SolrException logOnce and all the supporting


structure is gone. abortOnConfigurationError is also gone as it is no longer
referenced.
Errors should be caught and logged at the top-most level or logged and NOT
propagated up the
chain. (Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-2105: Remove support for deprecated "update.processor" (since 3.2), in favor


of
"update.chain" (janhoy)

* SOLR-3005: Default QueryResponseWriters are now initialized via init() with an


empty
NamedList. (Gasol Wu, Chris Male)

* SOLR-2607: Removed obsolete client/ folder (ehatcher, Eric Pugh, janhoy)

* SOLR-3202, SOLR-3244: Dropping Support for JSP. New Admin UI is all client side
(ryan, Aliaksandr Zhuhrou, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-3159: Upgrade example and tests to run with Jetty 8 (ryan)

* SOLR-3254: Upgrade Solr to Tika 1.1 (janhoy)

* SOLR-3329: Dropped getSourceID() from SolrInfoMBean and using


getClass().getPackage().getSpecificationVersion() for Version. (ryan)

* SOLR-3302: Upgraded SLF4j to version 1.6.4 (hossman)

* SOLR-3322: Add more context to IndexReaderFactory.newReader (ab)

* SOLR-3343: Moved FastWriter, FileUtils, RegexFileFilter, RTimer and


SystemIdResolver
from org.apache.solr.common to org.apache.solr.util (Chris Male)

* SOLR-3357: ResourceLoader.newInstance now accepts a Class representation of the


expected
instance type (Chris Male)

* SOLR-3388: HTTP caching is now disabled by default for RequestUpdateHandlers.


(ryan)

* SOLR-3309: web.xml now specifies metadata-complete=true (which requires


Servlet 2.5) to prevent servlet containers from scanning class annotations
on startup. This allows for faster startup times on some servlet containers.
(Bill Bell, hossman)

* SOLR-1893: Refactored some common code from LRUCache and FastLRUCache into
SolrCacheBase (Tomás Fernández Löbbe via hossman)

* SOLR-3403: Deprecated Analysis Factories now log their own deprecation messages.
No logging support is provided by Factory parent classes. (Chris Male)

* SOLR-1258: PingRequestHandler is now directly configured with a


"healthcheckFile" instead of looking for the legacy
<admin><healthcheck/></admin> syntax. Filenames specified as relative
paths have been fixed so that they are resolved against the data dir
instead of the CWD of the java process. (hossman)

* SOLR-3083: JMX beans now report Numbers as numeric values rather then String
(Tagged Siteops, Greg Bowyer via ryan)

* SOLR-2796: Due to low level changes to support SolrCloud, the uniqueKey


field can no longer be populated via <copyField/> or <field default=...>
in the schema.xml.

* SOLR-3534: The Dismax and eDismax query parsers will fall back on the 'df'
parameter
when 'qf' is absent. And if neither is present nor the schema default search
field
then an exception will be thrown now. (dsmiley)

* SOLR-3262: The "threads" feature of DIH is removed (deprecated in Solr 3.6)


(James Dyer)

* SOLR-3422: Refactored DIH internal data classes. All entities in


data-config.xml must have a name (James Dyer)

release notes, upgrade instructions, or other changes may be found online at:
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solr3.6

Upgrading from Solr 3.5


----------------------
* SOLR-2983: As a consequence of moving the code which sets a MergePolicy from
SolrIndexWriter to SolrIndexConfig,
(custom) MergePolicies should now have an empty constructor; thus an IndexWriter
should not be passed as constructor
parameter but instead set using the setIndexWriter() method.

* As doGet() methods in SimplePostTool was changed to static, the client


applications of this
class need to be recompiled.

* In Solr version 3.5 and earlier, HTMLStripCharFilter had known bugs in the
character offsets it provided, triggering e.g. exceptions in highlighting.
HTMLStripCharFilter has been re-implemented, addressing this and other
issues. See the entry for LUCENE-3690 in the Bug Fixes section below for a
detailed list of changes. For people who depend on the behavior of
HTMLStripCharFilter in Solr version 3.5 and earlier: the old implementation
(bugs and all) is preserved as LegacyHTMLStripCharFilter.

* As of Solr 3.6, the <indexDefaults> and <mainIndex> sections of solrconfig.xml


are deprecated
and replaced with a new <indexConfig> section. Read more in SOLR-1052 below.

* SOLR-3040: The DIH's admin UI (dataimport.jsp) now requires DIH request handlers
to start with
a '/'. (dsmiley)

* SOLR-3161: <requestDispatcher handleSelect="false"> is now the default. An


existing config will
probably work as-is because handleSelect was explicitly enabled in default
configs. HandleSelect
makes /select work as well as enables the 'qt' parameter. Instead, consider
explicitly
configuring /select as is done in the example solrconfig.xml, and register your
other search
handlers with a leading '/' which is a recommended practice. (David Smiley, Erik
Hatcher)

* SOLR-3161: Don't use the 'qt' parameter with a leading '/'. It probably won't
work in 4.0
and it's now limited in 3.6 to SearchHandler subclasses that aren't lazy-loaded.

* SOLR-2724: Specifying <defaultSearchField> and <solrQueryParser


defaultOperator="..."/> in
schema.xml is now considered deprecated. Instead you are encouraged to specify
these via the "df"
and "q.op" parameters in your request handler definition. (David Smiley)

* Bugs found and fixed in the SignatureUpdateProcessor that previously caused


some documents to produce the same signature even when the configured fields
contained distinct (non-String) values. Users of SignatureUpdateProcessor
are strongly advised that they should re-index as document signatures may
have now changed. (see SOLR-3200 & SOLR-3226 for details)

New Features
----------------------
* SOLR-2020: Add Java client that uses Apache Http Components http client (4.x).
(Chantal Ackermann, Ryan McKinley, Yonik Seeley, siren)

* SOLR-2854: Now load URL content stream data (via stream.url) when called for
during request handling,
rather than loading URL content streams automatically regardless of use.
(David Smiley and Ryan McKinley via ehatcher)

* SOLR-2904: BinaryUpdateRequestHandler should be able to accept multiple update


requests from
a stream (shalin)

* SOLR-1565: StreamingUpdateSolrServer supports RequestWriter API and therefore,


javabin update
format (shalin)

* SOLR-2438 added MultiTermAwareComponent to the various classes to allow automatic


lowercasing
for multiterm queries (wildcards, regex, prefix, range, etc). You can now
optionally specify a
"multiterm" analyzer in our schema.xml, but Solr should "do the right thing" if
you don't
specify <fieldType="multiterm"> (Pete Sturge Erick Erickson, Mentoring from
Seeley and Muir)

* SOLR-2919: Added support for localized range queries when the analysis chain uses
CollationKeyFilter or ICUCollationKeyFilter. (Michael Sokolov, rmuir)

* SOLR-2982: Added BeiderMorseFilterFactory for Beider-Morse (BMPM) phonetic


encoder. Upgrades
commons-codec to version 1.6 (Brooke Schreier Ganz, rmuir)

* SOLR-1843: A new "rootName" attribute is now available when


configuring <jmx/> in solrconfig.xml. If this attribute is set,
Solr will use it as the root name for all MBeans Solr exposes via
JMX. The default root name is "solr" followed by the core name.
(Constantijn Visinescu, hossman)

* SOLR-2906: Added LFU cache options to Solr. (Shawn Heisey via Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-3036: Ability to specify overwrite=false on the URL for XML updates.


(Sami Siren via yonik)

* SOLR-2603: Add the encoding function for alternate fields in highlighting.


(Massimo Schiavon, koji)

* SOLR-1729: Evaluation of NOW for date math is done only once per request for
consistency, and is also propagated to shards in distributed search.
Adding a parameter NOW=<time_in_ms> to the request will override the
current time. (Peter Sturge, yonik, Simon Willnauer)

* SOLR-1709: Distributed support for Date and Numeric Range Faceting


(Peter Sturge, David Smiley, hossman, Simon Willnauer)

* SOLR-3054, LUCENE-3671: Add TypeTokenFilterFactory that creates TypeTokenFilter


that filters tokens based on their TypeAttribute. (Tommaso Teofili via
Uwe Schindler)

* LUCENE-3305, SOLR-3056: Added Kuromoji morphological analyzer for Japanese.


See the 'text_ja' fieldtype in the example to get started.
(Christian Moen, Masaru Hasegawa via Robert Muir)

* SOLR-1860: StopFilterFactory, CommonGramsFilterFactory, and


CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory can optionally read stopwords in Snowball
format (specify format="snowball"). (Robert Muir)

* SOLR-3105: ElisionFilterFactory optionally allows the parameter


ignoreCase (default=false). (Robert Muir)

* LUCENE-3714: Add WFSTLookupFactory, a suggester that uses a weighted FST


for more fine-grained suggestions. (Mike McCandless, Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)

* SOLR-3143: Add SuggestQueryConverter, a QueryConverter intended for


auto-suggesters. (Robert Muir)

* SOLR-3033: ReplicationHandler's backup command now supports a


'maxNumberOfBackups'
init param that can be used to delete all but the most recent N backups. (Torsten
Krah, James Dyer)

* SOLR-2202: Currency FieldType, whith support for currencies and exchange rates
(Greg Fodor & Andrew Morrison via janhoy, rmuir, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-3026: eDismax: Locking down which fields can be explicitly queried (user
fields aka uf)
(janhoy, hossmann, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

* SOLR-2826: URLClassify Update Processor (janhoy)

* SOLR-2764: Create a NorwegianLightStemmer and NorwegianMinimalStemmer (janhoy)

* SOLR-3221: Added the ability to directly configure aspects of the concurrency


and thread-pooling used within distributed search in solr. This allows for finer
grained controlled and can be tuned by end users to target their own specific
requirements. This builds on the work of the HttpCommComponent and uses the same
configuration
block to configure the thread pool. The default configuration has
the same behaviour as solr 3.5, favouring throughput over latency. More
information can be found on the wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml)
(Greg Bowyer)

* SOLR-2001: The query component will substitute an empty query that matches
no documents if the query parser returns null. This also prevents an
exception from being thrown by the default parser if "q" is missing. (yonik)
- SOLR-435: if q is "" then it's also acceptable. (dsmiley, hoss)

* SOLR-2919: Added parametric tailoring options to ICUCollationKeyFilterFactory.


These can be used to customize range query/sort behavior, for example to
support numeric collation, ignore punctuation/whitespace, ignore accents but
not case, control whether upper/lowercase values are sorted first, etc. (rmuir)

* SOLR-2346: Add a chance to set content encoding explicitly via content type
of stream for extracting request handler. This is convenient when Tika's
auto detector cannot detect encoding, especially the text file is too short
to detect encoding. (koji)

* SOLR-1499: Added SolrEntityProcessor that imports data from another Solr core
or instance based on a specified query.
(Lance Norskog, Erik Hatcher, Pulkit Singhal, Ahmet Arslan, Luca Cavanna,
Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-3190: Minor improvements to SolrEntityProcessor. Add more consistency


between solr parameters and parameters used in SolrEntityProcessor and
ability to specify a custom HttpClient instance.
(Luca Cavanna via Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-2382: Added pluggable cache support to DIH so that any Entity can be
made cache-able by adding the "cacheImpl" parameter. Include
"SortedMapBackedCache" to provide in-memory caching (as previously this was
the only option when using CachedSqlEntityProcessor). Users can provide
their own implementations of DIHCache for other caching strategies.
Deprecate CachedSqlEntityProcessor in favor of specifing "cacheImpl" with
SqlEntityProcessor. Make SolrWriter implement DIHWriter and allow the
possibility of pluggable Writers (DIH writing to something other than Solr).
(James Dyer, Noble Paul)

Optimizations
----------------------
* SOLR-1931: Speedup for LukeRequestHandler and admin/schema browser. New parameter
reportDocCount defaults to 'false'. Old behavior still possible by specifying
this as 'true'
(Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-3012: Move System.getProperty("type") in postData() to main() and add type


argument so that
the client applications of SimplePostTool can set content type via method
argument. (koji)

* SOLR-2888: FSTSuggester refactoring: internal storage is now UTF-8,


external sorting (on disk) prevents OOMs even with large data sets
(the bottleneck is now FST construction), code cleanups and API cleanups.
(Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
Bug Fixes
----------------------
* SOLR-3187 SystemInfoHandler leaks filehandles (siren)

* LUCENE-3820: Fixed invalid position indexes by reimplementing


PatternReplaceCharFilter.
This change also drops real support for boundary characters -- all input is
prebuffered
for pattern matching. (Dawid Weiss)

* SOLR-3068: Fixed NPE in ThreadDumpHandler (siren)

* SOLR-2912: Fixed File descriptor leak in ShowFileRequestHandler (Michael Ryan,


shalin)

* SOLR-2819: Improved speed of parsing hex entities in HTMLStripCharFilter


(Bernhard Berger, hossman)

* SOLR-2509: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in the spellchecker collate when the


term contains
a hyphen. (Thomas Gambier caught the bug, Steffen Godskesen did the patch, via
Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-2955: Fixed IllegalStateException when querying with group.sort=score desc


in sharded
environment. (Steffen Elberg Godskesen, Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-2956: Fixed inconsistencies in the flags (and flag key) reported by


the LukeRequestHandler (hossman)

* SOLR-1730: Made it clearer when a core failed to load as well as better logging
when the
QueryElevationComponent fails to properly initialize (gsingers)

* SOLR-1520: QueryElevationComponent now supports non-string ids (gsingers)

* SOLR-3024: Fixed JSONTestUtil.matchObj, in previous releases it was not


respecting the 'delta' arg (David Smiley via hossman)

* SOLR-2542: Fixed DIH Context variables which were broken for all scopes other
then SCOPE_ENTITY (Linbin Chen & Frank Wesemann via hossman)

* SOLR-3042: Fixed Maven Jetty plugin configuration.


(David Smiley via Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-2970: CSV ResponseWriter returns fields defined as stored=false in schema


(janhoy)

* LUCENE-3690, LUCENE-2208, SOLR-882, SOLR-42: Re-implemented


HTMLStripCharFilter as a JFlex-generated scanner and moved it to
lucene/contrib/analyzers/common/. See below for a list of bug fixes and
other changes. To get the same behavior as HTMLStripCharFilter in Solr
version 3.5 and earlier (including the bugs), use LegacyHTMLStripCharFilter,
which is the previous implementation.

Behavior changes from the previous version:

- Known offset bugs are fixed.


- The "Mark invalid" exceptions reported in SOLR-1283 are no longer
triggered (the bug is still present in LegacyHTMLStripCharFilter).
- The character entity "&apos;" is now always properly decoded.
- More cases of <script> tags are now properly stripped.
- CDATA sections are now handled properly.
- Valid tag name characters now include the supplementary Unicode characters
from Unicode character classes [:ID_Start:] and [:ID_Continue:].
- Uppercase character entities "&QUOT;", "&COPY;", "&GT;", "&LT;", "&REG;",
and "&AMP;" are now recognized and handled as if they were in lowercase.
- The REPLACEMENT CHARACTER U+FFFD is now used to replace numeric character
entities for unpaired UTF-16 low and high surrogates (in the range
[U+D800-U+DFFF]).
- Properly paired numeric character entities for UTF-16 surrogates are now
converted to the corresponding code units.
- Opening tags with unbalanced quotation marks are now properly stripped.
- Literal "<" and ">" characters in opening tags, regardless of whether they
appear inside quotation marks, now inhibit recognition (and stripping) of
the tags. The only exception to this is for values of event-handler
attributes, e.g. "onClick", "onLoad", "onSelect".
- A newline '\n' is substituted instead of a space for stripped HTML markup.
- Nothing is substituted for opening and closing inline tags - they are
simply removed. The list of inline tags is (case insensitively): <a>,
<abbr>, <acronym>, <b>, <basefont>, <bdo>, <big>, <cite>, <code>, <dfn>,
<em>, <font>, <i>, <img>, <input>, <kbd>, <label>, <q>, <s>, <samp>,
<select>, <small>, <span>, <strike>, <strong>, <sub>, <sup>, <textarea>,
<tt>, <u>, and <var>.
- HTMLStripCharFilterFactory now handles HTMLStripCharFilter's "escapedTags"
feature: opening and closing tags with the given names, including any
attributes and their values, are left intact in the output.
(Steve Rowe)

* LUCENE-3717: Fixed offset bugs in TrimFilter, WordDelimiterFilter, and


HyphenatedWordsFilter where they would create invalid offsets in
some situations, leading to problems in highlighting. (Robert Muir)

* SOLR-2280: commitWithin ignored for a delete query (Juan Grande via janhoy)

* SOLR-3073: Fixed 'Invalid UUID string' error when having an UUID field as
the unique key and executing a distributed grouping request. (Devon Krisman,
Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-3084: Fixed initialization error when using


<queryResponseWriter default="true" ... /> (Bernd Fehling and hossman)

* SOLR-3109: Fixed numerous redundant shard requests when using distributed


grouping.
(rblack via Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-3052: Fixed typo in distributed grouping parameters.


