Apache Solr Release Notes

Release 9.4.0 [2023-10-14]

New Features (6)
1. SOLR-16654: Add support for node-level caches
  (Michael Gibney)
2. SOLR-16954: Make Circuit Breakers available for Update Requests
  (janhoy, Christine Poerschke, Pierre Salagnac)
3. SOLR-15056: A new Circuit breaker for percentage of CPU utilization is added. The former "CPU" circuit breaker is now more correctly named LoadAverageCircuitBreaker as it trips on system load average which is not a percentage. Users of legacy CircuitBreakerManager are not affected by this change.
  (Walter Underwood, janhoy, Christine Poerschke, Atri Sharma)
4. SOLR-15771: bin/auth creates reasonable roles and permissions for security: 'search', 'index', 'admin', and 'superadmin' and assigns user superadmin role.
  (Eric Pugh, janhoy)
5. SOLR-15367: Convert "rid" functionality into a default Tracer
  (Alex Deparvu, David Smiley)
6. SOLR-16852: Backups now allow metadata to be added as key-values
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
Improvements (25)
1. SOLR-16490: `/admin/cores?action=backupcore` now has a v2 equivalent, available at `GET /api/cores/coreName/backups`
  (Sanjay Dutt via Jason Gerlowski)
2. SOLR-16883: Postlogs tool for indexing Solr logs in Solr now supported on Windows by converting it to a Solr CLI command: `bin/solr postlogs`. `bin/postlogs` script marked deprected.
  (Eric Pugh, Will White)
3. SOLR-16847: v2 APIs are now able to access any applicable solrconfig.xml "requestHandler" configuration.
  (Alex Deparvu via Jason Gerlowski)
4. SOLR-11685: When SolrCloud shard leaders change while indexing updates arrive, Solr could fail and return a HTTP 503 status. Switched to 510 so that CloudSolrClient will auto-retry it and probably succeed.
  (David Smiley, Alex Deparvu)
5. SOLR-16490: The semi-internal `/admin/cores?action=restorecore` API now has a v2 equivalent, available at `POST /api/cores/coreName/restore {...}`
  (Sayanti Dey via Jason Gerlowski)
6. SOLR-14667: Make zkClientTimeout consistent and based on a system property. The default values are stored in a single place referenced everywhere and they are based on system properties
  (Alex Deparvu)
7. SOLR-16926: The embedded Zookeeper's bind host can now be overridden, but still defaults to "127.0.0.1". This is useful when using the ZkCli on a remote Solr using the embedded ZK, or Solr running in a Docker container. The SOLR_ZK_EMBEDDED_HOST envVar or -Dsolr.zk.embedded.host sysProp control this bind address.
  (Houston Putman)
8. SOLR-16825: Solr now offers `SolrRequest` implementations for a subset of its v2 APIs. These implementations are experimental and should be used with caution, but may be preferable to their v1 counterparts in some circumstances as they are generated and more likely to remain up-to-date with future API changes.
  (Jason Gerlowski, David Smiley, Houston Putman)
9. SOLR-16927: Allow SolrClientCache clients to use Jetty HTTP2 clients
  (Alex Deparvu, David Smiley)
10. SOLR-16941: The SolrCLI now uses a smarter default for the Solr URL if none is provided, using the same envVars used when running Solr.
  (Houston Putman)
11. SOLR-16940: Users can pass Java system properties to the SolrCLI via the SOLR_TOOL_OPTS environment variable.
  (Houston Putman)
12. SOLR-15474: Make Circuit breakers individually pluggable
  (Atri Sharma, Christine Poerschke, janhoy)
13. SOLR-16982: Trip Circuit Breakers only for external requests
  (janhoy, Christine Poerschke)
14. SOLR-16896, SOLR-16897: Add support of OAuth 2.0/OIDC 'code with PKCE' flow
  (Lamine Idjeraoui, janhoy, Kevin Risden, Anshum Gupta)
15. SOLR-16879: Limit the number of concurrent expensive core admin operations by running them in a dedicated thread pool. Backup, Restore and Split are expensive operations.
  (Pierre Salagnac, David Smiley)
16. SOLR-16964: The solr.jetty.ssl.sniHostCheck option now defaults to the value of SOLR_SSL_CHECK_PEER_NAME, if it is provided. This will enable client and server hostName check settings to be governed by the same environment variable. If users want separate client/server settings, they can manually override the solr.jetty.ssl.sniHostCheck option in SOLR_OPTS.
  (Houston Putman)
17. SOLR-16970: SOLR_OPTS is now able to override options set by the Solr control scripts, "bin/solr" and "bin/solr.cmd".
  (Houston Putman)
18. SOLR-16968: The MemoryCircuitBreaker now uses average heap usage over the last 30 seconds
  (janhoy, Christine Poerschke)
19. SOLR-14886: Suppress stack traces in query response
  (Isabelle Giguere via Alex Deparvu)
20. SOLR-16461: `/solr/coreName/replication?command=backup` now has a v2 equivalent, available at `/api/cores/coreName/replication/backups`
  (Sanjay Dutt, Jason Gerlowski, Alex Deparvu)
21. SOLR-16938: Auto configure tracer without a <tracerConfig> tag in solr.xml
  (Alex Deparvu)
22. SOLR-16950: SimpleTracer propagation for manual transaction ids
23. SOLR-15440: The Learning To Rank FieldValueFeature now uses DocValues when docValues=true and stored=true are combined.
  (Christine Poerschke, Tom Gilke)
24. SOLR-16959: Make the internal CoresLocator implementation configurable in solr.xml
  (Vincent Primault via David Smiley)
25. SOLR-16967: Some ConfigSet operations formerly required that solrconfig.xml exist but should not have because the name of the file is configurable when creating cores / collections.
  (David Smiley)
Optimizations (4)
1. SOLR-16845: BinaryResponseWriter should not attempt cast to Utf8CharSequence
  (Alex Deparvu via Houston Putman)
2. SOLR-16265: reduce memory usage of ContentWriter based requests in Http2SolrClient
  (Alex Deparvu, Kevin Risden, David Smiley)
3. SOLR-16989: Optimize and consolidate reuse of DocValues iterators for value retrieval

4. SOLR-16905: Allow access to specified "solr.allowPaths" in Security Manager
  (daylicron, Houston Putman)
5. SOLR-16922: Scripts wrongly prohibit embedded zookeeper when solr port is between 55535 and 64535
  (Tiziano Degaetano, Colvin Cowie)
6. SOLR-16360: Atomic update on boolean fields doesn't reflect when value starts with "1", "t" or "T"
  (Rahul Goswami, Justin Sweeney, David Smiley)
7. PR#1826: Allow looking up Solr Package repo when that URL references a raw repository.json hosted on Github when the file is JSON but the mimetype used is text/plain.
  (Eric Pugh)
8. SOLR-16944: V2 API /api/node/health should be governed by "health" permission, not "config-read"
  (janhoy)
9. SOLR-16859: Missing Proxy support for Http2SolrClient
  (Alex Deparvu)
10. SOLR-16929: SolrStream propagates undecoded error message

  (David Smiley, Paul McArthur)
19. SOLR-16899: CoreAdminOp are statically registered in CoreAdminHandler, preventing more than one Solr instance in the same JVM
  (Vincent Primault via Alex Deparvu)
20. SOLR-16963: The "solr.jetty.ssl.verifyClientHostName" sysProp and "SOLR_SSL_CLIENT_HOSTNAME_VERIFICATION" envVar have been fixed, and the setting once again tells the server to check the originating client hostname against the client certificate when doing mTLS.
  (Houston Putman, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)

Release 9.3.0 [2023-07-21]

Upgrade Notes (1)
1. SOLR-13396: Add property to control the deletion of unknown cores. The default setting is to not delete unknown cores. This is a change to behaviour introduced in Solr 7.3.1 by SOLR-12066.

  (Jason Gerlowski)
4. SOLR-16393: Solr's v2 "aliasprop" CRUD APIs have been tweaked slightly to be more intuitive. Alias property modification is now available at `PUT /api/aliases/aliasName/properties` (for bulk modification) and `PUT /api/aliases/aliasName/properties/propName` (for single property updates). Additionally new APIs have been added for listing properties (`GET /api/aliases/aliasName/properties`), fetching single property values (`GET /api/aliases/aliasName/properties/propName`), and property deletion (`DELETE /api/aliases/aliasName/properties/propName`).
  (Alex Deparvu via Jason Gerlowski)
5. SOLR-10466: Introduce Builder setter for defaultCollection on cloud SolrClients. Deprecated direct setter setDefaultCollection on cloud SolrClients.
  (Eric Pugh, David Smiley)
6. SOLR-16391: The path of the v2 "collprop" API has been tweaked slightly to be more intuitive. Endpoints are now available under the `PUT` and `DELETE` verbs at `/api/collections/collName/properties/propName` depending on whether the property is being upserted or deleted.

  (John Durham via Jason Gerlowski)
14. SOLR-16391: Solr's v2 "create collection" API has been tweaked slightly to be more intuitive. It remains available under `POST /api/collections`, but the top level "create" command-name key has been removed.

  (Ilaria Petreti via Alessandro Benedetti)
18. SOLR-16393: The v2 "create alias" API has been tweaked to be more intuitive. The format of the request body has changed slightly: the "create-alias" command specifier has been removed, the "name" field for individual routers has been renamed to "type", and the routers themselves are now always grouped into a list. Additionally the v2 API has moved to the new path `POST /api/aliases`.
  (Jason Gerlowski)
19. SOLR-16394: The v2 "restore" API has been tweaked to be more intuitive. The top-level "restore-collection" command specifier has been removed, and the API now lives at the new path `POST /api/backups/backupName/restore`.
  (Jason Gerlowski)
20. SOLR-16782: bin/solr export tool now supports JSON export format as well as the existing JSON With Lines format.
  (Eric Pugh)
21. SOLR-16392: The v2 deletereplica API has been tweaked to be more intuitive: single replicas deletion now uses `DELETE /api/collections/cName/shards/sName/replicas/rName`, deletion of multiple relicas in a single shard uses `DELETE /api/collections/cName/shards/sName/replicas?count=123`, and deletion of multiple replicas from all shards now uses `PUT /api/collections/cName/scale {"count": 123"}`
  (Jason Gerlowski)
22. SOLR-14853: Security: Converted enableRemoteStreaming and enableStreamBody solrconfig options into system properties and env vars. Attempts to set them the old way are no-op and log a warning.
  (David Smiley, janhoy, Ishan Chattopadhyaya)

25. SOLR-9378: Internal shard requests no longer include the wasteful shard.url param. [shard] transformer now defaults to returning only the shard id (based on luceneMatchVersion), but can be configured to return the legacy list of replicas.
  (hossman)
26. SOLR-16394: The v2 list and delete (collection) backup APIs have been tweaked to be more intuitive: backup listing now uses `GET /api/backups/bName/versions`, backup deletion by ID now uses `DELETE /api/backups/bName/versions/1`, backup deletion by recency now uses `DELETE /api/backups/bName/versions?retainLatest=3`, and index-file "garbage collection" now uses `PUT /api/backups/backupName/purgeUnused`
  (Jason Gerlowski)

  (Houston Putman)
31. SOLR-16392: The v2 "create shard" API has been tweaked to be more intuitive, by removing the top-level "create" command specifier. The rest of the API remains unchanged.
  (Jason Gerlowski)
32. SOLR-16806: The included PlacementPlugins (Random, Simple, MinimizeCores and Affinity) now all implement the OrderedNodePlacementPlugin, which provides the implementation for computePlacements() and computeBalancing(). Each implementing PlacementPlugin provides a way of weighting Solr Nodes, and the OrderedNodePlacement plugin then uses the weights to decide the optimal strategy for placing new replicas or balancing existing replicas.
  (Houston Putman, Tomás Fernández Löbbe, Jason Gerlowski, Radu Gheorghe)
33. SOLR-16392: The v2 "add-replica" API has been tweaked to be more intuitive, by removing the top-level command specifier and changing the path. The v2 functionality can now be accessed at: `POST /api/collections/cName/shards/sName/replicas {...}`
  (Jason Gerlowski)
34. SOLR-16398: Several v2 "command" APIs have been tweaked to be more intuitive.