(Martijn van Groningen, Grant Ingersoll)

* SOLR-2909: Add support for ResourceLoaderAware tokenizerFactories in synonym


filter factories. (Tom Klonikowski, Jun Ohtani via Koji Sekiguchi)

* SOLR-3168: ReplicationHandler "numberToKeep" & "maxNumberOfBackups" parameters


would keep only 1 backup, even if more than 1 was specified (Neil Hooey, James
Dyer)

* SOLR-3009: hitGrouped.vm isn't shipped with 3.x (ehatcher, janhoy)


* SOLR-3195: timeAllowed is ignored for grouping queries
(Russell Black via Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-2124: Do not log stack traces for "Service Disabled" / 503 Exceptions
(PingRequestHandler, etc)
(James Dyer, others)

* SOLR-3260: DataImportHandler: ScriptTransformer gives better error messages when


problems arise on initialization (no Script Engine, invalid script, etc). (James
Dyer)

* SOLR-2959: edismax now respects the magic fields '_val_' and '_query_'
(Michael Watts, hossman)

* SOLR-3074: fix SolrPluginUtils.docListToSolrDocumentList to respect the


list of fields specified. This fix also deprecates
DocumentBuilder.loadStoredFields which is not used anywhere in Solr,
and was fundamentally broken/bizarre.
(hossman, Ahmet Arslan)

* SOLR-2291: fix JSONWriter to respect field list when writing SolrDocuments


(Ahmet Arslan via hossman)

field values (Spyros Kapnissis, hossman)

* SOLR-3200: Fix SignatureUpdateProcessor "all fields" mode to use all


fields of each document instead of the fields specified by the first
document indexed (Spyros Kapnissis via hossman)

* SOLR-3316: Distributed grouping failed when rows parameter was set to 0 and
sometimes returned a wrong hit count as matches. (Cody Young, Martijn van
Groningen)

* SOLR-3107: contrib/langid: When using the LangDetect implementation of


langid, set the random seed to 0, so that the same document is detected as
the same language with the same probability every time.
(Christian Moen via rmuir)

* SOLR-2937: Configuring the number of contextual snippets used for


search results clustering. The hl.snippets parameter is now respected
by the clustering plugin, can be overridden by carrot.summarySnippets
if needed (Stanislaw Osinski).

* SOLR-2938: Clustering on multiple fields. The carrot.title and


carrot.snippet can now take comma- or space-separated lists of
field names to cluster (Stanislaw Osinski).

* SOLR-2939: Clustering of multilingual search results. The document's


language field be passed in the carrot.lang parameter, the carrot.lcmap
parameter enables mapping of language codes to ISO 639 (Stanislaw Osinski).

* SOLR-2940: Passing values for custom Carrot2 fields to Clustering component.


The custom field mapping are defined using the carrot.custom parameter
(Stanislaw Osinski).

* SOLR-2941: NullPointerException on clustering component initialization

(koji)

* SOLR-2920: Refactor frequent conditional use of DefaultSolrParams and


AppendedSolrParams into factory methods.
(David Smiley via hossman)

* SOLR-3032: Deprecate logOnce from SolrException logOnce and all the supporting
structure will disappear in 4.0. Errors should be caught and logged at the
top-most level or logged and NOT propagated up the chain. (Erick Erickson)

* SOLR-2718: Add ability to lazy load response writers, defined with


startup="lazy".
(ehatcher)

* SOLR-2901: Upgrade Solr to Tika 1.0 (janhoy)

* SOLR-3059: Example XSL stylesheet for indexing query result XML (janhoy)

* SOLR-3097, SOLR-3105: Add analysis configurations for different languages to


the example. (Christian Moen, Robert Muir)

* SOLR-3005: Default QueryResponseWriters are now initialized via init() with an


empty
NamedList. (Gasol Wu, Chris Male)

* SOLR-3140: Upgrade schema version to 1.5, where omitNorms defaults to "true" for
all
primitive (non-analyzed) field types such as int, float, date, bool, string..
(janhoy)

* SOLR-3077: Better error messages when attempting to use "blank" field names
(Antony Stubbs via hossman)

* SOLR-2712: expecting fl=score to return all fields is now deprecated.


In solr 4.0, this will only return the score. (ryan)

* SOLR-3156: Check for Lucene directory locks at startup. In previous versions


this check was only performed during modifying (e.g. adding and deleting
documents) the index. (Luca Cavanna via Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-1052: Deprecated <indexDefaults> and <mainIndex> in solrconfig.xml


From now, all settings go in the new <indexConfig> tag, and some defaults are
changed: useCompoundFile=false, ramBufferSizeMB=32, lockType=native, so that
the effect of NOT specifying <indexConfig> at all gives same result as the
example config used to give in 3.5 (janhoy, gsingers)

* SOLR-3294: In contrib/clustering/lib/, replaced the manually retrowoven


Java 1.5-compatible carrot2-core-3.5.0.jar (which is not publicly available,
except from the Solr Subversion repository), with newly released Java
1.5-compatible carrot2-core-3.5.0.1.jar (hosted on the Maven Central
repository). Also updated dependencies jackson-core-asl and
jackson-mapper-asl (both v1.5.2 -> v1.7.4). (Dawid Weiss, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-3295: netcdf jar is excluded from the binary release (and disabled in
ivy.xml) because it requires java 6. If you want to parse this content with
extracting request handler and are willing to use java 6, just add the jar.
(rmuir)

* SOLR-3142: DIH Imports no longer default optimize to true, instead false.


If you want to force all segments to be merged into one, you can specify
this parameter yourself. NOTE: this can be very expensive operation and
usually does not make sense for delta-imports. (Robert Muir)

Build
----------------------
* SOLR-2487: Add build target to package war without slf4j jars (janhoy)

* SOLR-3112: Fix tests not to write to src/test-files (Luca Cavanna via Robert
Muir)

* LUCENE-3753: Restructure the Solr build system. (Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-3204: The packaged pre-release artifact of Commons CSV used the original
package name (org.apache.commons.csv). This created a compatibility issue as
the Apache Commons team works toward an official release of Commons CSV.
The source of Commons CSV was added under a separate package name to the
Solr source code. (Uwe Schindler, Chris Male, Emmanuel Bourg)

* LUCENE-3930: Changed build system to use Apache Ivy for retrival of 3rd
party JAR files. Please review README.txt for instructions.
(Robert Muir, Chris Male, Uwe Schindler, Steven Rowe, Hossman)

================== 3.5.0 ==================

New Features
----------------------

methods,
making the feature more conveniently accessible for developers (janhoy)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

could commit too frequently and could block adds until a new searcher was
registered. (yonik)

* SOLR-2726: Fixed NullPointerException when using spellcheck.q with Suggester.


(Bernd Fehling, valentin via rmuir)

* SOLR-2772: Fixed Date parsing/formatting of years 0001-1000 (hossman)

parameter.
(Martijn van Groningen, Ramzi Alqrainy)

* SOLR-2793: In rare cases (most likely during shutdown), a SolrIndexSearcher can


be left
open if the executor rejects a task. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2791: Replication: abortfetch command is broken if replication was started


by fetchindex command instead of a regular poll (Yury Kats via shalin)

* SOLR-2861: Fix extremely rare race condition on commit that can result
in a NPE (yonik)

* SOLR-2813: Fix HTTP error codes returned when requests contain strings that
can not be parsed as numbers for Trie fields. (Jeff Crump and hossman)
* SOLR-2902: List of collations are wrong parsed in SpellCheckResponse causing
a wrong number of collation results in the response.
(Bastiaan Verhoef, James Dyer via Simon Willnauer)

* SOLR-2875: Fix the incorrect url in DIH example tika-data-config.xml


(Shinichiro Abe via koji)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-2750: Make both "update.chain" and the deprecated "update.param" work


consistently everywhere; see also SOLR-2105. (Mark Miller, janhoy)

* LUCENE-3410: Deprecated the WordDelimiterFilter constructors accepting multiple


ints masquerading as booleans. Preferred constructor now accepts a single int
bitfield (Chris Male)

================== 3.4.0 ==================

Upgrading from Solr 3.3


----------------------

* The Lucene index format has changed and as a result, once you upgrade,
previous versions of Solr will no longer be able to read your indices.
In a master/slave configuration, all searchers/slaves should be upgraded
before the master. If the master were to be updated first, the older
searchers would not be able to read the new index format.
* Previous versions of Solr silently allow and ignore some contradictory
properties specified in schema.xml. For example:
- indexed="false" omitNorms="false"
- indexed="false" omitTermFreqAndPositions="false"
Field property validation has now been fixed, to ensure that
contradictions like these now generate error messages. If users
have existing schemas that generate one of these new "conflicting
'false' field options for non-indexed field" error messages the
conflicting "omit*" properties can safely be removed, or changed to
"true" for consistent behavior with previous Solr versions. This
situation has now been fixed to cause an error on startup when these
contradictory options. See SOLR-2669.

* FacetComponent no longer catches and embeds exceptions occurred during facet


processing, it throws HTTP 400 or 500 exceptions instead.

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-2540: CommitWithin as an Update Request parameter


You can now specify &commitWithin=N (ms) on the update request (janhoy)

* SOLR-2458: post.jar enhanced to handle JSON, CSV and <optimize> (janhoy)

* LUCENE-3234: add a new parameter hl.phraseLimit for FastVectorHighlighter speed


up.
(Mike Sokolov via koji)

* SOLR-2429: Ability to add cache=false to queries and query filters to avoid


using the filterCache or queryCache. A cost may also be specified and is used
to order the evaluation of non-cached filters from least to greatest cost .
For very expensive query filters (cost >= 100) if the query implements
the PostFilter interface, it will be used to obtain a Collector that is
checked only for documents that match the main query and all other filters.
The "frange" query now implements the PostFilter interface. (yonik)

* SOLR-2630: Added new XsltUpdateRequestHandler that works like


XmlUpdateRequestHandler but allows to transform the POSTed XML document
using XSLT. This allows to POST arbitrary XML documents to the update
handler, as long as you also provide a XSL to transform them to a valid
Solr input document. (Upayavira, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-2615: Log individual updates (adds and deletes) at the FINE level
before adding to the index. Fix a null pointer exception in logging
when there was no unique key. (David Smiley via yonik)

* LUCENE-2048: Added omitPositions to the schema, so you can omit position


information while still indexing term frequencies. (rmuir)

* SOLR-2584: add UniqFieldsUpdateProcessor that removes duplicate values in the


specified fields. (Elmer Garduno, koji)

* SOLR-2670: Added NIOFSDirectoryFactory (yonik)

* SOLR-2523: Added support in SolrJ to easily interact with range facets.


The range facet response can be parsed and is retrievable from the
QueryResponse class. The SolrQuery class has convenient methods for using
range facets. (Martijn van Groningen)
* SOLR-2637: Added support for group result parsing in SolrJ.
(Tao Cheng, Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-2665: Added post group faceting. Facet counts are based on the most
relevant document of each group matching the query. This feature has the
same impact on the StatsComponent. (Martijn van Groningen)

* SOLR-2675: CoreAdminHandler now allows arbitrary properties to be


specified when CREATEing a new SolrCore using property.* request
params. (Yury Kats, hossman)

* SOLR-2714: JSON update format - "null" field values are now dropped
instead of causing an exception. (Trygve Laugstøl, yonik)

Optimizations
----------------------

* LUCENE-3233: Improved memory usage, build time, and performance of


SynonymFilterFactory. (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-2625: TermVectorComponent throws NPE if TF-IDF option is used without DF


option. (Daniel Erenrich, Simon Willnauer)

* SOLR-2631: PingRequestHandler should not allow to ping itself using "qt"


param to prevent infinite loop. (Edoardo Tosca, Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-2636: Fix explain functionality for negative queries. (Tom Hill via yonik)

* SOLR-2538: Range Faceting on long/double fields could overflow if values


bigger then the max int/float were used.
(Erbi Hanka, hossman)

* SOLR-2230: CommonsHttpSolrServer.addFile could not be used to send


multiple files in a single request.
(Stephan Günther, hossman)

* SOLR-2541: PluginInfos was not correctly parsing <long/> tags when


initializing plugins
(Frank Wesemann, hossman)

* SOLR-2623: Solr JMX MBeans do not survive core reloads (Alexey Serba, shalin)

* Fixed grouping bug when start is bigger than rows and format is simple that zero
documents are returned even
if there are documents to display. (Martijn van Groningen, Nikhil Chhaochharia)

* SOLR-2564: Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when using simple format and


start > 0 (Martijn van Groningen, Matteo Melli)

* SOLR-2642: Fixed sorting by function when using grouping. (Thomas Heigl, Martijn
van Groningen)

* SOLR-2535: REGRESSION: in Solr 3.x and trunk the admin/file handler


fails to show directory listings (David Smiley, Peter Wolanin via Erick Erickson)
* SOLR-2545: ExternalFileField file parsing would fail if any key
contained an "=" character. It now only looks for the last "=" delimiter
prior to the float value.
(Markus Jelsma, hossman)

* SOLR-2662: When Solr is configured to have no queryResultCache, the


"start" parameter was not honored and the documents returned were
0 through start+offset. (Markus Jelsma, yonik)

* SOLR-2669: Fix backwards validation of field properties in


SchemaField.calcProps (hossman)

* SOLR-2676: Add "welcome-file-list" to solr.war so admin UI works correctly


in servlet containers such as WebSphere that do not use a default list
(Jay R. Jaeger, hossman)

* SOLR-2606: Fixed sort parsing of fields containing punctuation that


failed due to sort by function changes introduced in SOLR-1297
(Mitsu Hadeishi, hossman)

* SOLR-2706: contrib/clustering: The carrot.lexicalResourcesDir parameter


now works with absolute directories (Stanislaw Osinski)

* SOLR-2692: contrib/clustering: Typo in param name fixed: "carrot.fragzise"


changed to "carrot.fragSize" (Stanislaw Osinski).

* SOLR-2644: When using DIH with threads=2 the default logging is set too high
(Bill Bell via shalin)

* SOLR-2492: DIH does not commit if only deletes are processed


(James Dyer via shalin)

* SOLR-2186: DataImportHandler's multi-threaded option throws NPE


(Lance Norskog, Frank Wesemann, shalin)

* SOLR-2655: DIH multi threaded mode does not resolve attributes correctly
(Frank Wesemann, shalin)

* SOLR-2695: DIH: Documents are collected in unsynchronized list in


multi-threaded debug mode (Michael McCandless, shalin)

* SOLR-2668: DIH multithreaded mode does not rollback on errors from


EntityProcessor (Frank Wesemann, shalin)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-2629: Eliminate deprecation warnings in some JSPs.