  (Jason Gerlowski)
36. SOLR-16806: The included PlacementPlugins (Random, Simple, MinimizeCores and Affinity) now all implement the OrderedNodePlacementPlugin, which provides the implementation for computePlacements() and computeBalancing(). Each implementing PlacementPlugin provides a way of weighting Solr Nodes, and the OrderedNodePlacement plugin then uses the weights to decide the optimal strategy for placing new replicas or balancing existing replicas.
  (Houston Putman, Tomás Fernández Löbbe, Jason Gerlowski, Radu Gheorghe)
37. SOLR-16820: Align allowed collection names and the validation of them in the CreateCollectionAPI and the PackageTool.
  (Will White via Eric Pugh)
38. SOLR-16748: The Official Solr Dockerfile has been cleaned up. The SOLR_DOWNLOAD_SERVER arg is now the only way to specify where to download Solr from. If the url includes "apache.org", then GPG checks will be computed, otherwise the GPG checks will be skipped.
  (Houston Putman)
39. SOLR-16470: `/coreName/replication?command=filelist` now has a v2 equivalent, available at `GET /api/cores/coreName/replication/files?generation=123`

Optimizations (8)
1. SOLR-16694: Shortcut Http2SolrClient mimeType check for default response parse
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe, Alex Deparvu)
2. SOLR-16692: Allow setting the a CookieStore implementation in Http2SolrClient. When Cookies are not needed, this can be set to `org.eclipse.jetty.util.HttpCookieStore.Empty`, which avoids some of the processing that happens in the default `java.net.InMemoryCookieStore`. Solr can also be started with the system property `solr.http.disableCookies` set to `true`, so that the internal clients that Solr uses to communicate between nodes use `HttpCookieStore.Empty`.
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
3. SOLR-16693: For query timeAllowed, switch from ExitableDirectoryReader to TimeLimitingBulkScorer
  (David Smiley)
4. SOLR-16764: Clarify that ExportTool exports documents in JSON with Lines format, not standard JSON. Add explicit -compress option for gzipping output. Add ability to specific a directory for output along with a specific file when using -out.
  (Eric Pugh)
5. SOLR-14630: When querying with the `_route_` or `shards.preference` parameter and if there are multiple replicas for a collection on the receiving node, there was sometimes an extra HTTP hop or the non-intended replica may receive the request. SolrJ will now form the URL directly to the intended replica of the collection (and not the collection itself).
  (Pierre Salagnac, Ivan Djurasevic, Jason Baik)

  (Andy Webb, Christine Poerschke, Mikhail Khludnev)
Improvements (35)
1. 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)
2. 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`
3. SOLR-11657: Deprecate ContentStream in favour of RequestWriter.ContentWriter.
  (Joshua Ouma via Eric Pugh)
4. SOLR-16302: WARN when restoring backup if ConfigSet with same name already exists
  (Albert Moser via Kevin Risden)
5. 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)
6. 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`.

10. 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)
11. SOLR-15479: A v2 equivalent of the RENAME command is now available at `POST /api/collections/collName/rename`.
  (Anakhe Ajayi via Jason Gerlowski)
12. 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)
13. SOLR-16565: posting the same file to the package store should not throw an error
  (noble)

  (Eric Pugh, David Smiley, Alex Deparvu)
21. SOLR-10470: Introduce Builder setter for parallelCacheRefreshes on cloud SolrClients. Deprecated direct setter setParallelCacheRefreshes on cloud SolrClients.

  (Jason Gerlowski, Joshua Ouma)
34. 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)
35. SOLR-16397: /mlt now has a v2 API available at `GET /api/collections/collName/mlt`

13. SOLR-14972: Prometheus: Change default port of prometheus exporter to 8989 because it clashed with default embedded zookeeper port
  (janhoy)
14. SOLR-15011: /admin/logging handler will now propagate setLevel (log threshold) to all nodes when told to. The admin UI now tells it to.

  (baisui)
16. SOLR-15185: Various optimizations to the {!hash} QParser, typically used by the parallel() streaming expression. The hash algorithm changed.
  (David Smiley)
17. SOLR-2852: SolrJ: remove Woodstox dependency. It was never truly required there. Software doing lots of XML processing can choose to add it or alternatives if they wish.
  (David Smiley)
18. SOLR-15161: Don't encourage users to hack JSON response mimetype by documenting in examples how to specify wt=json use mimetype of text/plain.
  (Eric Pugh)
19. SOLR-15276: V2 API call to look up async request status restful style of "/cluster/command-status/1000" instead of "/cluster/command-status?requestid=1000".
  (Eric Pugh)
20. SOLR-15274: The QueryElevationComponent now supports loading elevation file changes on commits. This doesn't work in SolrCloud (but may someday). QEC no longer supports a config file in the data dir.
  (David Smiley)
21. SOLR-14185: Added DocSet.iterator(LeafReaderContext) and some related changes that may add a minor performance boost to some cases (e.g. interval facets). Reduced need for Filter.java.
  (Michael Gibney, David Smiley)

  (Matthias Krepp, Eric Pugh)
29. 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)
30. 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)

  (Shawn Heisey, David Smiley)
34. SOLR-15301: Eliminate repetitive index size calculation for Solr metrics
  (Andras Salamon)

  (janhoy, Hrishikesh Gadre, David Smiley)
38. SOLR-15705: A delete-by-id command is forwarded to all shards when using the CompositeId router with a router field and the route is missing from the command.
  (Michael Kosten via Christine Poerschke, David Smiley, Eric Pugh)
39. 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)
40. 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.

  (Houston Putman)
47. SOLR-15213: Atomic updates: "add" now uses add-or-replace logic for child documents. They can also themselves be atomic updates.
  (James Ashbourne, Endika Posadas via David Smiley)
48. SOLR-10321: Highlighting (hl.method=unified): When there are no highlights for a field, don't return the field in the response at all.

53. SOLR-15257: Replace DocSet.getTopFilter with DocSet.makeQuery. Create DocSetQuery which is a Query and DocSetProducer.
  (Collins Abanda, Mike Drob, Tim Potter, David Smiley, Michael Gibney)
54. 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 need for SolrConstantScoreQuery.

  (Joel Bernstein)
60. SOLR-9575: Solr no longer requires a solr.xml to be present in $SOLR_HOME. If one is not found, Solr will load the one in $SOLR_TIP/server/solr/solr.xml. Solr also does not require a zoo.cfg in $SOLR_HOME if started with embedded zookeeper.
  (janhoy)
61. SOLR-11905: New Admin UI Query screen input boxes for JSON query and facet DSL

64. SOLR-15982: Add end time value to backup response, standardize backup response key names and date formats
  (Artem Abeleshev, Christine Poerschke, Houston Putman)
65. SOLR-14401: Metrics: Only SearchHandler and subclasses have "local" metrics now. 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.
  (David Smiley)
66. SOLR-16088: De-couple Http2SolrClient and ContentStreamBase from org.apache.http
  (janhoy)
67. SOLR-15286: A brand new follower in the legacy mode should wait to replicate index before reporting healthy
  (Pushkar Raste, Anshum Gupta)
68. SOLR-15590: Start CoreContainer via ServletContextListener
  (Gus Heck)
69. SOLR-16131: Jetty threads' contextClassLoaders are set to the Solr core's resourceLoader's classLoader. This allows for custom plugins and Solr modules to rely on 3rd part dependencies that use the thread contextClassLoader.
  (Houston Putman)

SOLR-13325: ComputePlanAction now supports a collection selector of the form `collections: {policy: my_policy}` which can be used to select multiple collections that match collection 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)

Added new solr.xml config 'allowPaths', controlled by system property 'solr.allowPaths' that allows you to add other allowed paths when needed.
18. 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)
19. SOLR-14539: Introducing {!bool excludeTags=...} for Query DSL.

When doing this, the value of matching documents in the response (numFound) will be an approximation.
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Munendra S N, Tomás Fernández Löbbe, David Smiley)
7. SOLR-14472: Autoscaling "cores" preference now retrieves the core count more efficiently, and counts all cores.
  (David Smiley)
8. SOLR-14552: Add BlockMax-WAND support to ReRank queries
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
9. SOLR-14554: Add BlockMax-WAND support for queries where the score is requested

  (Anatolii Siuniaev via Mikhail Khludnev)

5. Jetty 9.4.19.v20190610
Upgrade Notes (1)
1. 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 (4)
1. SOLR-14106: Cleanup Jetty SslContextFactory usage
  (Ryan Rockenbaugh, Jan Hoydahl, Kevin Risden)
2. SOLR-14109: Always log to stdout from server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.{bat|sh}

Release 8.4.0 [2019-12-29]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.19.1
2. Carrot2 3.16.0
3. Velocity 2.0 and Velocity Tools 3.0
4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.5.5
5. Jetty 9.4.19.v20190610
Upgrade Notes (11)
1. 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.
2. SOLR-13817: Deprecate legacy SolrCache implementations. Users are encouraged to transition their configurations to use org.apache.solr.search.CaffeineCache instead.
  (ab)
3. 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)
4. 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.
5. SOLR-14025: VelocityResponseWriter has been hardened - only trusted configsets can render configset provided templates and rendering templates from request parameters has been removed.
6. SOLR-13904: timeAllowed parameter is allowed to have 0 value
  (Houston Putman, Mikhail Khludnev)
7. SOLR-13970: Using Collapse filter or expand component with grouping is explicitly disallowed as the combination would cause inconsistent behavior and NPEs.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. SOLR-14065: VelocityResponseWriter has been deprecated and may be removed in a future version.
11. 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.

1. SOLR-13821: A Package store to store and load package artifacts
  (noble, Ishan Chattopadhyaya)
2. SOLR-13822: A Package management system with the following features: (a) A packages.json in ZK to store the configuration, (b) APIs to read/edit them, and (c) Isolated classloaders to load the classes from those packages when the 'class' attribute is prefixed with '<package-name>:'

Release 8.3.0 [2019-11-02]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (5)

3. Velocity 2.0 and Velocity Tools 3.0
4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.5.5

Upgrade Notes (2)
1. 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.

  (Jörn Franke, janhoy)
37. SOLR-13793: HttpSolrCall now maintains internal request count (_forwardedCount) for remote queries and limits them to the number of replicas. This avoids making too many cascading calls to remote servers, which, if not restricted, can bring down nodes containing the said collection
  (Kesharee Nandan Vishwakarma, Ishan Chattopadhyaya)
38. SOLR-13834: ZkController#getSolrCloudManager() created a new instance of ZkStateReader, thereby causing mismatch in the visibility of the cluster state and, as a result, undesired race conditions

Release 8.2.0 [2019-07-26]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.19.1
2. Carrot2 3.16.0
3. Velocity 2.0 and Velocity Tools 3.0
4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.5.5
5. Jetty 9.4.19.v20190610
Upgrade Notes (6)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-13541: Upgrade Jetty to 9.4.19.v20190610.
  (Erick Erickson, Cao Manh Dat)
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. SOLR-13507: Support for "addr" parameter from the "/solr/admin/zookeeper" endpoint has now been removed and will no longer be supported.

  (Cao Manh Dat, Colvin Cowie)
2. SOLR-13523: In 8.1, Atomic Updates were broken (NPE) when the schema declared the new _nest_path_ field even if you weren't using nested docs. In-place updates were not affected (worked). Reminder: if you don't need nested docs then remove both _root_ and _nest_path_ !

Release 8.1.0 [2019-05-16]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.19.1
2. Carrot2 3.16.0
3. Velocity 2.0 and Velocity Tools 3.0
4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.14
5. Jetty 9.4.14.v20181114
Upgrade Notes (8)
1. 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.
2. 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
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. SolrGangliaReporter has been removed from Solr because support for Ganglia has been removed from Dropwizard Metrics 4 due to a transitive dependency on LGPL.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 (16)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-13171 : A true streaming parser for javabin payload/stream without creating any objects
  (noble)
3. SOLR-13261: Make SortableTextField work with export/streaming. NOTE: requires that the field have useDocValuesAsStored=true (either explicit or as the default).
4. SOLR-12121: JWT Token authentication plugin with OpenID Connect implicit flow login through Admin UI
  (janhoy)
5. SOLR-12120: New AuditLoggerPlugin type allowing custom Audit logger plugins
  (janhoy)
6. SOLR-10436: Add hashRollup Streaming Expression
  (Joel Bernstein)
7. SOLR-13276: Adding Http2 equivalent classes of CloudSolrClient and HttpClusterStateProvider
  (Cao Manh Dat)
8. SOLR-13287: Allow zplot to visualize probability distributions in Apache Zeppelin
  (Joel Bernstein)
9. SOLR-13271: Read-only mode for SolrCloud collections
  (ab, shalin)
10. SOLR-13292: Provide extended per-segment status of a collection.
  (ab)
11. 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)
12. SOLR-13374: Add fetchSize parameter to the jdbc Streaming Expression
  (Joel Bernstein)
13. 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)
14. SOLR-13262: Add collection RENAME command and support using aliases in most collection admin commands.
  (ab)
15. SOLR-13391: Add variance and standard deviation stream evaluators

  (Mano Kovacs, Varun Thacker, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
5. SOLR-11883: 500 code on functional query syntax errors and parameter dereferencing errors
6. (Munendra S N via Mikhail Khludnev)
7. 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)
8. SOLR-9882: 500 error code on breaching timeAllowed by core and distributed (fsv) search, old and json facets
  (Mikhail Khludnev)

  (hu xiaodong via Christine Poerschke)
12. SOLR-13284: NullPointerException with 500 http status on omitted or wrong wt param. It's fixed by fallback to json
  (Munendra S N via Mikhail Khludnev)
13. SOLR-13244: Admin UI Nodes view fails and is empty when a node is temporarily down
  (janhoy)
14. SOLR-13253: IndexSchema.getResourceLoader was being used to load non-schema things, which can be a memory leak if "shareSchema" and other circumstances occur. Furthermore it's reference to SolrConfig was removed.
  (David Smiley)

9. 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)
10. SOLR-12167: Throw an exception, instead of just a warning, when unknown atomic update operation is encountered

Other Changes (27)
1. SOLR-11763: Upgrade Guava to 25.1-jre
  (Markus Jelsma, Kevin Risden)
2. SOLR-13222: Improve logging in StreamingSolrClients
  (Peter Cseh via Kevin Risden)
3. 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)
4. 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.
5. SOLR-9763: Remove the workaround implemented for HADOOP-12767
  (Kevin Risden)
6. SOLR-13060: Improve HdfsAutoAddReplicasIntegrationTest and HdfsCollectionsAPIDistributedZkTest

Release 8.0.0 [2019-03-14]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.19.1
2. Carrot2 3.16.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.13
5. Jetty 9.4.14.v20181114
Upgrade Notes (20)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Custom AuthenticationPlugin must provide its own setup for Http2SolrClient through implementing HttpClientBuilderPlugin.setup, if not internal requests can't be authenticated.
5. 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)
6. 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)
7. 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)
8. 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)
9. 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)
10. 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}'
11. SOLR-12605: UpdateShardHandler's updateOnlyClient is now a Http2SolrClient (previous HttpSolrClient). This new client does not support 'maxConnections','maxConnectionsPerHost' parameters.
12. 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.
13. SOLR-12754: The UnifiedHighlighter hl.weightMatches now defaults to true. If there are unforseen highlight problems, this may be the culprit.
14. 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".
15. 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)
16. 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)
17. 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.
18. SOLR-9515: Hadoop dependencies have been upgraded to Hadoop 3.2.0 from 2.7.2.
  (Mark Miller, Kevin Risden)
19. 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.
20. 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 (14)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-12879: MinHash query parser that builds queries providing a measure of Jaccard similarity
  (Andy Hind via Tommaso Teofili)
3. SOLR-12593: The default configSet now includes an "ignored_*" dynamic field.
  (David Smiley)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-12791: Add Metrics reporting for AuthenticationPlugin
  (janhoy)
6. SOLR-12730: Implement staggered SPLITSHARD requests in IndexSizeTrigger.
  (ab)
7. SOLR-12639: Umbrella JIRA for adding support HTTP/2
  (Cao Manh Dat)
8. 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).
9. SOLR-13134: Allow the knnRegress Stream Evaluator to more easily perform bivariate regression.
  (Joel Bernstein)
10. SOLR-13104: Add natural and repeat Stream Evaluators
  (Joel Bernstein)
11. SOLR-13147: Add movingMAD Stream Evaluator
  (Joel Bernstein)
12. SOLR-13155: Add command-line option for testing autoscaling configurations.
  (ab)
13. SOLR-13241: Add 'autoscaling' tool support to solr.cmd
  (Jason Gerlowski)
14. 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 (6)
1. SOLR-13058: Fix block that was synchronizing on the wrong collection in OverseerTaskProcessor
  (Gus Heck)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-13126: Query boosts were not being combined correctly for documents where not all boost queries matched
  (Alan Woodward, Mikhail Khludnev)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-13255 : ClasscastException when URPs try to read a String field which returns a ByteArrayUTF8CHarSequence . This is a regression in release 7.7
  (noble)
6. SOLR-13299: Fix Windows startup script to disable HTTP/2 if TLS is enabled on Java 8.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Improvements (3)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. 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 (3)
1. SOLR-12725: ParseDateFieldUpdateProcessorFactory should reuse ParsePosition.
  (ab)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-13130: during the ResponseBuilder.STAGE_GET_FIELDS directly copy string bytes and avoid creating String Objects
  (noble)
Other Changes (14)
1. SOLR-12614: Make "Nodes" view the default in AdminUI "Cloud" tab
  (janhoy)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-5163: edismax now throws an exception when qf refers to a nonexistent field
  (Charles Sanders, David Smiley)
4. SOLR-12805: Store previous term (generation) of replica when start recovery process
  (Cao Manh Dat)
5. SOLR-12652: Remove SolrMetricManager.overridableRegistryName method
  (Peter Somogyi via David Smiley)
6. LUCENE-8513: SlowCompositeReaderWrapper now uses MultiTerms directly instead of MultiFields
  (David Smiley)
7. SOLR-11812: Remove backward compatibility of old LIR implementation in 8.0
  (Cao Manh Dat)
8. SOLR-12620: Remove the Admin UI Cloud -> Graph (Radial) view
  (janhoy)
9. SOLR-12775: LowerCaseTokenizer is deprecated, and should be replaced by LetterTokenizer and LowerCaseFilter
  (Alan Woodward)
10. SOLR-13036: Fix retry logic in JettySolrRunner
  (Gus Heck)
11. SOLR-12535: Solr no longer accepts index time boosts in JSON provided to Solr.
  (David Smiley)
12. SOLR-13086: Improve the error message reported by DocumentObjectBinder when a setter is not found
  (Gus Heck)
13. SOLR-12365: Renamed class Config to XmlConfigFile
  (David Smiley)
14. SOLR-9515: Hadoop dependencies have been upgraded to Hadoop 3.2.0 from 2.7.2.
  (Mark Miller, Kevin Risden)

4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.14
5. Jetty 9.4.14.v20181114
Bug fixes (10)
1. SOLR-13779: Use the safe fork of simple-xml for clustering contrib.
  (Dawid Weiss, Sachin Pattan)
2. SOLR-13718: SPLITSHARD (async) with failures in underlying sub-operations can result in data loss
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya)
3. SOLR-12291: prematurely reporting not yet finished async Collections API call as completed when collection's replicas are colocated at least at one node
  (Varun Thacker, Mikhail Khludnev)
4. SOLR-13828: Improve ExecutePlanAction error handling.
5. SOLR-13472: Forwarded requests should skip authorization on receiving nodes
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya)
6. SOLR-13793: HttpSolrCall now maintains internal request count (_forwardedCount) for remote queries and limits them to the number of replicas. This avoids making too many cascading calls to remote servers, which, if not restricted, can bring down nodes containing the said collection
  (Kesharee Nandan Vishwakarma, Ishan Chattopadhyaya)
7. SOLR-13971: Velocity response writer's resource loading now possible only through startup parameters. Also, removed velocity response writer from _default configset.
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Sachin Pattan)
8. SOLR-14025: VelocityResponseWriter has been hardened - only trusted configsets can render configset provided templates and rendering templates from request parameters has been removed.
9. SOLR-13158: DataImportHandler: Added enable.dih.dataConfigParam system property to toggle whether the dataConfig param is permitted.
  (David Smiley, janhoy, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
10. SOLR-14259: Back port javabin performance regression fixes from SOLR-14013
  (noble)

Release 7.7.2 [2019-06-04]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.19.1
2. Carrot2 3.16.0

4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.14
5. Jetty 9.4.14.v20181114
Upgrade Notes (2)
1. 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.
2. 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 (25)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-12708: Async collection actions should not hide internal failures
  (Mano Kovacs, Varun Thacker, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
3. SOLR-11876: In-place update fails when resolving from Tlog if schema has a required field
  (Justin Deoliveira, janhoy, Ishan Chattopadhyaya)
4. SOLR-13349: High CPU usage in Solr due to Java 8 bug
  (Erick Erickson)
5. SOLR-13355: 'all' permission ignored by RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin in most cases
  (Jason Gerlowski, janhoy)
6. SOLR-13344: Admin UI inaccessible with RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin

Other Changes (1)
1. SOLR-13363: Upgrade to ZooKeeper 3.4.14
  (Erick Erickson)

Release 7.7.1 [2019-03-01]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.19.1
2. Carrot2 3.16.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.13
5. Jetty 9.4.14.v20181114
Upgrade Notes (1)
1. 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 (2)
1. SOLR-13255 : ClasscastException when URPs try to read a String field which returns a ByteArrayUTF8CHarSequence . This is a regression in release 7.7
  (noble)
2. 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.