(Bernd Fehling, hossman)

* SOLR-2743: Remove commons logging from contrib/extraction. (koji)

Build
----------------------

* SOLR-2452,SOLR-2653,LUCENE-3323,SOLR-2659,LUCENE-3329,SOLR-2666:
Rewrote the Solr build system:
- Integrated more fully with the Lucene build system: generalized the
Lucene build system and eliminated duplication.
- Converted all Solr contribs to the Lucene/Solr conventional src/ layout:
java/, resources/, test/, and test-files/<contrib-name>.
- Created a new Solr-internal module named "core" by moving the java/,
test/, and test-files/ directories from solr/src/ to solr/core/src/.
- Merged solr/src/webapp/src/ into solr/core/src/java/.
- Eliminated solr/src/ by moving all its directories up one level;
renamed solr/src/site/ to solr/site-src/ because solr/site/ already
exists.
- Merged solr/src/common/ into solr/solrj/src/java/.
- Moved o.a.s.client.solrj.* and o.a.s.common.* tests from
solr/src/test/ to solr/solrj/src/test/.
- Made the solrj tests not depend on the solr core tests by moving
some classes from solr/src/test/ to solr/test-framework/src/java/.
- Each internal module (core/, solrj/, test-framework/, and webapp/)
now has its own build.xml, from which it is possible to run
module-specific targets. solr/build.xml delegates all build
tasks (via <ant dir="internal-module-dir"> calls) to these
modules' build.xml files.
(Steve Rowe, Robert Muir)

* LUCENE-3406: Add ant target 'package-local-src-tgz' to Lucene and Solr


to package sources from the local working copy.
(Seung-Yeoul Yang via Steve Rowe)

Documentation
----------------------

================== 3.3.0 ==================

Upgrading from Solr 3.2.0


----------------------
* SolrCore's CloseHook API has been changed in a backward-incompatible way. It
has been changed from an interface to an abstract class. Any custom
components which use the SolrCore.addCloseHook method will need to
be modified accordingly. To migrate, put your old CloseHook#close impl into
CloseHook#preClose.

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-2378: A new, automaton-based, implementation of suggest (autocomplete)


component, offering an order of magnitude smaller memory consumption
compared to ternary trees and jaspell and very fast lookups at runtime.
(Dawid Weiss)

* SOLR-2400: Field- and DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler now provide a position


history for each token, so you can follow the token through all analysis stages.
The output contains a separate int[] attribute containing all positions from
previous Tokenizers/TokenFilters (called "positionHistory").
(Uwe Schindler)

* SOLR-2524: (SOLR-236, SOLR-237, SOLR-1773, SOLR-1311) Grouping / Field collapsing


using the Lucene grouping contrib. The search result can be grouped by field and
query.
(Martijn van Groningen, Emmanuel Keller, Shalin Shekhar Mangar, Koji Sekiguchi,
Iván de Prado, Ryan McKinley, Marc Sturlese, Peter Karich, Bojan Smid,
Charles Hornberger, Dieter Grad, Dmitry Lihachev, Doug Steigerwald,
Karsten Sperling, Michael Gundlach, Oleg Gnatovskiy, Thomas Traeger,
Harish Agarwal, yonik, Michael McCandless, Bill Bell)

* SOLR-1331 -- Added a srcCore parameter to CoreAdminHandler's mergeindexes action


to merge one or more cores' indexes to a target core (shalin)

* SOLR-2610 -- Add an option to delete index through CoreAdmin UNLOAD action


(shalin)

* SOLR-2480: Add ignoreTikaException flag to the extraction request handler so


that users can ignore TikaException but index meta data.
(Shinichiro Abe, koji)

* SOLR-2582: Use uniqueKey for error log in UIMAUpdateRequestProcessor.


(Tommaso Teofili via koji)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-2567: Solr now defaults to TieredMergePolicy. See


http://s.apache.org/merging
for more information. (rmuir)

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-2519: Improve text_* fieldTypes in example schema.xml: improve


cross-language defaults for text_general; break out separate
English-specific fieldTypes (Jan Høydahl, hossman, Robert Muir,
yonik, Mike McCandless)

* SOLR-2462: Fix extremely high memory usage problems with spellcheck.collate.


Separately, an additional spellcheck.maxCollationEvaluations (default=10000)
parameter is added to avoid excessive CPU time in extreme cases (e.g. long
queries with many misspelled words). (James Dyer via rmuir)

* SOLR-2579: UIMAUpdateRequestProcessor ignore error fails if text.length() < 100.


(Elmer Garduno via koji)

* SOLR-2581: UIMAToSolrMapper wrongly instantiates Type with reflection.


(Tommaso Teofili via koji)

* SOLR-2551: Check dataimport.properties for write access (if delta-import is


supported in DIH configuration) before starting an import (C S, shalin)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-2571: Add a commented out example of the spellchecker's


thresholdTokenFrequency
parameter to the example solrconfig.xml, and also add a unit test for this
feature.
(James Dyer via rmuir)

* SOLR-2576: Deprecate SpellingResult.add(Token token, int docFreq), please use


SpellingResult.addFrequency(Token token, int docFreq) instead.
(James Dyer via rmuir)

* SOLR-2574: Upgrade slf4j to v1.6.1 (shalin)


* LUCENE-3204: The maven-ant-tasks jar is now included in the source tree;
users of the generate-maven-artifacts target no longer have to manually
place this jar in the Ant classpath. NOTE: when Ant looks for the
maven-ant-tasks jar, it looks first in its pre-existing classpath, so
any copies it finds will be used instead of the copy included in the
Lucene/Solr source tree. For this reason, it is recommeded to remove
any copies of the maven-ant-tasks jar in the Ant classpath, e.g. under
~/.ant/lib/ or under the Ant installation's lib/ directory. (Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-2611: Fix typos in the example configuration (Eric Pugh via rmuir)

================== 3.2.0 ==================


Versions of Major Components
---------------------
Apache Lucene trunk
Apache Tika 0.8
Carrot2 3.4.2

Upgrading from Solr 3.1


----------------------

* The updateRequestProcessorChain for a RequestHandler is now defined


with update.chain rather than update.processor. The latter still works,
but has been deprecated.

* <uimaConfig/> just beneath <config> ... </config> is no longer supported.


It should move to UIMAUpdateRequestProcessorFactory setting.
See contrib/uima/README.txt for more details. (SOLR-2436)

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-2496: Add ability to specify overwrite and commitWithin as request


parameters (e.g. specified in the URL) when using the JSON update format,
and added a simplified format for specifying multiple documents.
Example: [{"id":"doc1"},{"id":"doc2"}]
(yonik)

* SOLR-2113: Add TermQParserPlugin, registered as "term". This is useful


when generating filter queries from terms returned from field faceting or
the terms component. Example: fq={!term f=weight}1.5 (hossman, yonik)

* SOLR-1915: DebugComponent now supports using a NamedList to model


Explanation objects in its responses instead of
Explanation.toString (hossman)

* SOLR-2448: Search results clustering updates: bisecting k-means


clustering algorithm added, loading of Carrot2 stop words from
<solr.home>/conf/carrot2 (SOLR-2449), using Solr's stopwords.txt
for clustering (SOLR-2450), output of cluster scores (SOLR-2505)
(Stanislaw Osinski, Dawid Weiss).

* SOLR-2503: extend UIMAUpdateRequestProcessorFactory mapping function to


map feature value to dynamicField. (koji)
* SOLR-2512: add ignoreErrors flag to UIMAUpdateRequestProcessorFactory so
that users can ignore exceptions in AE. (Tommaso Teofili, koji)

Optimizations
----------------------

Bug Fixes
----------------------

* SOLR-2445: Change the default qt to blank in form.jsp, because there is no


"standard"
request handler unless you have it in your solrconfig.xml explicitly. (koji)

* SOLR-2455: Prevent double submit of forms in admin interface.


(Jeffrey Chang via uschindler)

* SOLR-2464: Fix potential slowness in QueryValueSource (the query() function) when


the query is very sparse and may not match any documents in a segment. (yonik)

* SOLR-2469: When using java replication with replicateAfter=startup, the first


commit point on server startup is never removed. (yonik)

* SOLR-2466: SolrJ's CommonsHttpSolrServer would retry requests on failure,


regardless
of the configured maxRetries, due to HttpClient having its own retry mechanism
by default. The retryCount of HttpClient is now set to 0, and SolrJ does
the retry. (yonik)

* SOLR-2409: edismax parser - treat the text of a fielded query as a literal if the
fieldname does not exist. For example Mission: Impossible should not search on
the "Mission" field unless it's a valid field in the schema. (Ryan McKinley,
yonik)

* SOLR-2403: facet.sort=index reported incorrect results for distributed search


in a number of scenarios when facet.mincount>0. This patch also adds some
performance/algorithmic improvements when (facet.sort=count && facet.mincount=1
&& facet.limit=-1) and when (facet.sort=index && facet.mincount>0) (yonik)

* SOLR-2333: The "rename" core admin action does not persist the new name to
solr.xml
(Rasmus Hahn, Paul R. Brown via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2390: Performance of usePhraseHighlighter is terrible on very large


Documents,
regardless of hl.maxDocCharsToAnalyze. (Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2474: The helper TokenStreams in analysis.jsp and AnalysisRequestHandlerBase


did not clear all attributes so they displayed incorrect attribute values for
tokens
in later filter stages. (uschindler, rmuir, yonik)

* SOLR-2467: Fix <analyzer class="..." /> initialization so any errors


are logged properly. (hossman)

* SOLR-2493: SolrQueryParser was fixed to not parse the SolrConfig DOM tree on each
instantiation which is a huge slowdown. (Stephane Bailliez via uschindler)

* SOLR-2495: The JSON parser could hang on corrupted input and could fail
to detect numbers that were too large to fit in a long. (yonik)

* SOLR-2520: Make JSON response format escape \u2029 as well as \u2028


in strings since those characters are not valid in javascript strings
(although they are valid in JSON strings). (yonik)

* SOLR-2536: Add ReloadCacheRequestHandler to fix ExternalFileField bug (if


reopenReaders
set to true and no index segments have been changed, commit cannot trigger reload
external file). (koji)

* SOLR-2539: VectorValueSource.floatVal incorrectly used byteVal on sub-sources.


(Tom Liu via yonik)

* SOLR-2554: RandomSortField didn't work when used in a function query. (yonik)

Other Changes
----------------------

* SOLR-2061: Pull base tests out into a new Solr Test Framework module,
and publish binary, javadoc, and source test-framework jars.
(Drew Farris, Robert Muir, Steve Rowe)

* SOLR-2105: Rename RequestHandler param 'update.processor' to 'update.chain'.


(Jan Høydahl via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2485: Deprecate BaseResponseWriter, GenericBinaryResponseWriter, and


GenericTextResponseWriter. These classes will be removed in 4.0. (ryan)

* SOLR-2451: Enhance assertJQ to allow individual tests to specify the


tolerance delta used in numeric equalities. This allows for slight
variance in asserting score comparisons in unit tests.
(David Smiley, Chris Hostetter)

* SOLR-2528: Remove default="true" from HtmlEncoder in example solrconfig.xml,


because html encoding confuses non-ascii users. (koji)

* SOLR-2387: add mock annotators for improved testing in contrib/uima,


(Tommaso Teofili via rmuir)

* SOLR-2436: move uimaConfig to under the uima's update processor in


solrconfig.xml. (Tommaso Teofili, koji)

Build
----------------------

* LUCENE-3006: Building javadocs will fail on warnings by default. Override with -


Dfailonjavadocwarning=false (sarowe, gsingers)

Documentation
----------------------

================== 3.1.0 ==================


Versions of Major Components
---------------------
Apache Lucene 3.1.0
Apache Tika 0.8
Carrot2 3.4.2
Velocity 1.6.1 and Velocity Tools 2.0-beta3
Apache UIMA 2.3.1-SNAPSHOT

Upgrading from Solr 1.4


----------------------

* The Lucene index format has changed and as a result, once you upgrade,
previous versions of Solr will no longer be able to read your indices.
In a master/slave configuration, all searchers/slaves should be upgraded
before the master. If the master were to be updated first, the older
searchers would not be able to read the new index format.

* The Solr JavaBin format has changed as of Solr 3.1. If you are using the
JavaBin format, you will need to upgrade your SolrJ client. (SOLR-2034)

* The experimental ALIAS command has been removed (SOLR-1637)

* Using solr.xml is recommended for single cores also (SOLR-1621)

* Old syntax of <highlighting> configuration in solrconfig.xml


is deprecated (SOLR-1696)

* The deprecated HTMLStripReader, HTMLStripWhitespaceTokenizerFactory and


HTMLStripStandardTokenizerFactory were removed. To strip HTML tags,
HTMLStripCharFilter should be used instead, and it works with any
Tokenizer of your choice. (SOLR-1657)

* Field compression is no longer supported. Fields that were formerly


compressed will be uncompressed as index segments are merged. For
shorter fields, this may actually be an improvement, as the compression
used was not very good for short text. Some indexes may get larger though.

* SOLR-1845: The TermsComponent response format was changed so that the


"terms" container is a map instead of a named list. This affects
response formats like JSON, but not XML. (yonik)

* SOLR-1876: All Analyzers and TokenStreams are now final to enforce


the decorator pattern. (rmuir, uschindler)

* LUCENE-2608: Added the ability to specify the accuracy on a per request basis.
It is recommended that implementations of SolrSpellChecker should change over to
the new SolrSpellChecker
methods using the new SpellingOptions class, but are not required to. While this
change is
backward compatible, the trunk version of Solr has already dropped support for
all but the SpellingOptions method. (gsingers)

* readercycle script was removed. (SOLR-2046)

* In previous releases, sorting or evaluating function queries on


fields that were "multiValued" (either by explicit declaration in
schema.xml or by implict behavior because the "version" attribute on
the schema was less then 1.2) did not generally work, but it would
sometimes silently act as if it succeeded and order the docs
arbitrarily. Solr will now fail on any attempt to sort, or apply a
function to, multi-valued fields
* The DataImportHandler jars are no longer included in the solr
WAR and should be added in Solr's lib directory, or referenced
via the <lib> directive in solrconfig.xml.

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------

* SOLR-1302: Added several new distance based functions, including


Great Circle (haversine), Manhattan, Euclidean and String (using the
StringDistance methods in the Lucene spellchecker).
Also added geohash(), deg() and rad() convenience functions.
See https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/query-guide/function-queries.html
(gsingers)

* SOLR-1553: New dismax parser implementation (accessible as "edismax")


that supports full lucene syntax, improved reserved char escaping,
fielded queries, improved proximity boosting, and improved stopword
handling. Note: status is experimental for now. (yonik)

* SOLR-1574: Add many new functions from java Math (e.g. sin, cos) (yonik)

* SOLR-1569: Allow functions to take in literal strings by modifying the


FunctionQParser and adding LiteralValueSource (gsingers)

* SOLR-1571: Added unicode collation support though Lucene's CollationKeyFilter


(Robert Muir via shalin)

* SOLR-785: Distributed Search support for SpellCheckComponent


(Matthew Woytowitz, shalin)

* SOLR-1625: Add regexp support for TermsComponent (Uri Boness via noble)

* SOLR-1297: Add sort by Function capability (gsingers, yonik)

* SOLR-1139: Add TermsComponent Query and Response Support in SolrJ (Matt Weber via
shalin)

* SOLR-1177: Distributed Search support for TermsComponent (Matt Weber via shalin)

* SOLR-1621, SOLR-1722: Allow current single core deployments to be specified by


solr.xml (Mark Miller , noble)

* SOLR-1532: Allow StreamingUpdateSolrServer to use a provided HttpClient (Gabriele


Renzi via shalin)

* SOLR-1653: Add PatternReplaceCharFilter (koji)

* SOLR-1131: FieldTypes can now output multiple Fields per Type and still be
searched. This can be handy for hiding the details of a particular
implementation such as in the spatial case. (Chris Mattmann, shalin, noble,
gsingers, yonik)

* SOLR-1586: Add support for Geohash and Spatial Tile FieldType (Chris Mattmann,
gsingers)
* SOLR-1697: PluginInfo should load plugins w/o class attribute also (noble)

* SOLR-1268: Incorporate FastVectorHighlighter (koji)

* SOLR-1750: SolrInfoMBeanHandler added for simpler programmatic access


to info currently available from registry.jsp and stats.jsp
(ehatcher, hossman)

* SOLR-1815: SolrJ now preserves the order of facet queries. (yonik)

* SOLR-1677: Add support for choosing the Lucene Version for Lucene components
within
Solr. (Uwe Schindler, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-1379: Add RAMDirectoryFactory for non-persistent in memory index storage.