  (Matt Pearce via janhoy)
6. SOLR-10975: New Admin UI Query does not URL-encode the query produced in the URL box
  (janhoy)
7. 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)
8. 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)
9. 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)

  (noble)
9. SOLR-12973: Admin UI "Nodes" view support for replica* replica names.
  (Daniel Collins, Christine Poerschke, janhoy)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-12983: JavabinLoader should avoid creating String Objects and create UTF8CharSequence fields from byte[]
  (noble)
12. SOLR-13016: Computing suggestions when policy have "#EQUAL" or "#ALL" rules take too long
  (noble)
13. SOLR-13029: solr.hdfs.buffer.size can be configured for HdfsBackupRepository for better performance
  (Tim Owen via Mikhail Khludnev)

Release 7.6.0 [2018-12-14]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.19.1
2. Carrot2 3.16.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.11
5. Jetty 9.4.11.v20180605
Upgrade Notes (4)
1. SOLR-12767: The min_rf parameter is no longer needed, Solr will always return the achieved replication factor (rf) in the response header.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. SOLR-12861: Added a Solr factory for ByteBuffersDirectory, which will replace deprecated RAMDirectory in Solr 9.0.
New Features (25)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-11522: /autoscaling/suggestions now include rebalance options as well even if there are no violations
  (noble)
4. SOLR-12822: /autoscaling/suggestions to include suggestion to add-replica for lost replicas
  (noble)
5. SOLR-12815: Implement maxOps limit for IndexSizeTrigger.
  (ab)
6. SOLR-12843: Implement a MultiContentWriter in SolrJ to post multiple files/payload at once
  (noble)
7. SOLR-12780: Add support for Leaky ReLU and TanH activations in contrib/ltr NeuralNetworkModel class.
  (Kamuela Lau, Christine Poerschke)
8. SOLR-12846: Added support for "host" variable in autoscaling policy rules
  (noble)
9. 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)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-12828: Add oscillate Stream Evaluator to support sine wave analysis.
  (Joel Bernstein)
12. SOLR-11907: Add convexHull and associated geometric Stream Evaluators.
  (Joel Bernstein)
13. SOLR-12811: Add enclosingDisk and associated geometric Stream Evaluators.
  (Joel Bernstein)
14. SOLR-12840: Add pairSort Stream Evaluator
  (Joel Bernstein)
15. SOLR-12862: Add log10 Stream Evaluator and allow the pow Stream Evaluator to accept a vector of exponents
  (Joel Bernstein)
16. SOLR-12942: Add an option in IndexSizeTrigger to select the split shard method.
  (ab)
17. SOLR-12938: Cluster Status returns results for aliases, instead of throwing exceptions
  (Gus Heck)
18. SOLR-11997: Suggestions API/UI should show an entry where a violation could not be resolved
  (noble)
19. SOLR-12971: Add pivot Stream Evaluator to pivot facet co-occurrence counts into a matrix
  (Joel Bernstein)
20. SOLR-12795: Introduce 'rows' and 'offset' parameter in FacetStream
  (Joel Bernstein, Amrit Sarkar, Varun Thacker)
21. SOLR-11572: Add recip Stream Evaluator to support reciprocal transformations
  (Joel Bernstein)
22. SOLR-12936: Allow percentiles Stream Evaluator to accept an array of percentiles to calculate
  (Joel bernstein)
23. SOLR-12829: Add plist (parallel list) Streaming Expression
  (Joel Bernstein)
24. SOLR-12975: Add ltrim and rtrim Stream Evaluators
  (Joel Bernstein)
25. 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 (14)
1. SOLR-12762: Fix javadoc for SolrCloudTestCase.clusterShape() method and add a method that validates only against Active slices
  (Anshum Gupta)
2. 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)
3. 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)
4. SOLR-12835: Document statistics exposed by the Query Result Cache when maxRamMB is configured.
  (shalin)
5. SOLR-12423: Upgrade to Tika 1.19.1 when available
  (Tim Allison via Erick Erickson)
6. SOLR-12793: Move TestCloudJSONFacetJoinDomain and TestCloudJSONFacetSKG to the facet test package
  (Varun Thacker)
7. SOLR-12861: Add Solr factory for ByteBuffersDirectory.
8. 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)
9. SOLR-12956: Add Javadoc @since tag to Analyzer component classes
  (Alexandre Rafalovitch)
10. SOLR-12966: Add Javadoc @since tag to URP classes
  (Alexandre Rafalovitch)
11. SOLR-12600: Fix parameter names in Solr JSON documentation
  (Alexandre Rafalovitch)
12. SOLR-12497: Add documentation to use Hadoop credential provider-based keystore/trustsore.
13. (Mano Kovacs, Cassandra Targett)
14. SOLR-13006: ZkNodeProps to be able to load from both javabin and JSON
  (noble)
Bug Fixes (20)
1. SOLR-12803: Ensure ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient sends documents to correct collection
  (Jason Gerlowski)
2. SOLR-11836: FacetStream works with bucketSizeLimit of -1 which will fetch all the buckets.
  (Alfonso Muñoz-Pomer Fuentes, Amrit Sarkar via Varun Thacker)
3. SOLR-12776: Setting of TMP in solr.cmd causes invisibility of Solr to JDK tools
  (Petr Bodnar via Erick Erickson)
4. SOLR-12648: Autoscaling framework based replica placement is not used unless a policy is specified or non-empty cluster policy exists.
  (shalin)
5. SOLR-12750: Migrate API should lock the collection instead of shard.
  (shalin)
6. 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)
7. SOLR-12814: Metrics history causing "HttpParser URI is too large >8192" when many collections
  (janhoy)
8. 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)
9. SOLR-12729: SplitShardCmd should lock the parent shard to prevent parallel splitting requests.
  (ab)
10. SOLR-12851: Improvements and fixes to let and select Streaming Expressions
  (Joel Bernstein)
11. SOLR-12874: Java 9+ GC Logging filesize parameter should use a unit.
  (Tim Underwood via Uwe Schindler)
12. SOLR-12868: Request forwarding for v2 API is broken
  (noble)
13. SOLR-7557: Fix parsing of child documents using queryAndStreamResponse
  (Marvin Bredal Lillehaug/Stian Østerhaug via janhoy)

15. used with DVHASH method in json.facet.
  (Tim Underwood via Mikhail Khludnev)
16. SOLR-12954: fix facet.pivot refinement bugs when using facet.sort=index and facet.mincount>1
  (hossman)
17. SOLR-12023: Autoscaling policy engine shuffles replicas needlessly
  (noble)
18. SOLR-12243: Edismax missing phrase queries when phrases contain multiterm synonyms
  (Elizabeth Haubert, Alessandro Benedetti, Uwe Schindler, Steve Rowe)
19. SOLR-12977: Autoscaling tries to fetch metrics from dead nodes
  (noble)
20. SOLR-12978: In autoscaling NPE thrown for nodes where value is absent
  (noble)
Improvements (11)
1. SOLR-12767: Solr now always includes in the response of update requests the achieved replication factor
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-12739: Make autoscaling policy based replica placement the default strategy for placing replicas.
  (shalin)
4. SOLR-12806: use autoscaling policies with strict=false to prioritize node allocation
  (noble)
5. 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)
6. SOLR-12892: MapWriter to use CharSequence instead of String
  (noble)
7. SOLR-12882: Eliminate excessive lambda allocation in json facets FacetFieldProcessorByHashDV
  (Tim Underwood)
8. SOLR-12699: Make contrib/ltr LTRScoringModel immutable and cache its hashCode.
  (Stanislav Livotov, Edward Ribeiro, Christine Poerschke)
9. 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)
10. SOLR-12964: Json Facets: use DocValuesIterator advanceExact() instead of advance() in FacetFieldProcessorByHashDV and UniqueSinglevaluedSlotAcc.
  (Tim Underwood)
11. SOLR-12880: Json Facets: Show the FacetProcessor class name instead of the FacetRequest in the JSON Facets debug-trace output
  (Tim Underwood)

Release 7.5.0 [2018-09-24]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.18
2. Carrot2 3.16.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.11
5. Jetty 9.4.11.v20180605
Upgrade Notes (6)
1. 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)
2. LUCENE-7976: TieredMergePolicy now respects maxSegmentSizeMB by default when executing findForcedMerges (optimize) and findForcedDeletesMerges (expungeDeletes)
  (Erick Erickson)
3. SOLR-12395: SignificantTermsQParserPlugin's name is now 'significantTerms' and its old name 'sigificantTerms' is deprecated.
4. SOLR-11694: Extremely outdated UIMA contrib module has been removed
  (Alexandre Rafalovitch)
5. 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)
6. 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 (42)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-12474: Add an UpdateRequest Object that implements RequestWriter.ContentWriter
  (noble)
3. 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)
4. 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)
5. 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)
6. 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)
7. 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)
8. SOLR-12722: The [child] transformer now takes an 'fl' param to specify which fields to return. It will evaluate doc transformers if present. In 7.5 a missing 'fl' defaults to the current behavior of all fields, but in 8.0 defaults to the top/request "fl".
  (Moshe Bla, David Smiley)

25. SOLR-11990: Make it possible to co-locate replicas of multiple collections together in a node. A collection may be co-located with another collection during collection creation time by specifying a 'withCollection' parameter.

1. SOLR-12449: Response /autoscaling/diagnostics shows improper json
  (noble)
2. SOLR-11676: Keep nrtReplicas and replicationFactor in sync while creating a collection and modifying a collection
  (Varun Thacker)
3. 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)
4. SOLR-11216: Race condition in PeerSync
  (Cao Manh Dat)
5. SOLR-11807: Restoring collection now treats maxShardsPerNode=-1 as unlimited

  (Steve Rowe)
23. 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)
24. SOLR-12344: SolrSlf4jReporter doesn't set MDC context.

  (janhoy)
2. SOLR-12455: Refactor JSON serialization code into SolrJ package
  (noble)
3. 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)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-12305: When a replica is applying updates, some kind of updates can skip buffering for faster recovery.
  (Cao Manh Dat)
6. 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.

  (Amrit Sarkar, Varun Thacker)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-12723: Reduce object creation in HashBasedRouter.

26. SOLR-12771: Improve Autoscaling Policy and Preferences documentation.
  (hossman, Steve Rowe)

Release 7.4.0 [2018-06-27]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.17
2. Carrot2 3.16.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.11
6. Jetty 9.4.10.v20180503
Upgrade Notes (3)
1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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.

  (ab, Steve Rowe)
12. 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 may continue to use the old API but should be updated to avoid this bug
  (Eros Taborelli, Erick Erickson, ab)
13. SOLR-12199: TestReplicationHandler.doTestRepeater(): TEST_PORT interpolation failure: Server refused connection at: http://127.0.0.1:TEST_PORT/solr

  (ab)
30. SOLR-12261: If you attempt to delete a collection immediately after deleting an alias it used to be a part of, you may get an error that's it's a member of that alias. This check now ensures the alias state is sync()'ed with ZK first.
  (David Smiley)
31. SOLR-12275: wrong caching for {!filters} as well as for `filters` local param in {!parent} and {!child}
  (David Smiley, Mikhail Khluldnev)

  (Martijn Koster)
37. 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)
38. SOLR-12170: JSON Facet API: Terms facet on a date field sometimes failed with an exception complaining about "Invalid Date String".
  (yonik)

  (Steve Rowe)
55. 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)
56. SOLR-12416: When creating a time routed alias, the router.autoDeleteAge option wasn't considered.
  (Joachim Sauer via David Smiley)
57. SOLR-12450: Don't allow referal to external resources in various config files (CVE-2018-8026).
  (Yuyang Xiao, Uwe Schindler)
Optimizations (13)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-11731: LatLonPointSpatialField can now decode points from docValues when stored=false docValues=true, albeit with maximum precision of 1.37cm

  (Varun Thacker, shalin)
7. 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)
8. SOLR-12338: Replay buffering tlog in parallel.
  (Cao Manh Dat, David Smiley)
9. 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)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-9922: Write buffering updates to another tlog.
  (Cao Manh Dat)
12. 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)
13. SOLR-12198: Stream Evaluators should not copy matrices needlessly
  (Joel Bernstein)

Release 7.3.0 [2018-04-04]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.16
2. Carrot2 3.15.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.11
6. Jetty 9.4.8.v20171121
Upgrade Notes (10)
1. 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.
2. SOLR-11798: The top-level <highlighting> syntax in solrconfig.xml is now formally deprecated in favour of <searchComponent> equivalent syntax. See also SOLR-1696.
3. SOLR-11809: QueryComponent's rq parameter parsing no longer considers the defType parameter.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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
9. SOLR-11957: The default Solr log file size and number of backups is raised to 32MB and 10 respectively
10. 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 (44)

2. LUCENE-2899: In the Solr analysis-extras contrib, added support for the OpenNLP-based analysis components in the Lucene analysis/opennlp module: tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, phrase chunking, and lemmatization.

Upgrade Notes (2)
1. 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)
2. 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 (7)
1. '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.
2. 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.
3. SOLR-11254: the abstract DocTransformer class now has an abstract score-less transform method variant.
4. 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)
5. 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).
6. 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.
7. SOLR-11477: in the XML query parser (defType=xmlparser or {!xmlparser ... }) the resolving of external entities is now disallowed by default.

  (noble)
14. 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)
15. SOLR-11215: Make a metric accessible through a single param.
  (ab)
16. SOLR-11244: Query DSL for Solr
  (Cao Manh Dat)

Release 7.0.0 [2017-09-20]

Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.13
2. Carrot2 3.15.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.10
6. Jetty 9.3.14.v20161028
Upgrading from Solr 6.x (40)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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
4. HttpClientInterceptorPlugin is now HttpClientBuilderPlugin and must work with a SolrHttpClientBuilder rather than an HttpClientConfigurer.
5. 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
6. 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.
7. HttpSolrClient#setAllowCompression has been removed and compression must be enabled as a constructor param.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Deprecated collection and configset methods on MiniSolrCloudCluster have been removed
11. 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.
12. Deprecated method getNumericType() has been removed from FieldType. Use getNumberType() instead
13. 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.
14. <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.
15. 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/ .
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. The PostingsSolrHighlighter is deprecated. Furthermore, it now internally works via a re-configuration of the UnifiedSolrHighlighter.
19. Deprecated LatLonType, GeoHashField, SpatialPointVectorFieldType, and SpatialTermQueryPrefixTreeFieldType. Instead, switch to LatLonPointSpatialField or SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeFieldType or RptWithGeometrySpatialField.
20. 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"/>'
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. TemplateUpdateRequestProcessorFactory uses {} instead of ${} for template
24. SOLR-9565: The name of TemplateUpdateRequestProcessorFactory' is changed to 'template' from 'Template' and the name of 'AtomicUpdateProcessorFactory' is changed to 'atomic' from 'Atomic'
25. 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
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. StandardRequestHandler is deprecated. Simply use SearchHandler instead.
32. 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.
33. All deperated methods of ClusterState (except getZkClusterStateVersion()) have been removed. Use DocCollection methods instead.
34. SOLR-11023: EnumField has been deprecated in favor of new EnumFieldType.
35. 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.
36. V2 APIs are now available at /api, in addition to /v2 (which is now deprecated). Legacy APIs continue to remain available at /solr.
37. 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.
38. 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.
39. SOLR-10379: ManagedSynonymFilterFactory has been deprecated in favor of ManagedSynonymGraphFilterFactory.
40. SOLR-10503: CurrencyField has been deprecated in favor of new CurrencyFieldType.
New Features (51)
1. SOLR-9857, SOLR-9858: Collect aggregated metrics from nodes and shard leaders in overseer.
  (ab)
2. SOLR-9835: Create another replication mode for SolrCloud
3. SOLR-10356: Adds basic math Streaming Evaluators
  (Dennis Gove)
4. SOLR-10393: Adds UUID Streaming Evaluator
  (Dennis Gove)
5. SOLR-10046: Add UninvertDocValuesMergePolicyFactory class.
  (Keith Laban, Christine Poerschke)
6. SOLR-10547: JSON Facet API: Implement support for single-valued string fields for min/max aggregations.
  (yonik)
7. SOLR-10262: Add support for configurable metrics implementations.
  (ab)
8. SOLR-10431: Make it possible to invoke v2 api calls using SolrJ
  (Cao Manh Dat, Noble Paul, shalin)
9. 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)
10. SOLR-10278: A new DSL to set cluster-wide preferences and policies on how to allocate replicas to nodes
  (noble, shalin)
11. SOLR-10373: Implement read API for autoscaling configuration at /admin/autoscaling or /cluster/autoscaling paths.
  (shalin)
12. SOLR-10677: Expose a diagnostics API to return nodes sorted by load in descending order and any policy violations.
  (shalin)
13. 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)
14. SOLR-10433: CollectionAdmin requests in SolrJ to support V2 calls
  (noble)
15. SOLR-9989: Add support for PointFields in FacetModule (JSON Facets)
  (Cao Manh Dat)
16. SOLR-10406: v2 API error messages list the URL request path as /solr/____v2/... when the original path was /v2/...
  (Cao Manh Dat, noble)
17. SOLR-10574: New _default config set replacing basic_configs and data_driven_schema_configs.
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, noble, shalin, hossman, David Smiley, janhoy, Alexandre Rafalovitch)
18. SOLR-10272: Use _default config set if no collection.configName is specified with CREATE
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya)
19. 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)
20. 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)
21. SOLR-10282: bin/solr support for enabling Kerberos authentication
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Jason Gerlowski)

Upgrade Notes (2)
1. SOLR-11477: in the XML query parser (defType=xmlparser or {!xmlparser ... }) the resolving of external entities is now disallowed by default.
2. SOLR-11482: RunExecutableListener was deprecated and is disabled by default for security reasons. Legacy applications still using it must explicitely pass '-Dsolr.enableRunExecutableListener=true' to the Solr command line. Be aware that you should really disable API-based config editing at the same time, using '-Ddisable.configEdit=true'!

  (Erick Erickson)
15. SOLR-10552: JSON Facet API numBuckets was not consistent between distributed and non-distributed requests when there was a mincount > 1. This has been corrected by changing numBuckets cardinality processing to ignore mincount > 1 for non-distributed requests.
  (yonik)
16. SOLR-10520: child.facet.field doubled counts at least when rows>0.
  (Dr. Oleg Savrasov via Mikhail Khludnev)

4. SOLR-10421: Fix params persistence for solr/contrib/ltr (MinMax|Standard)Normalizer classes.
  (Jianxiong Dong, Christine Poerschke)
5. SOLR-10404: The fetch() streaming expression wouldn't work if a value included query syntax chars (like :+-). Fixed, and enhanced the generated query to not pollute the queryCache.

Detailed Change List
Upgrade Notes (2)
1. 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)
2. 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.

  (Dennis Gove)
12. 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)

  (Joel Bernstein)
19. SOLR-8593: Integrate Apache Calcite into the SQLHandler
  (Kevin Risden, Cao Manh Dat, Joel Bernstein)
20. SOLR-10146: Added button to the Admin UI 'Collection' tab for deleting an inactive shard

30. 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)
31. 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.

Detailed Change List
Upgrade Notes (8)
1. 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.
2. 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:
3. The "totalTime" metric has been removed because it is no longer supported
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 (40)
1. SOLR-9918: Add SkipExistingDocumentsProcessor that skips duplicate inserts and ignores updates to missing docs
  (Tim Owen via koji)
2. SOLR-9293: Solrj client support for hierarchical clusters and other topics marker.
  (Dawid Weiss)
3. 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)
4. SOLR-9442, SOLR-9787: Adds Array of Name Type Value (json.nl=arrntv) style to JSONResponseWriter.
  (Jonny Marks, Christine Poerschke, hossman)
5. 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)

13. SOLR-9721: javabin Tuple parser for streaming and other end points
  (noble)
14. 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)
15. SOLR-9728: Ability to specify Key Store type in solr.in.sh file for SSL
  (Michael Suzuki, Kevin Risden)
16. 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)
17. 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)
18. SOLR-9513: Generic authentication plugins (GenericHadoopAuthPlugin and ConfigurableInternodeAuthHadoopPlugin) that delegate all functionality to Hadoop authentication framework.
  (Hrishikesh Gadre via Ishan Chattopadhyaya)

21. SOLR-9788: Use instrumented jetty classes provided by the dropwizard metric library.
  (shalin)
22. SOLR-9805: Use metrics-jvm library to instrument jvm internals such as GC, memory usage and others.
  (shalin)
23. 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)
24. SOLR-9884: Add version to segments handler output
  (Steven Bower via Erick Erickson)
25. SOLR-9725: Substitute properties into JdbcDataSource configuration
  ( Jamie Jackson, Yuri Sashevsky via Mikhail Khludnev)
26. 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)
27. SOLR-9880: Add Ganglia, Graphite and SLF4J metrics reporters.
  (ab)
28. SOLR-9897: Add hl.requireFieldMatch toggle support when using the UnifiedHighlighter. Defaults to false like the other highlighters that support this.
  (David Smiley)

  (ab)
Optimizations (5)
1. SOLR-9704: Facet Module / JSON Facet API: Optimize blockChildren facets that have filters specified by using those filters as acceptDocs.
  (yonik)
2. SOLR-9726: Reduce number of lookupOrd calls made by the DocValuesFacets.getCounts method.
  (Jonny Marks via Christine Poerschke)
3. SOLR-9772: Deriving distributed sort values (fieldSortValues) should reuse comparator and only invalidate leafComparator.
  (John Call via yonik)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-9902: StandardDirectoryFactory should use Files API for it's move implementation.
  (Mark Miller, Mike Drob)
Bug Fixes (38)
1. SOLR-9701: NPE in export handler when "fl" parameter is omitted.
  (Erick Erickson)
2. SOLR-9433: SolrCore clean-up logic uses incorrect path to delete dataDir on failure to create a core.
  (Evan Sayer, shalin)
3. SOLR-9360: Solr script not properly checking SOLR_PID

6. SOLR-9005: In files example, add a guard condition to javascript URP script
  (Alexandre Rafalovitch)
7. 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)
8. 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)
9. SOLR-9751: PreAnalyzedField can cause managed schema corruption.
  (Steve Rowe)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-9284: The HDFS BlockDirectoryCache should not let it's keysToRelease or names maps grow indefinitely.
  (Mark Miller, Michael Sun)

  (Mark Miller)
20. SOLR-9707: Don't forward DeleteByQuery requests to down replicas.
  (Jessica Cheng Mallet via Varun Thacker)
21. SOLR-9823: CoreContainer incorrectly setting MDCLoggingContext for core
  (Jessica Cheng Mallet via Erick Erickson)
22. SOLR-1953: It may be possible for temporary files to accumulate until the Solr process is shut down.
  (Karl Wright, Mark Miller)
23. 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)
24. SOLR-9760: Windows script doesn't need write permission
  (Alex Crome by Mikhail Khludnev)
25. SOLR-9699,SOLR-4668: fix exception from core status in parallel with core reload
  (Mikhail Khludnev)

Release 6.3.0 [2016-11-08]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.13
2. Carrot2 3.12.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
6. Jetty 9.3.8.v20160314
Detailed Change List
Upgrade Notes (6)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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)
6. 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.