(Alex Baranov via yonik)

* SOLR-1857: Synced Solr analysis with Lucene 3.1. Added KeywordMarkerFilterFactory


and StemmerOverrideFilterFactory, which can be used to tune stemming algorithms.
Added factories for Bulgarian, Czech, Hindi, Turkish, and Wikipedia analysis.
Improved the
performance of SnowballPorterFilterFactory. (rmuir)

* SOLR-1657: Converted remaining TokenStreams to the Attributes-based API. All Solr


TokenFilters now support custom Attributes, and some have improved performance:
especially WordDelimiterFilter and CommonGramsFilter. (rmuir, cmale, uschindler)

* SOLR-1740: ShingleFilterFactory supports the "minShingleSize" and


"tokenSeparator"
parameters for controlling the minimum shingle size produced by the filter, and
the separator string that it uses, respectively. (Steven Rowe via rmuir)

* SOLR-744: ShingleFilterFactory supports the "outputUnigramsIfNoShingles"


parameter, to output unigrams if the number of input tokens is fewer than
minShingleSize, and no shingles can be generated.
(Chris Harris via Steven Rowe)

* SOLR-1923: PhoneticFilterFactory now has support for the


Caverphone algorithm. (rmuir)

* SOLR-1957: The VelocityResponseWriter contrib moved to core.


Example search UI now available at http://localhost:8983/solr/browse
(ehatcher)

* SOLR-1974: Add LimitTokenCountFilterFactory. (koji)

* SOLR-1966: QueryElevationComponent can now return just the included results in


the elevation file (gsingers, yonik)

* SOLR-1556: TermVectorComponent now supports per field overrides. Also, it now


throws an error
if passed in fields do not exist and warnings
if fields that do not have term vector options (termVectors, offsets, positions)
that align with the schema declaration. It also
will now return warnings about (gsingers)

* SOLR-1985: FastVectorHighlighter: add wrapper class for Lucene's


SingleFragListBuilder (koji)
* SOLR-1984: Add HyphenationCompoundWordTokenFilterFactory. (PB via rmuir)

* SOLR-397: Date Faceting now supports a "facet.date.include" param


for specifying when the upper & lower end points of computed date
ranges should be included in the range. Legal values are: "all",
"lower", "upper", "edge", and "outer". For backwards compatibility
the default value is the set: [lower,upper,edge], so that all ranges
between start and end are inclusive of their endpoints, but the
"before" and "after" ranges are not.

* SOLR-945: JSON update handler that accepts add, delete, commit


commands in JSON format. (Ryan McKinley, yonik)

* SOLR-2015: Add a boolean attribute autoGeneratePhraseQueries to TextField.


autoGeneratePhraseQueries="true" (the default) causes the query parser to
generate phrase queries if multiple tokens are generated from a single
non-quoted analysis string. For example WordDelimiterFilter splitting text:pdp-
11
will cause the parser to generate text:"pdp 11" rather than (text:PDP OR
text:11).
Note that autoGeneratePhraseQueries="true" tends to not work well for non
whitespace
delimited languages. (yonik)

* SOLR-1925: Add CSVResponseWriter (use wt=csv) that returns the list of documents
in CSV format. (Chris Mattmann, yonik)

* SOLR-1240: "Range Faceting" has been added. This is a generalization


of the existing "Date Faceting" logic so that it now supports any
all stock numeric field types that support range queries in addition
to dates. facet.date is now deprecated in favor of this generalized mechanism.
(Gijs Kunze, hossman)

* SOLR-2021: Add SolrEncoder plugin to Highlighter. (koji)

* SOLR-2030: Make FastVectorHighlighter use of SolrEncoder. (koji)

* SOLR-2053: Add support for custom comparators in Solr spellchecker, per LUCENE-
2479 (gsingers)

* SOLR-2049: Add hl.multiValuedSeparatorChar for FastVectorHighlighter, per LUCENE-


2603. (koji)

* SOLR-2059: Add "types" attribute to WordDelimiterFilterFactory, which


allows you to customize how WordDelimiterFilter tokenizes text with
a configuration file. (Peter Karich, rmuir)

* SOLR-2099: Add ability to throttle rsync based replication using rsync option --
bwlimit.
(Brandon Evans via koji)

* SOLR-1316: Create autosuggest component.


(Ankul Garg, Jason Rutherglen, Shalin Shekhar Mangar, Grant Ingersoll, Robert
Muir, ab)

* SOLR-1568: Added "native" filtering support for PointType, GeohashField. Added


LatLonType with filtering support too. See
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpatialSearch and the example. Refactored some items
in Lucene spatial.
Removed SpatialTileField as the underlying CartesianTier is broken beyond repair
and is going to be moved. (gsingers)

* SOLR-2128: Full parameter substitution for function queries.


Example: q=add($v1,$v2)&v1=mul(popularity,5)&v2=20.0
(yonik)

* SOLR-2133: Function query parser can now parse multiple comma separated
value sources. It also now fails if there is extra unexpected text
after parsing the functions, instead of silently ignoring it.
This allows expressions like q=dist(2,vector(1,2),$pt)&pt=3,4 (yonik)

* SOLR-2157: Suggester should return alpha-sorted results when


onlyMorePopular=false (ab)

* SOLR-2010: Added ability to verify that spell checking collations have


actual results in the index. (James Dyer via gsingers)

* SOLR-2188: Added "maxTokenLength" argument to the factories for ClassicTokenizer,


StandardTokenizer, and UAX29URLEmailTokenizer. (Steven Rowe)

* SOLR-2129: Added a Solr module for dynamic metadata extraction/indexing with


Apache UIMA.
See contrib/uima/README.txt for more information. (Tommaso Teofili via rmuir)

* SOLR-2325: Allow tagging and exclusion of main query for faceting. (yonik)

* SOLR-2263: Add ability for RawResponseWriter to stream binary files as well as


text files. (Eric Pugh via yonik)

* SOLR-860: Add debug output for MoreLikeThis. (koji)

* SOLR-1057: Add PathHierarchyTokenizerFactory. (ryan, koji)

* SOLR-1804: Re-enabled clustering component on trunk, updated to latest


version of Carrot2. No more LGPL run-time dependencies. This release of
C2 also does not have a specific Lucene dependency.
(Stanislaw Osinski, gsingers)

* SOLR-2282: Add distributed search support for search result clustering.


(Brad Giaccio, Dawid Weiss, Stanislaw Osinski, rmuir, koji)

* SOLR-2210: Add icu-based tokenizer and filters to contrib/analysis-extras (rmuir)

* SOLR-1336: Add SmartChinese (word segmentation for Simplified Chinese)


tokenizer and filters to contrib/analysis-extras (rmuir)

* SOLR-2211,LUCENE-2763: Added UAX29URLEmailTokenizerFactory, which implements


UAX#29, a unicode algorithm with good results for most languages, as well as
URL and E-mail tokenization according to the relevant RFCs.
(Tom Burton-West via rmuir)

* SOLR-2237: Added StempelPolishStemFilterFactory to contrib/analysis-extras


(rmuir)

* SOLR-1525: allow DIH to refer to core properties (noble)

* SOLR-1547: DIH TemplateTransformer copy objects more intelligently when the


template is a single variable (noble)

* SOLR-1627: DIH VariableResolver should be fetched just in time (noble)

* SOLR-1583: DIH Create DataSources that return InputStream (noble)

* SOLR-1358: Integration of Tika and DataImportHandler (Akshay Ukey, noble)

* SOLR-1654: TikaEntityProcessor example added DIHExample


(Akshay Ukey via noble)

* SOLR-1678: Move onError handling to DIH framework (noble)

* SOLR-1352: Multi-threaded implementation of DIH (noble)

* SOLR-1721: Add explicit option to run DataImportHandler in synchronous mode


(Alexey Serba via noble)

* SOLR-1737: Added FieldStreamDataSource (noble)

Optimizations
----------------------

* SOLR-1679: Don't build up string messages in SolrCore.execute unless they


are necessary for the current log level.
(Fuad Efendi and hossman)

* SOLR-1874: Optimize PatternReplaceFilter for better performance. (rmuir,


uschindler)

* SOLR-1968: speed up initial filter cache population for facet.method=enum and


also big terms for multi-valued facet.method=fc. The resulting speedup
for the first facet request is anywhere from 30% to 32x, depending on how many
terms are in the field and how many documents match per term. (yonik)

* SOLR-2089: Speed up UnInvertedField faceting (facet.method=fc for


multi-valued fields) when facet.limit is both high, and a high enough
percentage of the number of unique terms in the field. Extreme cases
yield speedups over 3x. (yonik)

* SOLR-2046: add common functions to scripts-util. (koji)

* SOLR-1684: Switch clustering component to use the


SolrIndexSearcher.doc(int, Set<String>) method b/c it can use the document
cache (gsingers)

* SOLR-2200: Improve the performance of DataImportHandler for large


delta-import updates. (Mark Waddle via rmuir)

Bug Fixes
----------------------
* SOLR-1769: Solr 1.4 Replication - Repeater throwing NullPointerException (Jörgen
Rydenius via noble)

* SOLR-1432: Make the new ValueSource.getValues(context,reader) delegate


to the original ValueSource.getValues(reader) so custom sources
will work. (yonik)
* SOLR-1572: FastLRUCache correctly implemented the LRU policy only
for the first 2B accesses. (yonik)

* SOLR-1582: copyField was ignored for BinaryField types (gsingers)

* SOLR-1563: Binary fields, including trie-based numeric fields, caused null


pointer exceptions in the luke request handler. (yonik)

* SOLR-1577: The example solrconfig.xml defaulted to a solr data dir


relative to the current working directory, even if a different solr home
was being used. The new behavior changes the default to a zero length
string, which is treated the same as if no dataDir had been specified,
hence the "data" directory under the solr home will be used. (yonik)

* SOLR-1584: SolrJ - SolrQuery.setIncludeScore() incorrectly added


fl=score to the parameter list instead of appending score to the
existing field list. (yonik)

* SOLR-1580: Solr Configuration ignores 'mergeFactor' parameter, always


uses Lucene default. (Lance Norskog via Mark Miller)

* SOLR-1593: ReverseWildcardFilter didn't work for surrogate pairs


(i.e. code points outside of the BMP), resulting in incorrect
matching. This change requires reindexing for any content with
such characters. (Robert Muir, yonik)

* SOLR-1596: A rollback operation followed by the shutdown of Solr


or the close of a core resulted in a warning:
"SEVERE: SolrIndexWriter was not closed prior to finalize()" although
there were no other consequences. (yonik)

* SOLR-1595: StreamingUpdateSolrServer used the platform default character


set when streaming updates, rather than using UTF-8 as the HTTP headers
indicated, leading to an encoding mismatch. (hossman, yonik)

* SOLR-1587: A distributed search request with fl=score, didn't match


the behavior of a non-distributed request since it only returned
the id,score fields instead of all fields in addition to score. (yonik)

* SOLR-1601: Schema browser does not indicate presence of charFilter. (koji)

* SOLR-1615: Backslash escaping did not work in quoted strings


for local param arguments. (Wojtek Piaseczny, yonik)

* SOLR-1628: log contains incorrect number of adds and deletes.


(Thijs Vonk via yonik)

* SOLR-343: Date faceting now respects facet.mincount limiting


(Uri Boness, Raiko Eckstein via hossman)

* SOLR-1624: Highlighter only highlights values from the first field value
in a multivalued field when term positions (term vectors) are stored.
(Chris Harris via yonik)

* SOLR-1635: Fixed error message when numeric values can't be parsed by


DOMUtils - notably for plugin init params in solrconfig.xml.
(hossman)

* SOLR-1651: Fixed Incorrect dataimport handler package name in SolrResourceLoader


(Akshay Ukey via shalin)

* SOLR-1660: CapitalizationFilter crashes if you use the maxWordCountOption


(Robert Muir via shalin)

* SOLR-1667: PatternTokenizer does not reset attributes such as


positionIncrementGap
(Robert Muir via shalin)

* SOLR-1711: SolrJ - StreamingUpdateSolrServer had a race condition that


could halt the streaming of documents. The original patch to fix this
(never officially released) introduced another hanging bug due to
connections not being released.
(Attila Babo, Erik Hetzner, Johannes Tuchscherer via yonik)

* SOLR-1748, SOLR-1747, SOLR-1746, SOLR-1745, SOLR-1744: Streams and Readers

* SOLR-2261: fix velocity template layout.vm that referred to an older


version of jquery. (Eric Pugh via rmuir)

* SOLR-2307: fix bug in PHPSerializedResponseWriter (wt=phps) when


dealing with SolrDocumentList objects -- ie: sharded queries.
(Antonio Verni via hossman)

serializing.
(Ephraim Ofir, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-2320: Fixed ReplicationHandler detail reporting for masters


(hossman)

* SOLR-482: Provide more exception handling in CSVLoader (gsingers)

* SOLR-1283: HTMLStripCharFilter sometimes threw a "Mark Invalid" exception.


(Julien Coloos, hossman, yonik)

* SOLR-2085: Improve SolrJ behavior when FacetComponent comes before


QueryComponent (Tomas Salfischberger via hossman)

* SOLR-1940: Fix SolrDispatchFilter behavior when Content-Type is


unknown (Lance Norskog and hossman)

DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler to respect charset from XML file and only
use HTTP header's "Content-Type" as a "hint". (uschindler)

* SOLR-2339: Fix sorting to explicitly generate an error if you


attempt to sort on a multiValued field. (hossman)

* SOLR-2348: Fix field types to explicitly generate an error if you


attempt to get a ValueSource for a multiValued field. (hossman)

* SOLR-2380: Distributed faceting could miss values when facet.sort=index


and when facet.offset was greater than 0. (yonik)

* SOLR-1656: XIncludes and other HREFs in XML files loaded by ResourceLoader


are fixed to be resolved using the URI standard (RFC 2396). The system
identifier is no longer a plain filename with path, it gets initialized
using a custom URI scheme "solrres:". This scheme is resolved using a
EntityResolver that utilizes ResourceLoader
(org.apache.solr.common.util.SystemIdResolver). This makes all relative
pathes in Solr's config files behave like expected. This change
introduces some backwards breaks in the API: Some config classes
(Config, SolrConfig, IndexSchema) were changed to take
org.xml.sax.InputSource instead of InputStream. There may also be some
backwards breaks in existing config files, it is recommended to check
your config files / XSLTs and replace all XIncludes/HREFs that were
hacked to use absolute paths to use relative ones. (uschindler)

* SOLR-309: Fix FieldType so setting an analyzer on a FieldType that


doesn't expect it will generate an error. Practically speaking this
means that Solr will now correctly generate an error on
initialization if the schema.xml contains an analyzer configuration
for a fieldType that does not use TextField. (hossman)

* SOLR-2192: StreamingUpdateSolrServer.blockUntilFinished was not


thread safe and could throw an exception. (yonik)

* SOLR-1692: Fix bug in clustering component relating to carrot.produceSummary


option (gsingers)

* SOLR-1756: The date.format setting for extraction request handler causes


ClassCastException when enabled and the config code that parses this setting
does not properly use the same iterator instance.
(Christoph Brill, Mark Miller)

* SOLR-1638: Fixed NullPointerException during DIH import if uniqueKey is not


specified in schema (Akshay Ukey via shalin)

* SOLR-1639: Fixed misleading error message when dataimport.properties is not


writable (shalin)

* SOLR-1598: DIH: Reader used in PlainTextEntityProcessor is not explicitly


closed (Sascha Szott via noble)

* SOLR-1759: DIH: $skipDoc was not working correctly


(Gian Marco Tagliani via noble)

* SOLR-1762: DIH: DateFormatTransformer does not work correctly with


non-default locale dates (tommy chheng via noble)

* SOLR-1757: DIH multithreading sometimes throws NPE (noble)

* SOLR-1766: DIH with threads enabled doesn't respond to the abort command
(Michael Henson via noble)

* SOLR-1767: dataimporter.functions.escapeSql() does not escape backslash


character (Sean Timm via noble)

* SOLR-1811: formatDate should use the current NOW value always


(Sean Timm via noble)

* SOLR-1794: Dataimport of CLOB fields fails when getCharacterStream() is


defined in a superclass. (Gunnar Gauslaa Bergem via rmuir)

* SOLR-2057: DataImportHandler never calls UpdateRequestProcessor.finish()


(Drew Farris via koji)

* SOLR-1973: Empty fields in XML update messages confuse DataImportHandler.