Bug Fixes (15)
1. SOLR-9494: Use of {!collapse} sometimes doesn't correctly return true for Collector.needsScores(), especially when the query was cached. This can cause an exception when 'q' is a SpanQuery or potentially others.
  (David Smiley)
2. SOLR-6744: fl renaming / alias of uniqueKey field generates null pointer exception in SolrCloud configuration
  (Mike Drob via Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
3. SOLR-9445: Admin requests are retried by CloudSolrClient and LBHttpSolrClient on failure.

  (shalin)
13. SOLR-9490: Fixed bugs in BoolField that caused it to erroneously return "false" for all docs depending on usage
  (Colvin Cowie, Dan Fox, hossman)
14. 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)
15. SOLR-9408: Fix TreeMergeOutputFormat to add timestamp metadata to a commit. SolrCloud replication relies on this.
  (Jessica Cheng Mallet via Varun Thacker)

Release 6.1.0 [2016-06-17]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release.
Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.7

3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
6. Jetty 9.3.8.v20160314
Upgrading from Solr any prior release (1)
1. If you use historical dates, specifically on or before the year 1582, you should re-index.
Detailed Change List
New Features (33)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-8842: authorization APIs do not use name as an identifier for a permission for update, delete commands and 'before' attribute
  (noble)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-8859: Spatial fields like RPT can now be configured to use Spatial4j registered shape formats e.g. via format="GeoJSON".

  (Uwe Schindler)
7. SOLR-5776,SOLR-9068,SOLR-8970:
  - Refactor SSLConfig so that SSLTestConfig can provide SSLContexts using a NullSecureRandom to prevent SSL tests from blocking on entropy starved machines.
  - SSLTestConfig: Alternate (pseudo random) NullSecureRandom for Constants.SUN_OS.
  - SSLTestConfig: Replace NullSecureRandom w/ NotSecurePseudoRandom.
  - Change SSLTestConfig to use a keystore file that is included as a resource in the test-framework jar so users subclassing SolrTestCaseJ4 don't need to preserve magic paths.

System Requirements (1)
1. LUCENE-5950: Move to Java 8 as minimum Java version.
  (Ryan Ernst, Uwe Schindler)
Upgrading from Solr 5.x (18)
1. The deprecated SolrServer and subclasses have been removed, use SolrClient instead.
2. The deprecated <nrtMode> configuration in solrconfig.xml has been removed. Please remove it from solrconfig.xml.
3. SolrClient.shutdown() has been removed, use SolrClient.close() instead.
4. The deprecated zkCredientialsProvider element in solrcloud section of solr.xml is now removed. Use the correct spelling (zkCredentialsProvider) instead.
5. 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)
6. 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:
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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
11. 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").
12. SOLR-8698: 'useParams' attribute specified in request handler cannot be overridden from request params
13. When requesting stats in date fields, "sum" is now a double value instead of a date. See SOLR-8671
14. 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.
15. 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".
16. 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.
17. SolrJ no longer includes DateUtil. If for some reason you need to format or parse dates, simply use Instant.format() and Instant.parse().
18. 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.

Optimizations (7)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. 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)
4. SOLR-8532: Optimize GraphQuery when maxDepth is set by not collecting edges at the maxDepth level.
  (Kevin Watters via yonik)
5. SOLR-8669: Non binary responses use chunked encoding because we flush the outputstream early.
  (Mark Miller)
6. SOLR-8720: ZkController#publishAndWaitForDownStates should use #publishNodeAsDown.
  (Mark Miller)
7. SOLR-8082: Can't query against negative float or double values when indexed="false" docValues="true" multiValued="false".
  (hossman, Ishan Chattopadhyaya, yonik, Steve Rowe)

  (Kristine Jetzke, Shawn Heisey, Alan Woodward)
4. SOLR-8793: Fix Core admin status API to not fail when computing the size of the segments_N file if the file no longer exists (for example, if a commit happened and the IndexReader hasn't refreshed yet). In this case the reported size of the file is -1.

  (from 6.0)
9. SOLR-8155: JSON Facet API - field faceting on a multi-valued string field without docValues (i.e. UnInvertedField implementation), but with a prefix or with a sort other than count, resulted in incorrect results. This has been fixed, and facet.prefix support for facet.method=uif has been enabled.

14. SOLR-8983: Cleanup clusterstate and replicas for a failed create collection request
  (Varun Thacker, Anshum Gupta)

  (Alan Woodward)

Release 5.5.0 [2016-02-22]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release
Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.7
2. Carrot2 3.10.4
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
6. Jetty 9.2.13.v20150730
Upgrading from Solr 5.4 (7)
1. 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.
2. 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()
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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:
    <mergeFactor>??</mergeFactor> <mergePolicy class="org.apache.lucene.index.TieredMergePolicy"> <bool name="useCompoundFile">???</bool>  ... </mergePolicy>  <useCompoundFile>???</useCompoundFile>  <mergePolicyFactory class="org.apache.solr.index.TieredMergePolicyFactory"> <int name="maxMergeAtOnce">??</int>  <int name="segmentsPerTier">??</int>  ... </mergePolicyFactory>
    <maxMergeDocs>????</maxMergeDocs> <mergeFactor>??</mergeFactor> <mergePolicy class="org.apache.lucene.index.Log?MergePolicy"> <bool name="useCompoundFile">???</bool>  ... </mergePolicy>  <useCompoundFile>???</useCompoundFile>  <mergePolicyFactory class="org.apache.solr.index.Log?MergePolicyFactory"> <int name="maxMergeDocs">????</int>  <int name="mergeFactor">??</int>  ... </mergePolicyFactory>
6. 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.
7. SOLR-6594: Deprecated the old schema API which will be removed in a later major release
Detailed Change List
New Features (22)
1. SOLR-7928: Improve CheckIndex to work against HdfsDirectory
  (Mike Drob, Gregory Chanan)
2. SOLR-8378: Add upconfig and downconfig commands to the bin/solr script
  (Erick Erickson)
3. SOLR-8434: Add wildcard support to role, to match any role in RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin
  (noble)
4. SOLR-4280: Allow specifying "spellcheck.maxResultsForSuggest" as a percentage of filter query results
  (Markus Jelsma via James Dyer)
5. SOLR-8429: Add a flag 'blockUnknown' to BasicAuthPlugin to block unauthenticated requests
  (noble)
6. SOLR-8230: JSON Facet API: add "facet-info" into debug section of response when debugQuery=true
  (Michael Sun, yonik)
7. SOLR-8428: RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin adds an 'all' permission
  (noble)
8. SOLR-5743: BlockJoinFacetComponent and BlockJoinDocSetFacetComponent for calculating facets by child.facet.field parameter with {!parent ..}.. query. They count facets on children documents aggregating (deduplicating) counts by parent documents
  (Dr. Oleg Savrasov via Mikhail Khludnev)
9. SOLR-8220: Read field from DocValues for non stored fields.
  (Keith Laban, yonik, Erick Erickson, Ishan Chattopadhyaya, shalin)
10. SOLR-8470: Make TTL of PKIAuthenticationPlugin's tokens configurable through a system property (pkiauth.ttl)
  (noble)
11. SOLR-8477: Let users choose compression mode in SchemaCodecFactory
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
12. 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)
13. SOLR-8312: Add domain size and numBuckets to facet telemetry info (facet debug info for the new Facet Module).
  (Michael Sun, yonik)
14. 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)
15. SOLR-4619: Improve PreAnalyzedField query analysis.
  (Andrzej Bialecki, Steve Rowe)
16. SOLR-8560: Added RequestStatusState enum which can be used when comparing states of asynchronous requests.
  (Shai Erera)
17. 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)
18. 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)
19. SOLR-8642: SOLR allows creation of collections with invalid names
  (Jason Gerlowski via Erick Erickson)
20. 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)
21. SOLR-8648: DELETESTATUS API for selective deletion and flushing of stored async collection API responses.
  (Anshum Gupta)
22. 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 (35)
1. SOLR-8175: Word Break Spellchecker would throw AIOOBE with certain queries containing "should" clauses.
  (Ryan Josal via James Dyer)
2. SOLR-2556: The default spellcheck query converter was ignoring terms consisting entirely of digits.
  (James Dyer)
3. SOLR-8366: ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient attempts to use response's content type as charset encoding for parsing exception.
  (shalin)
4. SOLR-6271: Fix ConjunctionSolrSpellChecker to not compare StringDistance by instance.
  (Igor Kostromin via James Dyer)
5. SOLR-7304: Fix Spellcheck Collate to not invalidate range queries.
  (James Dyer)
6. SOLR-8373: KerberosPlugin: Using multiple nodes on same machine leads clients to fetch TGT for every request
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya via noble)
7. SOLR-8367: Fix the LeaderInitiatedRecovery 'all replicas participate' fail-safe.
  (Mark Miller, Mike Drob)
8. SOLR-8401: Windows start script fails when executed from a different drive.
  (Nicolas Gavalda via Erick Erickson)
9. SOLR-6992: Fix "Files" UI to show the managed-schema file as well.
  (Shawn Heisey, Varun Thacker)
10. SOLR-2649: MM ignored in edismax queries with operators.
  (Greg Pendlebury, Jan Høydahl et. al. via Erick Erickson)
11. 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)
12. 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)
13. SOLR-8015: HdfsLock may fail to close a FileSystem instance if it cannot immediately obtain an index lock.
  (Mark Miller)
14. SOLR-8422: When authentication enabled, requests fail if sent to a node that doesn't host the collection
  (noble)
15. SOLR-8059: &debug=results for distributed search when distrib.singlePass (sometimes activated automatically) could result in an NPE.
  (David Smiley, Markus Jelsma)
16. SOLR-8460: /analysis/field could throw exceptions for custom attributes.
  (David Smiley, Uwe Schindler)
17. SOLR-8276: Atomic updates and realtime-get do not work with non-stored docvalues.
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, yonik via shalin)
18. SOLR-7462: AIOOBE in RecordingJSONParser
  (Scott Dawson, noble)
19. SOLR-8494: SimplePostTool and therefore the bin/post script cannot upload files larger than 2.1GB.
  (shalin)
20. SOLR-8451: We should not call method.abort in HttpSolrClient or HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery and HttpSolrCall#remoteQuery should not close streams.
  (Mark Miller)
21. SOLR-8450: Our HttpClient retry policy is too permissive.
  (Mark Miller, shalin)
22. SOLR-8533: Raise default maxUpdateConnections and maxUpdateConnectionsPerHost to 100k each.
  (Mark Miller)
23. 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)
24. SOLR-6279: cores?action=UNLOAD now waits for the core to close before unregistering it from ZK.
  (Christine Poerschke)
25. SOLR-2798: Fixed local params to work correctly with multivalued params
  (Demian Katz via hossman)
26. SOLR-8541: Highlighting a geo RPT field would throw an NPE instead of doing nothing.
  (Pawel Rog via David Smiley)
27. SOLR-8548: Core discovery was not following symlinks
  (Aaron LaBella via Alan Woodward)
28. SOLR-8564: Fix Embedded ZooKeeper to use <solrHome>/zoo_data for it's data directory
29. SOLR-8371: Try and prevent too many recovery requests from stacking up and clean up some faulty cancel recovery logic.
  (Mark Miller)
30. SOLR-8582 : memory leak in JsonRecordReader affecting /update/json/docs. Large payloads cause OOM
  (noble, shalin)
31. SOLR-8605: Regular expression queries starting with escaped forward slash caused an exception.
  (Scott Blum, yonik)
32. SOLR-8607: The Schema API refuses to add new fields that match existing dynamic fields.
  (Jan Høydahl, Steve Rowe)
33. 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)
34. SOLR-8651: The commitWithin parameter is not passed on for deleteById in UpdateRequest in distributed queries
  (Jessica Cheng Mallet via Erick Erickson)
35. SOLR-8551: Make collection deletion more robust.
  (Mark Miller)
Optimizations (4)
1. SOLR-8501: Specify the entity request size when known in HttpSolrClient.
  (Mark Miller)
2. SOLR-8615: Just like creating cores, we should use multiple threads when closing cores.
  (Mark Miller)
3. SOLR-7281: Add an overseer action to publish an entire node as 'down'.
  (Mark Miller, shalin)
4. SOLR-8669: Non binary responses use chunked encoding because we flush the outputstream early.
  (Mark Miller)
Other Changes (54)
1. LUCENE-6900: Added test for score ordered grouping, and refactored TopGroupsResultTransformer.
  (David Smiley)
2. SOLR-8336: CoreDescriptor now takes a Path for its instance directory, rather than a String
  (Alan Woodward)
3. SOLR-8351: Improve HdfsDirectory toString representation
  (Mike Drob via Gregory Chanan)
4. SOLR-8321: add a (SolrQueryRequest free) SortSpecParsing.parseSortSpec variant
  (Christine Poerschke)
5. SOLR-8338: in OverseerTest replace strings such as "collection1" and "state" with variable or enum equivalent
  (Christine Poerschke)
6. SOLR-8333: Several API tweaks so that public APIs were no longer refering to private classes
  (ehatcher, Shawn Heisey, hossman)
7. SOLR-8357: UpdateLog.RecentUpdates now implements Closeable
  (Alan Woodward)
8. 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)
9. SOLR-8353: Support regex for skipping license checksums
  (Gregory Chanan)
10. SOLR-8313: SimpleQueryParser doesn't use MultiTermAnalysis for Fuzzy Queries
  (Tom Hill via Erick Erickson)
11. SOLR-8359: Restrict child classes from using parent logger's state
  (Jason Gerlowski, Mike Drob, Anshum Gupta)
12. 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)
13. 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)
14. SOLR-7774: revise BasicDistributedZkTest.test logic w.r.t. 'commitWithin did not work on some nodes'
  (Christine Poerschke)
15. SOLR-8360: simplify ExternalFileField.getValueSource implementation
  (Christine Poerschke)
16. 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)