(koji)
* SOLR-2221: Use StrUtils.parseBool() to get values of boolean options in DIH.
true/on/yes (for TRUE) and false/off/no (for FALSE) can be used for
sub-options (debug, verbose, synchronous, commit, clean, optimize) for
full/delta-import commands. (koji)

* SOLR-2310: DIH: getTimeElapsedSince() returns incorrect hour value when


the elapse is over 60 hours (tom liu via koji)

* SOLR-2252: DIH: When a child entity in nested entities is rootEntity="true",


delta-import doesn't work. (koji)

* SOLR-2330: solrconfig.xml files in example-DIH are broken. (Matt Parker, koji)

* SOLR-1191: resolve DataImportHandler deltaQuery column against pk when pk


has a prefix (e.g. pk="book.id" deltaQuery="select id from ..."). More
useful error reporting when no match found (previously failed with a
NullPointerException in log and no clear user feedback). (gthb via yonik)

* SOLR-2116: Fix TikaConfig classloader bug in TikaEntityProcessor


(Martijn van Groningen via hossman)

Other Changes
----------------------

implemented using StrField. In previous versions of Solr no warning or
error would be generated if you attempted to use QueryElevationComponent,
it would just fail in unexpected ways. This has been changed so that it
will fail with a clear error message on initialization. (hossman)

* SOLR-1611: Added Lucene 2.9.1 collation contrib jar to lib (shalin)

* SOLR-1608: Extract base class from TestDistributedSearch to make

(an extremely small) potential for deadlock.
(gabriele renzi via hossman)

* SOLR-1771: Improved error message when StringIndex cannot be initialized


for a function query (hossman)

* SOLR-1695: Improved error messages when adding a document that does not
contain exactly one value for the uniqueKey field (hossman)

* SOLR-1776: DismaxQParser and ExtendedDismaxQParser now use the schema.xml


"defaultSearchField" as the default value for the "qf" param instead of failing
with an error when "qf" is not specified. (hossman)

* SOLR-1851: luceneAutoCommit no longer has any effect - it has been remove (Mark
Miller)

* SOLR-1865: SolrResourceLoader.getLines ignores Byte Order Markers (BOMs) at the


beginning of input files, these are often created by editors such as Windows
Notepad. (rmuir, hossman)

* SOLR-1938: ElisionFilterFactory will use a default set of French contractions


if you do not supply a custom articles file. (rmuir)

* SOLR-2003: SolrResourceLoader will report any encoding errors, rather than


silently using replacement characters for invalid inputs (blargy via rmuir)

* SOLR-1804: Google collections updated to Google Guava (which is a superset of


collections and contains bug fixes) (gsingers)

* SOLR-2034: Switch to JavaBin codec version 2. Strings are now serialized


as the number of UTF-8 bytes, followed by the bytes in UTF-8. Previously
Strings were serialized as the number of UTF-16 chars, followed by the
bytes in Modified UTF-8. (hossman, yonik, rmuir)

* SOLR-2013: Add mapping-FoldToASCII.txt to example conf directory.


(Steven Rowe via koji)
* SOLR-2213: Upgrade to jQuery 1.4.3 (Erick Erickson via ryan)

* SOLR-1826: Add unit tests for highlighting with termOffsets=true


and overlapping tokens. (Stefan Oestreicher via rmuir)

exception. (koji)

* SOLR-2350: Since Solr no longer requires XML files to be in UTF-8

work with files of any mime-type or charset. (hossman)

* SOLR-2365: Move DIH jars out of solr.war (David Smiley via yonik)

* SOLR-2381: Include a patched version of Jetty (6.1.26 + JETTY-1340)


to fix problematic UTF-8 handling for supplementary characters.
(Bernd Fehling, uschindler, yonik, rmuir)

* SOLR-2391: The preferred Content-Type for XML was changed to


application/xml. XMLResponseWriter now only delivers using this
type; updating documents and analyzing documents is still supported
using text/xml as Content-Type, too. If you have clients that are
hardcoded on text/xml as Content-Type, you have to change them.
(uschindler, rmuir)

* SOLR-2414: All ResponseWriters now use only ServletOutputStreams


and wrap their own Writer around it when serializing. This fixes
the bug in PHPSerializedResponseWriter that produced wrong string
length if the servlet container had a broken UTF-8 encoding that was
in fact CESU-8 (see SOLR-1091). The system property to enable the
CESU-8 byte counting in PHPSerializesResponseWriters for broken
servlet containers was therefore removed and is now ignored if set.
Output is always UTF-8. (uschindler, yonik, rmuir)

* SOLR-141: Errors and Exceptions are formated by ResponseWriter.

================== Release 1.4.0 ==================


Release Date: See http://lucene.apache.org/solr for the official release date.

Upgrading from Solr 1.3


-----------------------

There is a new default faceting algorithm for multiVaued fields that should be
faster for most cases. One can revert to the previous algorithm (which has
also been improved somewhat) by adding facet.method=enum to the request.

Searching and sorting is now done on a per-segment basis, meaning that


the FieldCache entries used for sorting and for function queries are
created and used per-segment and can be reused for segments that don't
change between index updates. While generally beneficial, this can lead
to increased memory usage over 1.3 in certain scenarios:
1) A single valued field that was used for both sorting and faceting
in 1.3 would have used the same top level FieldCache entry. In 1.4,
sorting will use entries at the segment level while faceting will still
use entries at the top reader level, leading to increased memory usage.
2) Certain function queries such as ord() and rord() require a top level
FieldCache instance and can thus lead to increased memory usage. Consider
replacing ord() and rord() with alternatives, such as function queries
based on ms() for date boosting.

If you use custom Tokenizer or TokenFilter components in a chain specified in


schema.xml, they must support reusability. If your Tokenizer or TokenFilter
maintains state, it should implement reset(). If your TokenFilteFactory does
not return a subclass of TokenFilter, then it should implement reset() and call
reset() on its input TokenStream. TokenizerFactory implementations must
now return a Tokenizer rather than a TokenStream.

New users of Solr 1.4 will have omitTermFreqAndPositions enabled for non-text
indexed fields by default, which avoids indexing term frequency, positions, and
payloads, making the index smaller and faster. If you are upgrading from an
earlier Solr release and want to enable omitTermFreqAndPositions by default,
change the schema version from 1.1 to 1.2 in schema.xml. Remove any existing
index and restart Solr to ensure that omitTermFreqAndPositions completely takes
affect.

The default QParserPlugin used by the QueryComponent for parsing the "q" param
has been changed, to remove support for the deprecated use of ";" as a separator
between the query string and the sort options when no "sort" param was used.
Users who wish to continue using the semi-colon based method of specifying the
sort options should explicitly set the defType param to "lucenePlusSort" on all
requests. (The simplest way to do this is by specifying it as a default param
for your request handlers in solrconfig.xml, see the example solrconfig.xml for
sample syntax.)
If spellcheck.extendedResults=true, the response format for suggestions
has changed, see SOLR-1071.

Use of the "charset" option when configuring the following Analysis


Factories has been deprecated and will cause a warning to be logged.
In future versions of Solr attempting to use this option will cause an
error. See SOLR-1410 for more information.
- GreekLowerCaseFilterFactory
- RussianStemFilterFactory
- RussianLowerCaseFilterFactory
- RussianLetterTokenizerFactory

DIH: Evaluator API has been changed in a non back-compatible way. Users who
have developed custom Evaluators will need to change their code according to
the new API for it to work. See SOLR-996 for details.

DIH: The formatDate evaluator's syntax has been changed. The new syntax is
formatDate(<variable>, '<format_string>'). For example,
formatDate(x.date, 'yyyy-MM-dd'). In the old syntax, the date string was
written without a single-quotes. The old syntax has been deprecated and will
be removed in 1.5, until then, using the old syntax will log a warning.

DIH: The Context API has been changed in a non back-compatible way. In
particular, the Context.currentProcess() method now returns a String
describing the type of the current import process instead of an int.
Similarily, the public constants in Context viz. FULL_DUMP, DELTA_DUMP and
FIND_DELTA are changed to a String type. See SOLR-969 for details.

DIH: The EntityProcessor API has been simplified by moving logic for applying
transformers and handling multi-row outputs from Transformers into an
EntityProcessorWrapper class. The EntityProcessor#destroy is now called once
per parent-row at the end of row (end of data). A new method
EntityProcessor#close is added which is called at the end of import.

DIH: In Solr 1.3, if the last_index_time was not available (first import) and
a delta-import was requested, a full-import was run instead. This is no longer
the case. In Solr 1.4 delta import is run with last_index_time as the epoch
date (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT) if last_index_time is not available.

Versions of Major Components


----------------------------
Apache Lucene 2.9.1 (r832363 on 2.9 branch)
Apache Tika 0.4
Carrot2 3.1.0

Lucene Information
----------------

Since Solr is built on top of Lucene, many people add customizations to Solr
that are dependent on Lucene. Please see http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_0/,
especially http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_0/changes/Changes.html for more
information on the version of Lucene used in Solr.

Detailed Change List


----------------------

New Features
----------------------
1. SOLR-560: Use SLF4J logging API rather then JDK logging. The packaged .war
file is
shipped with a JDK logging implementation, so logging configuration for
the .war should
be identical to solr 1.3. However, if you are using the .jar file, you can
select
which logging implementation to use by dropping a different binding.
See: http://www.slf4j.org/ (ryan)

2. SOLR-617: Allow configurable index deletion policy and provide a default


implementation which
allows deletion of commit points on various criteria such as number of commits,
age of commit
point and optimized status.
See
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_2/api/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexDeletionPolicy
.html
(yonik, Noble Paul, Akshay Ukey via shalin)

3. SOLR-658: Allow Solr to load index from arbitrary directory in dataDir

44. SOLR-1141: NullPointerException during snapshoot command in java based
replication (Jian Han Guo, shalin)

45. SOLR-1078: Fixes to WordDelimiterFilter to avoid splitting or dropping


international non-letter characters such as non spacing marks. (yonik)

46. SOLR-825, SOLR-1221: Enables highlighting for range/wildcard/fuzzy/prefix


queries if using hl.usePhraseHighlighter=true
and hl.highlightMultiTerm=true. Also make both options default to true. (Mark
Miller, yonik)

47. SOLR-1174: Fix Logging admin form submit url for multicore. (Jacob Singh via
shalin)

48. SOLR-1182: Fix bug in OrdFieldSource#equals which could cause a bug with

on OrdFieldSource#hashcode collisions. (Mark Miller)

49. SOLR-1207: equals method should compare this and other of DocList in DocSetBase
(koji)

50. SOLR-1242: Human readable JVM info from system handler does integer cutoff
rounding, even when dealing
with GB. Fixed to round to one decimal place. (Jay Hill, Mark
Miller)

51. SOLR-1243: Admin RequestHandlers should not be cached over HTTP. (Mark Miller)

52. SOLR-1260: Fix implementations of set operations for DocList subclasses


and fix a bug in HashDocSet construction when offset != 0. These bugs
never manifested in normal Solr use and only potentially affect
custom code. (yonik)

57. SOLR-1360: Prevent PhoneticFilter from producing duplicate tokens. (yonik)

58. SOLR-1371: LukeRequestHandler/schema.jsp errored if schema had no


uniqueKey field. The new test for this also (hopefully) adds some
future proofing against similar bugs in the future. As a side
effect QueryElevationComponentTest was refactored, and a bug in
that test was found. (hossman)

59. SOLR-914: General finalize() improvements. No finalizer delegates


to the respective close/destroy method w/o first checking if it's
already been closed/destroyed; if it hasn't a, SEVERE error is
logged first. (noble, hossman)

60. SOLR-1362: WordDelimiterFilter had inconsistent behavior when setting


the position increment of tokens following a token consisting of all
delimiters, and could additionally lose big position increments.

was not a bug in any released version. (Peter Wolanin, gsingers)

65. SOLR-1071: spellcheck.extendedResults returns an invalid JSON response


when count > 1. To fix, the extendedResults format was changed.
(Uri Boness, yonik)

not term offsets during Highlighting (Thorsten Fischer, gsingers)

67. SOLR-1427: Fixed registry.jsp issue with MBeans (gsingers)

68. SOLR-1468: SolrJ's XML response parsing threw an exception for null
names, such as those produced when facet.missing=true (yonik)

69. SOLR-1471: Fixed issue with calculating missing values for facets in single
valued cases in Stats Component.
This is not correctly calculated for the multivalued case. (James Miller,
gsingers)

70. SOLR-1481: Fixed omitHeader parameter for PHP ResponseWriter. (Jun Ohtani via
billa)

71. SOLR-1448: Add weblogic.xml to solr webapp to enable correct operation in


WebLogic. (Ilan Rabinovitch via yonik)

72. SOLR-1504: empty char mapping can cause ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in


analysis.jsp and co.
(koji)

73. SOLR-1394: HTMLStripCharFilter split tokens that contained entities and


often calculated offsets incorrectly for entities.
(Anders Melchiorsen via yonik)

74. SOLR-1517: Admin pages could stall waiting for localhost name resolution
if reverse DNS wasn't configured; this was changed so the DNS resolution
is attempted only once the first time an admin page is loaded.
(hossman)

75. SOLR-1529: More than 8 deleteByQuery commands in a single request


caused an error to be returned, although the deletes were
still executed. (asmodean via yonik)

76. SOLR-800: Deep copy collections to avoid ConcurrentModificationException


in XPathEntityprocessor while streaming
(Kyle Morrison, Noble Paul via shalin)

DataImportHandler transformers (Wojtek Piaseczny, Noble Paul, shalin)

80. SOLR-832: Rows parameter is not honored in DIH non-debug mode and can
abort a running import in debug mode. (Akshay Ukey, shalin)

81. SOLR-838: The DIH VariableResolver obtained from a DataSource's context


does not have current data. (Noble Paul via shalin)

82. SOLR-864: DataImportHandler does not catch and log Errors (shalin)

handlers.
(ehatcher)

41. SOLR-1257: logging.jsp has been removed and now passes through to the

45. SOLR-1276: Added StatsComponentTest (Rafał Kuć, gsingers)

46. SOLR-1377: The TokenizerFactory API has changed to explicitly return a


Tokenizer
rather then a TokenStream (that may be or may not be a Tokenizer). This change
is required to take advantage of the Token reuse improvements in lucene 2.9.
(ryan)