Release 5.4.1 [2016-01-23]

Bug Fixes (7)
1. SOLR-8460: /analysis/field could throw exceptions for custom attributes.
  (David Smiley, Uwe Schindler)
2. SOLR-8373: KerberosPlugin: Using multiple nodes on same machine leads clients to fetch TGT for every request

  (noble)
5. SOLR-7462: AIOOBE in RecordingJSONParser
  (Scott Dawson, noble)
6. 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)
7. SOLR-8418: Adapt to changes in LUCENE-6590 for use of boosts with MLTHandler and Simple/CloudMLTQParser

  (noble)

Release 5.4.0 [2015-12-14]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release
Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.7
2. Carrot2 3.10.4
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
6. Jetty 9.2.13.v20150730
Upgrading from Solr 5.3 (4)
1. 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.
2. SOLR-7859: The following APIs are now deprecated:
  - SolrCore.getStartTime: Use SolrCore.getStartTimeStamp instead.
  - SolrIndexSearcher.getOpenTime: Use SolrIndexSearcher.getOpenTimeStamp instead.
3. 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.
4. 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 (21)
1. SOLR-5756: A utility Collection API to move a collection from shared clusterstate.json (stateFormat=1, default until 4.x) to the per-collection state.json stored in ZooKeeper (stateFormat=2, default since 5.0) seamlessly without any application down-time. Example: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=MIGRATESTATEFORMAT&collection=<collection_name>
  (Noble Paul, Scott Blum, shalin)

  (hossman)
9. SOLR-7844: Zookeeper session expiry during shard leader election can cause multiple leaders.

  (yonik, Mark Miller)
21. SOLR-8094: HdfsUpdateLog should not replay buffered documents as a replacement to dropping them.

Release 5.3.0 [2015-08-21]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release
Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.7
2. Carrot2 3.9.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
6. Jetty 9.2.11.v20150529
Upgrading from Solr 5.2 (7)
1. SolrJ's CollectionAdminRequest class is now marked as abstract. Use one of its concrete sub-classes instead.
2. 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.
3. The zkCredientialsProvider element in solrcloud section of solr.xml is now deprecated. Use the correct spelling (zkCredentialsProvider) instead.
4. class TransformerWithContext is deprecated . Use DocTransformer directly
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

  (ehatcher)
18. SOLR-7766: support creation of a coreless collection via createNodeSet=EMPTY

  (Mark Miller, Timothy Potter, Ramkumar Aiyengar)
2. SOLR-4506: Clean-up old (unused) index directories in the background after initializing a new index; previously, Solr would leave old index.yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS directories left behind after failed recoveries in the data directory, which unnecessarily consumes disk space.

22. SOLR-7705: CoreAdminHandler Unload no longer handles null core name and throws NPE instead of a bad request error.
  (John Call, Edward Ribeiro via shalin)
23. SOLR-7529: CoreAdminHandler Reload throws NPE on null core name instead of a bad request error.
  (Jellyfrog, Edward Ribeiro via shalin)
24. 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)
25. SOLR-7810: map-reduce contrib script to set classpath for convenience refers to example rather than server.
  (Mark Miller)
26. SOLR-7765: Hardened the behavior of TokenizerChain when null arguments are used in constructor. This prevents NPEs in some code paths.
  (Konstantin Gribov, hossman)
27. SOLR-7829: Fixed a bug in distributed pivot faceting that could result in a facet.missing=true count which was lower then the correct count if facet.sort=index and facet.pivot.mincount > 1
  (hossman)

  (Timothy Potter)
Optimizations (6)
1. SOLR-7660: Avoid redundant 'exists' calls made to ZK while fetching cluster state updates.
  (shalin)
2. SOLR-7714: Reduce SearchHandler's use of ShardHandler objects across shards in a search, from one for each shard and the federator, to just one for the federator.
  (Christine Poerschke via Ramkumar Aiyengar)
3. SOLR-7751: Minor optimizations to QueryComponent.process (reduce eager instantiations, cache method calls)
  (Christine Poerschke via Ramkumar Aiyengar)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-7840: ZkStateReader.updateClusterState fetches watched collections twice from ZK.

28. SOLR-7805: Update Kite Morphlines to 1.1.0
  (Mark Miller)
29. SOLR-7803: Prevent class loading deadlock in TrieDateField; refactor date formatting and parsing out of TrieDateField and move to static utility class DateFormatUtil.
  (Markus Heiden, Uwe Schindler)
30. SOLR-7825: Forbid all usages of log4j and java.util.logging classes in Solr except classes which are specific to logging implementations. Remove accidental usage of log4j logger from a few places. The default log level for org.apache.zookeeper is changed from ERROR to WARN for zkcli.{sh,cmd} only.
  (Oliver Schrenk, Tim Potter, Uwe Schindler, shalin)
31. SOLR-7735: Look for solr.xml in Zookeeper by default in SolrCloud mode. If not found, it will be loaded from $SOLR_HOME/solr.xml as before. Sysprop solr.solrxml.location is now gone.

Release 5.2.0 [2015-06-07]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release
Versions of Major Components (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.7
2. Carrot2 3.9.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
6. Jetty 9.2.10.v20150310
Upgrading from Solr 5.1 (6)
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

23. SOLR-7470: Fix sample data to eliminate file order dependency for successful indexing, also fixed SolrCloudExampleTest to help catch this in the future.
  (hossman)
24. SOLR-7478: UpdateLog#close shuts down it's executor with interrupts before running it's close logic, possibly preventing a clean close.
  (Mark Miller)
25. SOLR-7494: Facet Module - unique() facet function was wildly inaccurate for high cardinality fields.