47. SOLR-1410: Log a warning if the deprecated charset option is used


on GreekLowerCaseFilterFactory, RussianStemFilterFactory,
RussianLowerCaseFilterFactory or RussianLetterTokenizerFactory.
(Robert Muir via hossman)

48. SOLR-1423: Due to LUCENE-1906, Solr's tokenizer should use


Tokenizer.correctOffset() instead of CharStream.correctOffset().
(Uwe Schindler via koji)

49. SOLR-1319, SOLR-1345: Upgrade Solr Highlighter classes to new Lucene


Highlighter API. This upgrade has
resulted in a back compat break in the DefaultSolrHighlighter class -
getQueryScorer is no longer
protected. If you happened to be overriding that method in custom code, overide
getHighlighter instead.
Also, HighlightingUtils#getQueryScorer has been removed as it was deprecated
and backcompat has been
broken with it anyway. (Mark Miller)

50. SOLR-1357 SolrInputDocument cannot process dynamic fields (Lars Grote via
noble)

51. SOLR-1075: Upgrade to Tika 0.3. See


http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/tika/CHANGES-0.3.txt (gsingers)

52. SOLR-1310: Upgrade to Tika 0.4. Note there are some differences in
detecting Languages now in extracting request handler.
See
http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/d6f1899a85b2a45c/vote_apache_tika_0
_4_release_candidate_2#d6f1899a85b2a45c
for discussion on language detection.
See http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/tika/CHANGES-0.4.txt. (gsingers)

53. SOLR-782: DIH: Refactored SolrWriter to make it a concrete class and


removed wrappers over SolrInputDocument. Refactored to load Evaluators
lazily. Removed multiple document nodes in the configuration xml. Removed
support for 'default' variables, they are automatically available as
request parameters. (Noble Paul via shalin)

54. SOLR-964: DIH: XPathEntityProcessor now ignores DTD validations


(Fergus McMenemie, Noble Paul via shalin)

55. SOLR-1029: DIH: Standardize Evaluator parameter parsing and added helper
functions for parsing all evaluator parameters in a standard way.
(Noble Paul, shalin)

and data-config.xml root node is not <dataConfig>.
(Noble Paul via shalin)

59. SOLR-1087: Deprecate 'where' attribute in CachedSqlEntityProcessor in


favor of cacheKey and cacheLookup. (Noble Paul via shalin)

60. SOLR-969: Change the FULL_DUMP, DELTA_DUMP, FIND_DELTA constants in DIH


Context to String. Change Context.currentProcess() to return a string
instead of an integer. (Kay Kay, Noble Paul, shalin)

61. SOLR-1120: Simplified DIH EntityProcessor API by moving logic for applying
transformers and handling multi-row outputs from Transformers into an
EntityProcessorWrapper class. The behavior of the method
EntityProcessor#destroy has been modified to be called once per parent-row
at the end of row. A new method EntityProcessor#close is added which is
called at the end of import. A new method
Context#getResolvedEntityAttribute is added which returns the resolved
value of an entity's attribute. Introduced a DocWrapper which takes care
of maintaining document level session variables.
(Noble Paul, shalin)

62. SOLR-1265: Add DIH variable resolving for URLDataSource properties like
baseUrl. (Chris Eldredge via ehatcher)

63. SOLR-1269: Better error messages from DIH JdbcDataSource when JDBC Driver

instructions.

================== Release 1.3.0 ==================

Upgrading from Solr 1.2


-----------------------
IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTE: In a master/slave configuration, all searchers/slaves
should be upgraded before the master! If the master were to be updated
first, the older searchers would not be able to read the new index format.

The Porter snowball based stemmers in Lucene were updated (LUCENE-1142),


and are not guaranteed to be backward compatible at the index level
(the stem of certain words may have changed). Re-indexing is recommended.

Older Apache Solr installations can be upgraded by replacing


the relevant war file with the new version. No changes to configuration
files should be needed.

This version of Solr contains a new version of Lucene implementing


an updated index format. This version of Solr/Lucene can still read
and update indexes in the older formats, and will convert them to the new
format on the first index change. Be sure to backup your index before
upgrading in case you need to downgrade.

Solr now recognizes HTTP Request headers related to HTTP Caching (see
RFC 2616 sec13) and will by default respond with "304 Not Modified"
when appropriate. This should only affect users who access Solr via
an HTTP Cache, or via a Web-browser that has an internal cache, but if
you wish to suppress this behavior an '<httpCaching never304="true"/>'
option can be added to your solrconfig.xml. See the wiki (or the
example solrconfig.xml) for more details...
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml#HTTPCaching

In Solr 1.2, DateField did not enforce the canonical representation of


the ISO 8601 format when parsing incoming data, and did not generation
the canonical format when generating dates from "Date Math" strings
(particularly as it pertains to milliseconds ending in trailing zeros).
As a result equivalent dates could not always be compared properly.
This problem is corrected in Solr 1.3, but DateField users that might
have been affected by indexing inconsistent formats of equivalent
dates (ie: 1995-12-31T23:59:59Z vs 1995-12-31T23:59:59.000Z) may want
to consider reindexing to correct these inconsistencies. Users who
depend on some of the the "broken" behavior of DateField in Solr 1.2
(specificly: accepting any input that ends in a 'Z') should consider
using the LegacyDateField class as a possible alternative. Users that
desire 100% backwards compatibility should consider using the Solr 1.2
version of DateField.

Due to some changes in the lifecycle of TokenFilterFactories, users of


Solr 1.2 who have written Java code which constructs new instances of
StopFilterFactory, SynonymFilterFactory, or EnglishProterFilterFactory
will need to modify their code by adding a line like the following
prior to using the factory object...
factory.inform(SolrCore.getSolrCore().getSolrConfig().getResourceLoader());
These lifecycle changes do not affect people who use Solr "out of the
box" or who have developed their own TokenFilterFactory plugins. More
info can be found in SOLR-594.
The python client that used to ship with Solr is no longer included in
the distribution (see client/python/README.txt).

Detailed Change List


--------------------

New Features
1. SOLR-69: Adding MoreLikeThisHandler to search for similar documents using
lucene contrib/queries MoreLikeThis. MoreLikeThis is also available from
the StandardRequestHandler using ?mlt=true. (bdelacretaz, ryan)

2. SOLR-253: Adding KeepWordFilter and KeepWordFilterFactory. A TokenFilter


that keeps tokens with text in the registered keeplist. This behaves like
the inverse of StopFilter. (ryan)

3. SOLR-257: WordDelimiterFilter has a new parameter splitOnCaseChange,


which can be set to 0 to disable splitting "PowerShot" => "Power" "Shot".
(klaas)

4. SOLR-193: Adding SolrDocument and SolrInputDocument to represent documents


outside of the lucene Document infrastructure. This class will be used
by clients and for processing documents. (ryan)

5. SOLR-244: Added ModifiableSolrParams - a SolrParams implementation that


help you change values after initialization. (ryan)

6. SOLR-20: Added a java client interface with two implementations. One


implementation uses commons httpclient to connect to solr via HTTP. The
other connects to solr directly. Check client/java/solrj. This addition
also includes tests that start jetty and test a connection using the full
HTTP request cycle. (Darren Erik Vengroff, Will Johnson, ryan)

7. SOLR-133: Added StaxUpdateRequestHandler that uses StAX for XML parsing.


This implementation has much better error checking and lets you configure
a custom UpdateRequestProcessor that can selectively process update
requests depending on the request attributes. This class will likely
replace XmlUpdateRequestHandler. (Thorsten Scherler, ryan)

8. SOLR-264: Added RandomSortField, a utility field with a random sort order.


The seed is based on a hash of the field name, so a dynamic field
of this type is useful for generating different random sequences.
This field type should only be used for sorting or as a value source
in a FunctionQuery (ryan, hossman, yonik)

9. SOLR-266: Adding show=schema to LukeRequestHandler to show the parsed


schema fields and field types. (ryan)

10. SOLR-133: The UpdateRequestHandler now accepts multiple delete options


within a single request. For example, sending:
<delete><id>1</id><id>2</id></delete> will delete both 1 and 2. (ryan)

11. SOLR-269: Added UpdateRequestProcessor plugin framework. This provides


a reasonable place to process documents after they are parsed and
before they are committed to the index. This is a good place for custom
document manipulation or document based authorization. (yonik, ryan)

12. SOLR-260: Converting to a standard PluginLoader framework. This reworks


RequestHandlers, FieldTypes, and QueryResponseWriters to share the same
base code for loading and initializing plugins. This adds a new
configuration option to define the default RequestHandler and
QueryResponseWriter in XML using default="true". (ryan)

13. SOLR-225: Enable pluggable highlighting classes. Allow configurable


highlighting formatters and Fragmenters. (ryan)

14. SOLR-273/376/452/516: Added hl.maxAnalyzedChars highlighting parameter,


defaulting
to 50k, hl.alternateField, which allows the specification of a backup
field to use as summary if no keywords are matched, and hl.mergeContiguous,
which combines fragments if they are adjacent in the source document.
(klaas, Grant Ingersoll, Koji Sekiguchi via klaas)

15. SOLR-291: Control maximum number of documents to cache for any entry
in the queryResultCache via queryResultMaxDocsCached solrconfig.xml
entry. (Koji Sekiguchi via yonik)

16. SOLR-240: New <lockType> configuration setting in <mainIndex> and


<indexDefaults> blocks supports all Lucene builtin LockFactories.
'single' is recommended setting, but 'simple' is default for total
backwards compatibility.
(Will Johnson via hossman)

17. SOLR-248: Added CapitalizationFilterFactory that creates tokens with


normalized capitalization. This filter is useful for facet display,
but will not work with a prefix query. (ryan)
SOLR-468: Change to the semantics to keep the original token, not the
token in the Map. Also switched to use Lucene's new reusable token
capabilities. (gsingers)

18. SOLR-307: Added NGramFilterFactory and EdgeNGramFilterFactory.


(Thomas Peuss via Otis Gospodnetic)

19. SOLR-305: analysis.jsp can be given a fieldtype instead of a field


name. (hossman)

20. SOLR-102: Added RegexFragmenter, which splits text for highlighting


based on a given pattern. (klaas)

21. SOLR-258: Date Faceting added to SimpleFacets. Facet counts


computed for ranges of size facet.date.gap (a DateMath expression)
between facet.date.start and facet.date.end. (hossman)

22. SOLR-196: A PHP serialized "phps" response writer that returns a


serialized array that can be used with the PHP function unserialize,
and a PHP response writer "php" that may be used by eval.
(Nick Jenkin, Paul Borgermans, Pieter Berkel via yonik)

23. SOLR-308: A new UUIDField class which accepts UUID string values,
as well as the special value of "NEW" which triggers generation of
a new random UUID.
(Thomas Peuss via hossman)

24. SOLR-349: New FunctionQuery functions: sum, product, div, pow, log,
sqrt, abs, scale, map. Constants may now be used as a value source.
(yonik)

25. SOLR-359: Add field type className to Luke response, and enabled access
to the detailed field information from the solrj client API.
(Grant Ingersoll via ehatcher)

26. SOLR-334: Pluggable query parsers. Allows specification of query


type and arguments as a prefix on a query string. (yonik)

27. SOLR-351: External Value Source. An external file may be used


to specify the values of a field, currently usable as
a ValueSource in a FunctionQuery. (yonik)

28. SOLR-395: Many new features for the spell checker implementation, including
an extended response mode with much richer output, multi-word spell checking,
and a bevy of new and renamed options (see the wiki).
(Mike Krimerman, Scott Taber via klaas).

29. SOLR-408: Added PingRequestHandler and deprecated


SolrCore.getPingQueryRequest().
Ping requests should be configured using standard RequestHandler syntax in
solrconfig.xml rather then using the <pingQuery></pingQuery> syntax.
(Karsten Sperling via ryan)

30. SOLR-281: Added a 'Search Component' interface and converted


StandardRequestHandler
and DisMaxRequestHandler to use this framework.
(Sharad Agarwal, Henri Biestro, yonik, ryan)

31. SOLR-176: Add detailed timing data to query response output. The SearchHandler
interface now returns how long each section takes. (klaas)

32. SOLR-414: Plugin initialization now supports SolrCore and ResourceLoader


"Aware"
plugins. Plugins that implement SolrCoreAware or ResourceLoaderAware are
informed about the SolrCore/ResourceLoader. (Henri Biestro, ryan)

33. SOLR-350: Support multiple SolrCores running in the same solr instance and
allows
runtime runtime management for any running SolrCore. If a solr.xml file exists
in solr.home, this file is used to instanciate multiple cores and enables
runtime
core manipulation. For more informaion see:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin
(Henri Biestro, ryan)

34. SOLR-447: Added an single request handler that will automatically register all
standard admin request handlers. This replaces the need to register (and
maintain)
the set of admin request handlers. Assuming solrconfig.xml includes:
<requestHandler name="/admin/"
class="org.apache.solr.handler.admin.AdminHandlers" />
This will register:
Luke/SystemInfo/PluginInfo/ThreadDump/PropertiesRequestHandler.
(ryan)

35. SOLR-142: Added RawResponseWriter and ShowFileRequestHandler. This returns


config
files directly. If AdminHandlers are configured, this will be added
automatically.
The jsp files /admin/get-file.jsp and /admin/raw-schema.jsp have been
deprecated.
The deprecated <admin><gettableFiles> will be automatically registered with
a ShowFileRequestHandler instance for backwards compatibility. (ryan)

36. SOLR-446: TextResponseWriter can write SolrDocuments and SolrDocumentLists the


same way it writes Document and DocList. (yonik, ryan)

37. SOLR-418: Adding a query elevation component. This is an optional component to


elevate some documents to the top positions (or exclude them) for a given
query.
(ryan)

38. SOLR-478: Added ability to get back unique key information from the
LukeRequestHandler.
(gsingers)

39. SOLR-127: HTTP Caching awareness. Solr now recognizes HTTP Request
headers related to HTTP Caching (see RFC 2616 sec13) and will respond
with "304 Not Modified" when appropriate. New options have been added
to solrconfig.xml to influence this behavior.
(Thomas Peuss via hossman)

40. SOLR-303: Distributed Search over HTTP. Specification of shards


argument causes Solr to query those shards and merge the results
into a single response. Querying, field faceting (sorted only),
query faceting, highlighting, and debug information are supported
in distributed mode.
(Sharad Agarwal, Patrick O'Leary, Sabyasachi Dalal, Stu Hood,
Jayson Minard, Lars Kotthoff, ryan, yonik)

41. SOLR-356: Pluggable functions (value sources) that allow


registration of new functions via solrconfig.xml
(Doug Daniels via yonik)

42. SOLR-494: Added cool admin Ajaxed schema explorer.


(Greg Ludington via ehatcher)

43. SOLR-497: Added date faceting to the QueryResponse in SolrJ


and QueryResponseTest (Shalin Shekhar Mangar via gsingers)

44. SOLR-486: Binary response format, faster and smaller


than XML and JSON response formats (use wt=javabin).
BinaryResponseParser for utilizing the binary format via SolrJ
and is now the default.
(Noble Paul, yonik)

45. SOLR-521: StopFilterFactory support for "enablePositionIncrements"


(Walter Ferrara via hossman)

46. SOLR-557: Added SolrCore.getSearchComponents() to return an unmodifiable Map.


(gsingers)

47. SOLR-516: Added hl.maxAlternateFieldLength parameter, to set max length for


hl.alternateField
(Koji Sekiguchi via klaas)

48. SOLR-319: Changed SynonymFilterFactory to "tokenize" synonyms file.


To use a tokenizer, specify "tokenizerFactory" attribute in <filter>.
For example:
<tokenizer class="solr.CJKTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" expand="true"
ignoreCase="true" tokenizerFactory="solr.CJKTokenizerFactory"/>
(koji)

49. SOLR-515: Added SimilarityFactory capability to schema.xml,


making config file parameters usable in the construction of
the global Lucene Similarity implementation.
(ehatcher)

50. SOLR-536: Add a DocumentObjectBinder to solrj that converts Objects to and


from SolrDocuments. (Noble Paul via ryan)

51. SOLR-595: Add support for Field level boosting in the MoreLikeThis Handler.
(Tom Morton, gsingers)

52. SOLR-572: Added SpellCheckComponent and org.apache.solr.spelling package to


support more spell
checking functionality. Also includes ability to add your own SolrSpellChecker
implementation that
plugs in. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpellCheckComponent for more details
(Shalin Shekhar Mangar, Bojan Smid, gsingers)

53. SOLR-679: Added accessor methods to Lucene based spell checkers (gsingers)

(shalin)

65. SOLR-663: Allow multiple files for stopwords, keepwords, protwords and synonyms
(Otis Gospodnetic, shalin)

66. SOLR-469: Added DataImportHandler as a contrib project which makes indexing


data from Databases,
XML files and HTTP data sources into Solr quick and easy. Includes API and
implementations for
supporting multiple data sources, processors and transformers for importing
data. Supports full
data imports as well as incremental (delta) indexing. See
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler
for more details. (Noble Paul, shalin)

67. SOLR-622: SpellCheckComponent supports auto-loading indices on startup and


optionally, (re)builds
indices on newSearcher event, if configured in solrconfig.xml (shalin)

68. SOLR-554: Hierarchical JDK log level selector for SOLR Admin replaces
logging.jsp
(Sean Timm via shalin)

69. SOLR-506: Emitting HTTP Cache headers can be enabled or disabled through
configuration on a
per-handler basis (shalin)

70. SOLR-716: Added support for properties in configuration files. Properties can
be specified in
solr.xml and can be used in solrconfig.xml and schema.xml (Henri Biestro,
hossman, ryan, shalin)

71. SOLR-1129 : Support binding dynamic fields to beans in SolrJ (Avlesh Singh ,
noble)

72. SOLR-920 : Cache and reuse IndexSchema . A new attribute added in solr.xml
called 'shareSchema' (noble)

73. SOLR-700: DIH: Allow configurable locales through a locale attribute in


fields for NumberFormatTransformer. (Stefan Oestreicher, shalin)

Changes in runtime behavior


1. SOLR-559: use Lucene updateDocument, deleteDocuments methods. This
removes the maxBufferedDeletes parameter added by SOLR-310 as Lucene
now manages the deletes. This provides slightly better indexing
performance and makes overwrites atomic, eliminating the possibility of
a crash causing duplicates. (yonik)

2. SOLR-689 / SOLR-695: If you have used "MultiCore" functionality in an


unreleased
version of 1.3-dev, many classes and configs have been renamed for the official
1.3 release. Speciffically, solr.xml has replaced multicore.xml, and uses a
slightly
different syntax. The solrj classes: MultiCore{Request/Response/Params} have
been
renamed: CoreAdmin{Request/Response/Params} (hossman, ryan, Henri Biestro)

3. SOLR-647: reference count the SolrCore uses to prevent a premature


close while a core is still in use. (Henri Biestro, Noble Paul, yonik)

4. SOLR-737: SolrQueryParser now uses a ConstantScoreQuery for wildcard


queries that prevent an exception from being thrown when the number
of matching terms exceeds the BooleanQuery clause limit. (yonik)

Optimizations
1. SOLR-276: improve JSON writer speed. (yonik)
2. SOLR-310: bound and reduce memory usage by providing <maxBufferedDeletes>
parameter,
which flushes deleted without forcing the user to use <commit/> for this
purpose.
(klaas)

3. SOLR-348: short-circuit faceting if less than mincount docs match. (yonik)

4. SOLR-354: Optimize removing all documents. Now when a delete by query


of *:* is issued, the current index is removed. (yonik)

5. SOLR-377: Speed up response writers. (yonik)

6. SOLR-342: Added support into the SolrIndexWriter for using several new
features of the new
LuceneIndexWriter, including: setRAMBufferSizeMB(), setMergePolicy(),
setMergeScheduler.
Also, added support to specify Lucene's autoCommit functionality (not to be
confused with Solr's
similarily named autoCommit functionality) via the <luceneAutoCommit> config.
item. See the test
and example solrconfig.xml <indexDefaults> section for usage. Performance
during indexing should
be significantly increased by moving up to 2.3 due to Lucene's new indexing
capabilities.
Furthermore, the setRAMBufferSizeMB makes it more logical to decide on tuning
factors related to
indexing. For best performance, leave the mergePolicy and mergeScheduler as
the defaults and set
ramBufferSizeMB instead of maxBufferedDocs. The best value for this depends on
the types of
documents in use. 32 should be a good starting point, but reports have shown
up to 48 MB provides
good results. Note, it is acceptable to set both ramBufferSizeMB and
maxBufferedDocs, and Lucene
will flush based on whichever limit is reached first. (gsingers)

7. SOLR-330: Converted TokenStreams to use Lucene's new char array based


capabilities. (gsingers)

8. SOLR-624: Only take snapshots if there are differences to the index (Richard
Trey Hyde via gsingers)

9. SOLR-587: Delete by Query performance greatly improved by using


new underlying Lucene IndexWriter implementation. (yonik)

10. SOLR-730: Use read-only IndexReaders that don't synchronize


isDeleted(). This will speed up function queries and *:* queries
as well as improve their scalability on multi-CPU systems.
(Mark Miller via yonik)

Bug Fixes
1. Make TextField respect sortMissingFirst and sortMissingLast fields.
(J.J. Larrea via yonik)

2. autoCommit/maxDocs was not working properly when large autoCommit/maxTime


was specified (klaas)

scripts to handle both old and new response format. (bill)

9. SOLR-294: Logging of elapsed time broken on Solaris because the date command
there does not support the %s output format. (bill)

10. SOLR-136: Snappuller - "date -d" and locales don't mix. (Jürgen Hermann via
bill)

11. SOLR-333: Changed distributiondump.jsp to use Solr HOME instead of CWD to set
path.

12. SOLR-393: Removed duplicate contentType from raw-schema.jsp. (bill)

13. SOLR-413: Requesting a large numbers of documents to be returned (limit)


can result in an out-of-memory exception, even for a small index. (yonik)

14. The CSV loader incorrectly threw an exception when given


header=true (the default). (ryan, yonik)

15. SOLR-449: the python and ruby response writers are now able to correctly
output NaN and Infinity in their respective languages. (klaas)

16. SOLR-42: HTMLStripReader tokenizers now preserve correct source


offsets for highlighting. (Grant Ingersoll via yonik)

17. SOLR-481: Handle UnknownHostException in _info.jsp (gsingers)

indexed. (Lars Kotthoff via hossman)

24. SOLR-533: Fixed tests so they don't use hardcoded port numbers.
(hossman)

25. SOLR-400: SolrExceptionTest should now handle using OpenDNS as a DNS provider

mechanism to add log
messages to be output by the SolrCore via a NamedList toLog member variable.
(Will Johnson, yseeley, gsingers)

- SOLR-267: Removed adding values to the HTTP headers in SolrDispatchFilter


(gsingers)

formating using the canonical representation. LegacyDateField has
been added for people who have come to depend on the existing
broken behavior. (hossman, Stefan Oestreicher)

30. SOLR-539: Fix for non-atomic long counters and a cast fix to avoid divide
by zero. (Sean Timm via Otis Gospodnetic)

34. SOLR-590: Limitation in pgrep on Linux platform breaks script-utils fixUser.


(Hannes Schmidt via billa)

35. SOLR-597: SolrServlet no longer "caches" SolrCore. This was causing

and allow switching of the exact POST mechanism for parameters
via useMultiPartPost in CommonsHttpSolrServer.
(Lars Kotthoff, Andrew Schurman, ryan, yonik)

40. SOLR-556: multi-valued fields always highlighted in disparate snippets


(Lars Kotthoff via klaas)

javadocs.
(Spencer Crissman, Craig McClanahan, shalin)

================== Release 1.2 ==================

Upgrading from Solr 1.1


-------------------------------------
IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTE: In a master/slave configuration, all searchers/slaves
should be upgraded before the master! If the master were to be updated
first, the older searchers would not be able to read the new index format.
Older Apache Solr installations can be upgraded by replacing
the relevant war file with the new version. No changes to configuration
files should be needed.

This version of Solr contains a new version of Lucene implementing


an updated index format. This version of Solr/Lucene can still read
and update indexes in the older formats, and will convert them to the new
format on the first index change. One change in the new index format
is that all "norms" are kept in a single file, greatly reducing the number
of files per segment. Users of compound file indexes will want to consider
converting to the non-compound format for faster indexing and slightly better
search concurrency.

The JSON response format for facets has changed to make it easier for
clients to retain sorted order. Use json.nl=map explicitly in clients
to get the old behavior, or add it as a default to the request handler
in solrconfig.xml

The Lucene based Solr query syntax is slightly more strict.


A ':' in a field value must be escaped or the whole value must be quoted.

The Solr "Request Handler" framework has been updated in two key ways:
First, if a Request Handler is registered in solrconfig.xml with a name
starting with "/" then it can be accessed using path-based URL, instead of
using the legacy "/select?qt=name" URL structure. Second, the Request
Handler framework has been extended making it possible to write Request
Handlers that process streams of data for doing updates, and there is a
new-style Request Handler for XML updates given the name of "/update" in
the example solrconfig.xml. Existing installations without this "/update"
handler will continue to use the old update servlet and should see no
changes in behavior. For new-style update handlers, errors are now
reflected in the HTTP status code, Content-type checking is more strict,
and the response format has changed and is controllable via the wt
parameter.

Detailed Change List


--------------------

New Features
1. SOLR-82: Default field values can be specified in the schema.xml.
(Ryan McKinley via hossman)

2. SOLR-89: Two new TokenFilters with corresponding Factories...


* TrimFilter - Trims leading and trailing whitespace from Tokens
* PatternReplaceFilter - applies a Pattern to each token in the
stream, replacing match occurances with a specified replacement.
(hossman)

3. SOLR-91: allow configuration of a limit of the number of searchers


that can be warming in the background. This can be used to avoid
out-of-memory errors, or contention caused by more and more searchers
warming in the background. An error is thrown if the limit specified
by maxWarmingSearchers in solrconfig.xml is exceeded. (yonik)

4. SOLR-106: New faceting parameters that allow specification of a


minimum count for returned facets (facet.mincount), paging through facets
(facet.offset, facet.limit), and explicit sorting (facet.sort).
facet.zeros is now deprecated. (yonik)

5. SOLR-80: Negative queries are now allowed everywhere. Negative queries


are generated and cached as their positive counterpart, speeding
generation and generally resulting in smaller sets to cache.
Set intersections in SolrIndexSearcher are more efficient,
starting with the smallest positive set, subtracting all negative
sets, then intersecting with all other positive sets. (yonik)

6. SOLR-117: Limit a field faceting to constraints with a prefix specified


by facet.prefix or f.<field>.facet.prefix. (yonik)

7. SOLR-107: JAVA API: Change NamedList to use Java5 generics


and implement Iterable<Map.Entry> (Ryan McKinley via yonik)

8. SOLR-104: Support for "Update Plugins" -- RequestHandlers that want


access to streams of data for doing updates. ContentStreams can come
from the raw POST body, multi-part form data, or remote URLs.
Included in this change is a new SolrDispatchFilter that allows
RequestHandlers registered with names that begin with a "/" to be
accessed using a URL structure based on that name.
(Ryan McKinley via hossman)

9. SOLR-126: DirectUpdateHandler2 supports autocommitting after a specified time


(in ms), using <autoCommit><maxTime>10000</maxTime></autoCommit>.
(Ryan McKinley via klaas).

10. SOLR-116: IndexInfoRequestHandler added. (Erik Hatcher)

11. SOLR-79: Add system property ${<sys.prop>[:<default>]} substitution for


configuration files loaded, including schema.xml and solrconfig.xml.
(Erik Hatcher with inspiration from Andrew Saar)

12. SOLR-149: Changes to make Solr more easily embeddable, in addition


to logging which request handler handled each request.
(Ryan McKinley via yonik)

13. SOLR-86: Added standalone Java-based command-line updater.


(Erik Hatcher via Bertrand Delecretaz)

14. SOLR-152: DisMaxRequestHandler now supports configurable alternate


behavior when q is not specified. A "q.alt" param can be specified
using SolrQueryParser syntax as a mechanism for specifying what query
the dismax handler should execute if the main user query (q) is blank.
(Ryan McKinley via hossman)

15. SOLR-158: new "qs" (Query Slop) param for DisMaxRequestHandler


allows for specifying the amount of default slop to use when parsing
explicit phrase queries from the user.
(Adam Hiatt via hossman)

16. SOLR-81: SpellCheckerRequestHandler that uses the SpellChecker from


the Lucene contrib.
(Otis Gospodnetic and Adam Hiatt)

17. SOLR-182: allow lazy loading of request handlers on first request.


(Ryan McKinley via yonik)
18. SOLR-81: More SpellCheckerRequestHandler enhancements, inlcluding
support for relative or absolute directory path configurations, as
well as RAM based directory. (hossman)

19. SOLR-197: New parameters for input: stream.contentType for specifying


or overriding the content type of input, and stream.file for reading
local files. (Ryan McKinley via yonik)

20. SOLR-66: CSV data format for document additions and updates. (yonik)

21. SOLR-184: add echoHandler=true to responseHeader, support echoParams=all


(Ryan McKinley via ehatcher)

22. SOLR-211: Added a regex PatternTokenizerFactory. This extracts tokens


from the input string using a regex Pattern. (Ryan McKinley)

23. SOLR-162: Added a "Luke" request handler and other admin helpers.
This exposes the system status through the standard requestHandler
framework. (ryan)

24. SOLR-212: Added a DirectSolrConnection class. This lets you access


solr using the standard request/response formats, but does not require
an HTTP connection. It is designed for embedded applications. (ryan)

25. SOLR-204: The request dispatcher (added in SOLR-104) can handle


calls to /select. This offers uniform error handling for /update and
/select. To enable this behavior, you must add:
<requestDispatcher handleSelect="true" > to your solrconfig.xml
See the example solrconfig.xml for details. (ryan)

26. SOLR-170: StandardRequestHandler now supports a "sort" parameter.


Using the ';' syntax is still supported, but it is recommended to
transition to the new syntax. (ryan)

27. SOLR-181: The index schema now supports "required" fields. Attempts
to add a document without a required field will fail, returning a
descriptive error message. By default, the uniqueKey field is
a required field. This can be disabled by setting required=false
in schema.xml. (Greg Ludington via ryan)

28. SOLR-217: Fields configured in the schema to be neither indexed or


stored will now be quietly ignored by Solr when Documents are added.
The example schema has a comment explaining how this can be used to
ignore any "unknown" fields.
(Will Johnson via hossman)

29. SOLR-227: If schema.xml defines multiple fieldTypes, fields, or


dynamicFields with the same name, a severe error will be logged rather
then quietly continuing. Depending on the <abortOnConfigurationError>
settings, this may halt the server. Likewise, if solrconfig.xml
defines multiple RequestHandlers with the same name it will also add
an error. (ryan)

30. SOLR-226: Added support for dynamic field as the destination of a


copyField using glob (*) replacement. (ryan)

31. SOLR-224: Adding a PhoneticFilterFactory that uses apache commons codec


language encoders to build phonetically similar tokens. This currently
supports: DoubleMetaphone, Metaphone, Soundex, and RefinedSoundex (ryan)
32. SOLR-199: new n-gram tokenizers available via NGramTokenizerFactory
and EdgeNGramTokenizerFactory. (Adam Hiatt via yonik)

33. SOLR-234: TrimFilter can update the Token's startOffset and endOffset
if updateOffsets="true". By default the Token offsets are unchanged.
(ryan)

34. SOLR-208: new example_rss.xsl and example_atom.xsl to provide more


examples for people about the Solr XML response format and how they
can transform it to suit different needs.
(Brian Whitman via hossman)

35. SOLR-249: Deprecated SolrException( int, ... ) constructors in favor


of constructors that takes an ErrorCode enum. This will ensure that
all SolrExceptions use a valid HTTP status code. (ryan)

36. SOLR-386: Abstracted SolrHighlighter and moved existing implementation


to DefaultSolrHighlighter. Adjusted SolrCore and solrconfig.xml so
that highlighter is configurable via a class attribute. Allows users
to use their own highlighter implementation. (Tricia Williams via klaas)

Changes in runtime behavior


1. Highlighting using DisMax will only pick up terms from the main
user query, not boost or filter queries (klaas).

2. SOLR-125: Change default of json.nl to flat, change so that


json.nl only affects items where order matters (facet constraint
listings). Fix JSON output bug for null values. Internal JAVA API:
change most uses of NamedList to SimpleOrderedMap. (yonik)

3. A new method "getSolrQueryParser" has been added to the IndexSchema


class for retrieving a new SolrQueryParser instance with all options
specified in the schema.xml's <solrQueryParser> block set. The
documentation for the SolrQueryParser constructor and its use of
IndexSchema have also been clarified.
(Erik Hatcher and hossman)

4. DisMaxRequestHandler's bq, bf, qf, and pf parameters can now accept


multiple values (klaas).

5. Query are re-written before highlighting is performed. This enables


proper highlighting of prefix and wildcard queries (klaas).

6. A meaningful exception is raised when attempting to add a doc missing


a unique id if it is declared in the schema and allowDups=false.
(ryan via klaas)

7. SOLR-183: Exceptions with error code 400 are raised when


numeric argument parsing fails. RequiredSolrParams class added
to facilitate checking for parameters that must be present.
(Ryan McKinley, J.J. Larrea via yonik)

8. SOLR-179: By default, solr will abort after any severe initialization


errors. This behavior can be disabled by setting:
<abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError>
in solrconfig.xml (ryan)

9. The example solrconfig.xml maps /update to XmlUpdateRequestHandler using


the new request dispatcher (SOLR-104). This requires posted content to
have a valid contentType: curl -H 'Content-type:text/xml; charset=utf-8'
The response format matches that of /select and returns standard error
codes. To enable solr1.1 style /update, do not map "/update" to any
handler in solrconfig.xml (ryan)

10. SOLR-231: If a charset is not specified in the contentType,


ContentStream.getReader() will use UTF-8 encoding. (ryan)

11. SOLR-230: More options for post.jar to support stdin, xml on the
commandline, and defering commits. Tutorial modified to take
advantage of these options so there is no need for curl.
(hossman)

12. SOLR-128: Upgraded Jetty to the latest stable release 6.1.3 (ryan)

Optimizations
1. SOLR-114: HashDocSet specific implementations of union() and andNot()
for a 20x performance improvement for those set operations, and a new
hash algorithm speeds up exists() by 10% and intersectionSize() by 8%.
(yonik)

2. SOLR-115: Solr now uses BooleanQuery.clauses() instead of


BooleanQuery.getClauses() in any situation where there is no risk of
modifying the original query.
(hossman)

3. SOLR-221: Speed up sorted faceting on multivalued fields by ~60%


when the base set consists of a relatively large portion of the
index. (yonik)

4. SOLR-221: Added a facet.enum.cache.minDf parameter which avoids


using the filterCache for terms that match few documents, trading
decreased memory usage for increased query time. (yonik)

Bug Fixes
1. SOLR-87: Parsing of synonym files did not correctly handle escaped
whitespace such as \r\n\t\b\f. (yonik)

2. SOLR-92: DOMUtils.getText (used when parsing config files) did not


work properly with many DOM implementations when dealing with
"Attributes". (Ryan McKinley via hossman)

3. SOLR-9,SOLR-99: Tighten up sort specification error checking, throw


exceptions for missing sort specifications or a sort on a non-indexed
field. (Ryan McKinley via yonik)

4. SOLR-145: Fix for bug introduced in SOLR-104 where some Exceptions


were being ignored by all "out of the box" RequestHandlers. (hossman)

5. SOLR-166: JNDI solr.home code refactoring. SOLR-104 moved


some JNDI related code to the init method of a Servlet Filter -
according to the Servlet Spec, all Filter's should be initialized
prior to initializing any Servlets, but this is not the case in at
least one Servlet Container (Resin). This "bug fix" refactors
this JNDI code so that it should be executed the first time any
attempt is made to use the solr.home dir.
(Ryan McKinley via hossman)
6. SOLR-173: Bug fix to SolrDispatchFilter to reduce "too many open
files" problem was that SolrDispatchFilter was not closing requests
when finished. Also modified ResponseWriters to only fetch a Searcher
reference if necessary for writing out DocLists.
(Ryan McKinley via hossman)

7. SOLR-168: Fix display positioning of multiple tokens at the same


position in analysis.jsp (yonik)

8. SOLR-167: The SynonymFilter sometimes generated incorrect offsets when


multi token synonyms were mached in the source text. (yonik)

9. SOLR-188: bin scripts do not support non-default webapp names. Added "-U"
option to specify a full path to the update url, overriding the
"-h" (hostname), "-p" (port) and "-w" (webapp name) parameters.
(Jeff Rodenburg via billa)

10. SOLR-198: RunExecutableListener always waited for the process to


finish, even when wait="false" was set. (Koji Sekiguchi via yonik)

11. SOLR-207: Changed distribution scripts to remove recursive find


and avoid use of "find -maxdepth" on platforms where it is not
supported. (yonik)

12. SOLR-222: Changing writeLockTimeout in solrconfig.xml did not


change the effective timeout. (Koji Sekiguchi via yonik)

13. Changed the SOLR-104 RequestDispatcher so that /select?qt=xxx can not


access handlers that start with "/". This makes path based authentication
possible for path based request handlers. (ryan)

14. SOLR-214: Some servlet containers (including Tomcat and Resin) do not
obey the specified charset. Rather then letting the the container handle
it solr now uses the charset from the header contentType to decode posted
content. Using the contentType: "text/xml; charset=utf-8" will force
utf-8 encoding. If you do not specify a contentType, it will use the
platform default. (Koji Sekiguchi via ryan)

15. SOLR-241: Undefined system properties used in configuration files now


cause a clear message to be logged rather than an obscure exception thrown.
(Koji Sekiguchi via ehatcher)

Other Changes
1. Updated to Lucene 2.1

2. Updated to Lucene 2007-05-20_00-04-53

================== Release 1.1.0 ==================

Status
------
This is the first release since Solr joined the Incubator, and brings many
new features and performance optimizations including highlighting,
faceted browsing, and JSON/Python/Ruby response formats.

Upgrading from previous Solr versions


-------------------------------------
Older Apache Solr installations can be upgraded by replacing
the relevant war file with the new version. No changes to configuration
files are needed and the index format has not changed.

The default version of the Solr XML response syntax has been changed to 2.2.
Behavior can be preserved for those clients not explicitly specifying a
version by adding a default to the request handler in solrconfig.xml

By default, Solr will no longer use a searcher that has not fully warmed,
and requests will block in the meantime. To change back to the previous
behavior of using a cold searcher in the event there is no other
warm searcher, see the useColdSearcher config item in solrconfig.xml

The XML response format when adding multiple documents to the collection
in a single <add> command has changed to return a single <result>.

Detailed Change List


--------------------

New Features
1. added support for setting Lucene's positionIncrementGap
2. Admin: new statistics for SolrIndexSearcher
3. Admin: caches now show config params on stats page
3. max() function added to FunctionQuery suite
4. postOptimize hook, mirroring the functionallity of the postCommit hook,
but only called on an index optimize.
5. Ability to HTTP POST query requests to /select in addition to HTTP-GET
6. The default search field may now be overridden by requests to the
standard request handler using the df query parameter. (Erik Hatcher)
7. Added DisMaxRequestHandler and SolrPluginUtils. (Chris Hostetter)
8. Support for customizing the QueryResponseWriter per request
(Mike Baranczak / SOLR-16 / hossman)
9. Added KeywordTokenizerFactory (hossman)
10. copyField accepts dynamicfield-like names as the source.
(Darren Erik Vengroff via yonik, SOLR-21)
11. new DocSet.andNot(), DocSet.andNotSize() (yonik)
12. Ability to store term vectors for fields. (Mike Klaas via yonik, SOLR-23)
13. New abstract BufferedTokenStream for people who want to write
Tokenizers or TokenFilters that require arbitrary buffering of the
stream. (SOLR-11 / yonik, hossman)
14. New RemoveDuplicatesToken - useful in situations where
synonyms, stemming, or word-deliminater-ing produce identical tokens at
the same position. (SOLR-11 / yonik, hossman)
15. Added highlighting to SolrPluginUtils and implemented in StandardRequestHandler
and DisMaxRequestHandler (SOLR-24 / Mike Klaas via hossman,yonik)
16. SnowballPorterFilterFactory language is configurable via the "language"
attribute, with the default being "English". (Bertrand Delacretaz via yonik,
SOLR-27)
17. ISOLatin1AccentFilterFactory, instantiates ISOLatin1AccentFilter to remove
accents.
(Bertrand Delacretaz via yonik, SOLR-28)
18. JSON, Python, Ruby QueryResponseWriters: use wt="json", "python" or "ruby"
(yonik, SOLR-31)
19. Make web admin pages return UTF-8, change Content-type declaration to include a
space between the mime-type and charset (Philip Jacob, SOLR-35)
20. Made query parser default operator configurable via schema.xml:
<solrQueryParser defaultOperator="AND|OR"/>
The default operator remains "OR".
21. JAVA API: new version of SolrIndexSearcher.getDocListAndSet() which takes
flags (Greg Ludington via yonik, SOLR-39)
22. A HyphenatedWordsFilter, a text analysis filter used during indexing to rejoin
words that were hyphenated and split by a newline. (Boris Vitez via yonik,
SOLR-41)
23. Added a CompressableField base class which allows fields of derived types to
be compressed using the compress=true setting. The field type also gains the
ability to specify a size threshold at which field data is compressed.
(klaas, SOLR-45)
24. Simple faceted search support for fields (enumerating terms)
and arbitrary queries added to both StandardRequestHandler and
DisMaxRequestHandler. (hossman, SOLR-44)
25. In addition to specifying default RequestHandler params in the
solrconfig.xml, support has been added for configuring values to be
appended to the multi-val request params, as well as for configuring
invariant params that can not overridden in the query. (hossman, SOLR-46)
26. Default operator for query parsing can now be specified with q.op=AND|OR
from the client request, overriding the schema value. (ehatcher)
27. New XSLTResponseWriter does server side XSLT processing of XML Response.
In the process, an init(NamedList) method was added to QueryResponseWriter
which works the same way as SolrRequestHandler.
(Bertrand Delacretaz / SOLR-49 / hossman)
28. json.wrf parameter adds a wrapper-function around the JSON response,
useful in AJAX with dynamic script tags for specifying a JavaScript
callback function. (Bertrand Delacretaz via yonik, SOLR-56)
29. autoCommit can be specified every so many documents added (klaas, SOLR-65)
30. ${solr.home}/lib directory can now be used for specifying "plugin" jars
(hossman, SOLR-68)
31. Support for "Date Math" relative "NOW" when specifying values of a
DateField in a query -- or when adding a document.
(hossman, SOLR-71)
32. useColdSearcher control in solrconfig.xml prevents the first searcher
from being used before it's done warming. This can help prevent
thrashing on startup when multiple requests hit a cold searcher.
The default is "false", preventing use before warm. (yonik, SOLR-77)

Changes in runtime behavior


1. classes reorganized into different packages, package names changed to Apache
2. force read of document stored fields in QuerySenderListener
3. Solr now looks in ./solr/conf for config, ./solr/data for data
configurable via solr.solr.home system property
4. Highlighter params changed to be prefixed with "hl."; allow fragmentsize
customization and per-field overrides on many options
(Andrew May via klaas, SOLR-37)
5. Default param values for DisMaxRequestHandler should now be specified
using a '<lst name="defaults">...</lst>' init param, for backwards
compatability all init prams will be used as defaults if an init param
with that name does not exist. (hossman, SOLR-43)
6. The DisMaxRequestHandler now supports multiple occurances of the "fq"
param. (hossman, SOLR-44)
7. FunctionQuery.explain now uses ComplexExplanation to provide more
accurate score explanations when composed in a BooleanQuery.
(hossman, SOLR-25)
8. Document update handling locking is much sparser, allowing performance gains
through multiple threads. Large commits also might be faster (klaas, SOLR-65)
9. Lazy field loading can be enabled via a solrconfig directive. This will be
faster when
not all stored fields are needed from a document (klaas, SOLR-52)
10. Made admin JSPs return XML and transform them with new XSL stylesheets
(Otis Gospodnetic, SOLR-58)
11. If the "echoParams=explicit" request parameter is set, request parameters are
copied
to the output. In an XML output, they appear in new <lst name="params"> list
inside
the new <lst name="responseHeader"> element, which replaces the old
<responseHeader>.
Adding a version=2.1 parameter to the request produces the old format, for
backwards
compatibility (bdelacretaz and yonik, SOLR-59).

Optimizations
1. getDocListAndSet can now generate both a DocList and a DocSet from a
single lucene query.
2. BitDocSet.intersectionSize(HashDocSet) no longer generates an intermediate
set
3. OpenBitSet completed, replaces BitSet as the implementation for BitDocSet.
Iteration is faster, and BitDocSet.intersectionSize(BitDocSet) and unionSize
is between 3 and 4 times faster. (yonik, SOLR-15)
4. much faster unionSize when one of the sets is a HashDocSet: O(smaller_set_size)
5. Optimized getDocSet() for term queries resulting in a 36% speedup of
facet.field
queries where DocSets aren't cached (for example, if the number of terms in the
field
is larger than the filter cache.) (yonik)
6. Optimized facet.field faceting by as much as 500 times when the field has
a single token per document (not multiValued & not tokenized) by using the
Lucene FieldCache entry for that field to tally term counts. The first request
utilizing the FieldCache will take longer than subsequent ones.

Bug Fixes
1. Fixed delete-by-id for field types who's indexed form is different
from the printable form (mainly sortable numeric types).
2. Added escaping of attribute values in the XML response (Erik Hatcher)
3. Added empty extractTerms() to FunctionQuery to enable use in
a MultiSearcher (Yonik)
4. WordDelimiterFilter sometimes lost token positionIncrement information
5. Fix reverse sorting for fields were sortMissingFirst=true
(Rob Staveley, yonik)
6. Worked around a Jetty bug that caused invalid XML responses for fields
containing non ASCII chars. (Bertrand Delacretaz via yonik, SOLR-32)
7. WordDelimiterFilter can throw exceptions if configured with both
generate and catenate off. (Mike Klaas via yonik, SOLR-34)
8. Escape '>' in XML output (because ]]> is illegal in CharData)
9. field boosts weren't being applied and doc boosts were being applied to fields
(klaas)
10. Multiple-doc update generates well-formed xml (klaas, SOLR-65)
11. Better parsing of pingQuery from solrconfig.xml (hossman, SOLR-70)
12. Fixed bug with "Distribution" page introduced when Versions were
added to "Info" page (hossman)
13. Fixed HTML escaping issues with user input to analysis.jsp and action.jsp
(hossman, SOLR-74)