34. SOLR-7585: Fix NoSuchElementException in LFUCache resulting from heavy writes making concurrent put() calls.
  (Maciej Zasada via Shawn Heisey)
35. 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)
36. SOLR-7625: Ensure that the max value for seeding version buckets is updated after recovery even if the UpdateLog is not replayed.
  (Timothy Potter)

  (Anshum Gupta)
3. 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)
4. 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)
5. 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 (34)

  (Shawn Heisey)
2. SOLR-7358: TestRestoreCore fails in Windows
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya via Varun Thacker)
3. SOLR-7371: Make DocSet implement Accountable to estimate memory usage.
  (yonik, shalin)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-7384: Fix spurious failures in FullSolrCloudDistribCmdsTest.
  (shalin)
6. 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)
7. SOLR-6886: Removed redundant size check and added missing calls to DelegatingCollection.finish inside Grouping code.
  (Christine Poerschke via shalin)
8. SOLR-7421: RecoveryAfterSoftCommitTest fails frequently on Jenkins due to full index replication taking longer than 30 seconds.
  (Timothy Potter, shalin)
9. SOLR-7081: Add new test case to test if create/delete/re-create collections work.
  (Christine Poerschke via Ramkumar Aiyengar)
10. SOLR-7467: Upgrade t-digest to 3.1
  (hossman)
11. SOLR-7471: Stop requiring docValues for interval faceting
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
12. SOLR-7391: Use a time based expiration cache for one off HDFS FileSystem instances.
  (Mark Miller)
13. SOLR-5213: Log when shard splitting unexpectedly leads to documents going to no or multiple shards
  (Christine Poerschke, Ramkumar Aiyengar)
14. SOLR-7425: Improve MDC based logging format.
  (Mark Miller)
15. 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)
16. SOLR-7457: Make DirectoryFactory publishing MBeanInfo extensible.
  (Mike Drob via Mark Miller)
17. 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)
18. SOLR-7336: Added Replica.getState() and removed ZkStateReader state-related constants. You should use Replica.State to compare a replica's state.
  (Shai Erera)
19. 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)
20. 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)
21. 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)
22. 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)
23. SOLR-7102: bin/solr should activate cloud mode if ZK_HOST is set
  (Timothy Potter)
24. SOLR-7500: Remove pathPrefix from SolrDispatchFilter as Solr no longer runs as a part of a bigger webapp.
  (Anshum Gupta)
25. 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)
26. SOLR-7544: CollectionsHandler refactored to be more modular
  (Noble Paul)
27. SOLR-7532: Removed occurrences of the unused 'commitIntervalLowerBound' property for updateHandler elements from Solr configuration.
  (Marius Grama via shalin)
28. 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)
29. 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)
30. SOLR-7463: Stop forcing MergePolicy's "NoCFSRatio" based on the IWC "useCompoundFile" configuration
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
31. 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)
32. SOLR-7183: Fix Locale blacklisting for Minikdc based tests.
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, hossman via Anshum Gupta)
33. SOLR-7662: Refactored response writing to consolidate the logic in one place
  (Noble Paul)
34. SOLR-7110: Added option to optimize JavaBinCodec to minimize string Object creation
  (Noble Paul)

Upgrading from Solr 5.0 (6)
1. SolrClient query functions now declare themselves as throwing IOException in addition to SolrServerException, to bring them in line with the update functions.
2. SolrRequest.process() is now final. Subclasses should instead be parameterized by their corresponding SolrResponse type, and implement createResponse()
3. The signature of SolrDispatchFilter.createCoreContainer() has changed to take (String,Properties) arguments
4. Deprecated the 'lib' option added to create-requesthandler as part of SOLR-6801 in 5.0 release. Please use the add-runtimelib command

Release 5.0.0 [2015-02-20]

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 (6)
1. Apache Tika 1.7
2. Carrot2 3.9.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
6. Jetty 8.1.10.v20130312
Upgrading from Solr 4.x (31)
1. 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.
2. The "file" attribute of infoStream in solrconfig.xml is removed. Control this via your logging configuration (org.apache.solr.update.LoggingInfoStream) instead.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. getAnalyzer() in IndexSchema and FieldType that was deprecated in Solr 4.9 has been removed. Use getIndexAnalyzer() instead. See SOLR-6022 for more information.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. The OVERSEERSTATUS API returns new key names for operations such as "create" for "createcollection", "delete" for "removecollection" and "deleteshard" for "removeshard".
9. 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=/**
10. 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.
11. AdminHandlers is deprecated, /admin/* are implicitly defined, /get, /replication and handlers are also implicitly registered
  (refer to SOLR-6792)
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. SolrServer and associated classes have been deprecated. Applications using SolrJ should use the equivalent SolrClient classes instead.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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).
21. 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.
22. CachedSqlEntityProcessor has been removed, use SqlEntityProcessor with the cacheImpl parameter.
23. HttpDataSource has been removed, use URLDataSource instead.
24. LegacyHTMLStripCharFilter has been removed
25. CoreAdminRequest.persist() call has been removed. All changes made via CoreAdmin are persistent.
26. SpellCheckResponse.getSuggestions() and getSuggestionFrequencies() have been removed, use getAlternatives() and getAlternativeFrequencies() instead.
27. 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()
28. ClientUtil deprecated date methods have been removed, use DateUtil instead
29. FacetParams.FacetDateOther has been removed, use FacetRangeOther
30. ShardParams.SHARD_KEYS has been removed, use ShardParams._ROUTE_
31. 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)

Release 4.10.0 [2014-09-03]

Consult the LUCENE_CHANGES.txt file for additional, low level, changes in this release
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.5
  (with upgraded Apache POI 3.10.1)
2. Carrot2 3.9.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
Upgrading from Solr 4.9 (4)
1. 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).
2. Creating a SolrCore via CoreContainer.create() no longer requires an additional call to CoreContainer.register() to make it available to clients (see SOLR-6170).
3. CoreContainer.remove() has been removed. You should now use CoreContainer.unload() to delete a SolrCore (see SOLR-6232).
4. 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.)

  (Alan Woodward)
7. SOLR-2245: Improvements to the MailEntityProcessor:

  (Noble Paul)
15. SOLR-6318: New "terms" QParser for efficiently filtering documents by a list of values. For many values, it's more appropriate than a boolean query.
  (David Smiley)

Release 4.8.0 [2014-04-28]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.5
2. Carrot2 3.9.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.6
Upgrading from Solr 4.7 (4)
1. 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.
2. 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
3. ZooKeeper is upgraded from 3.4.5 to 3.4.6.
4. <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

  (Adrien Grand)
Security (1)
1. 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

  (Dawid Weiss)

Release 4.5.0 [2013-10-05]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.4
2. Carrot2 3.8.0
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5
Upgrading from Solr 4.4.0 (5)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. UpdateRequestExt has been removed as part of SOLR-4816. You should use UpdateRequest instead.
5. 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.
Detailed Change List
New Features (18)
1. SOLR-5219: Rewritten selection of the default search and document clustering algorithms.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. SOLR-5202: Support easier overrides of Carrot2 clustering attributes via XML data sets exported from the Workbench.

  (hossman, Uwe Schindler)
6. SOLR-5121: zkcli usage help for makepath doesn't match actual command.

  (hossman)
23. 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)
24. 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)
25. SOLR-5150: HdfsIndexInput may not fully read requested bytes.
  (Mark Miller, Patrick Hunt)
26. 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)

Release 4.4.0 [2013-07-23]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.4
2. Carrot2 3.6.2
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5
Upgrading from Solr 4.3.0 (3)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 (22)
1. SOLR-3251: Dynamically add fields to schema.
  (Steve Rowe, Robert Muir, yonik)
2. 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)
3. 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).
4. SOLR-4785: New MaxScoreQParserPlugin returning max() instead of sum() of terms
  (janhoy)
5. SOLR-4234: Add support for binary files in ZooKeeper.
  (Eric Pugh via Mark Miller)
6. SOLR-4048: Add findRecursive method to NamedList.
  (Shawn Heisey)
7. SOLR-4228: SolrJ's SolrPing object has new methods for ping, enable, and disable.
  (Shawn Heisey, hossman, Steve Rowe)
8. 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)
9. SOLR-4921: Admin UI now supports adding documents to Solr
  (gsingers, steffkes)
10. SOLR-4916: Add support to write and read Solr index files and transaction log files to and from HDFS.
  (phunt, Mark Miller, Gregory Chanan)
11. 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)
12. SOLR-4972: Add PUT command to ZkCli tool.
  (Roman Shaposhnik via Mark Miller)
13. SOLR-4973: Adding getter method for defaultCollection on CloudSolrServer.
  (Furkan KAMACI via Mark Miller)
14. SOLR-4897: Add solr/example/example-schemaless/, an example config set for schemaless mode.
  (Steve Rowe)
15. 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)
16. SOLR-4977: Add option to send IndexWriter's infostream to the logging system.
  (Ryan Ernst via Robert Muir)
17. 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)
18. SOLR-5003: CSV Update Handler supports optionally adding the line number/row id to a document
  (gsingers)
19. SOLR-5010: Add support for creating copy fields to the Schema REST API
  (gsingers)
20. SOLR-4991: Register QParserPlugins as SolrInfoMBeans
  (ehatcher)
21. 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)
22. 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 (37)
1. SOLR-4333: edismax parser to not double-escape colons if already escaped by the client application
  (James Dyer, Robert J. van der Boon)
2. SOLR-4776: Solrj doesn't return "between" count in range facets
  (Philip K. Warren via shalin)
3. SOLR-4616: HitRatio on caches is now exposed over JMX MBeans as a float.
  (Greg Bowyer)
4. SOLR-4803: Fixed core discovery mode (ie: new style solr.xml) to treat 'collection1' as the default core name.
  (hossman)
5. SOLR-4790: Throw an error if a core has the same name as another core, both old and new style solr.xml
6. SOLR-4842: Fix facet.field local params from affecting other facet.field's.
  (ehatcher, hossman)
7. SOLR-4814: If a SolrCore cannot be created it should remove any information it published about itself from ZooKeeper.
  (Mark Miller)
8. SOLR-4863: Removed non-existent attribute sourceId from dynamic JMX stats to fix AttributeNotFoundException
  (suganuma, hossman via shalin)
9. SOLR-4891: JsonLoader should preserve field value types from the JSON content stream.
  (Steve Rowe)
10. SOLR-4805: SolrCore#reload should not call preRegister and publish a DOWN state to ZooKeeper.
  (Mark Miller, Jared Rodriguez)
11. SOLR-4899: When reconnecting after ZooKeeper expiration, we need to be willing to wait forever, not just for 30 seconds.
  (Mark Miller)
12. 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)
13. SOLR-4915: The root cause should be returned to the user when a SolrCore create call fails.
  (Mark Miller)
14. SOLR-4925 : Collection create throws NPE when 'numShards' param is missing
  (Noble Paul)
15. 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)
16. 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)
17. 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!)
18. SOLR-4934, SOLR-4941: Fix handling of <mergePolicy> init arg "useCompoundFile" needed after changes in LUCENE-5038
  (hossman)
19. SOLR-4456: Admin UI: Displays dashboard even if Solr is down
  (steffkes)
20. SOLR-4949: UI Analysis page dropping characters from input box
  (steffkes)
21. 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)
22. SOLR-4926: Fixed rare replication bug that normally only manifested when using compound file format.
  (yonik, Mark Miller)
23. SOLR-4974: Outgrowth of SOLR-4960 that includes transient cores and pending cores
  (Erick Erickson)
24. SOLR-3369: shards.tolerant=true is broken for group queries
  (Russell Black, Martijn van Groningen, Jabouille jean Charles, Ryan McKinley via shalin)
25. SOLR-4452: Hunspell stemmer should not merge duplicate dictionary entries
  (janhoy)
26. SOLR-5000: ManagedIndexSchema doesn't persist uniqueKey tag after calling addFields method.
  (Jun Ohtani, Steve Rowe)
27. 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.
28. SOLR-4788: Multiple Entities DIH delta import: dataimporter.[entityName].last_index_time is empty.
  (chakming wong, James Dyer via shalin)
29. SOLR-4978: Time is stripped from datetime column when imported into Solr date field if convertType=true.
  (Bill Au, shalin)
30. SOLR-5019: spurious ConcurrentModificationException when spell check component was in use with filters.
  (yonik)
31. SOLR-5018: The Overseer should avoid publishing the state for collections that do not exist under the /collections zk node.
  (Mark Miller)
32. 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)
33. 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)
34. SOLR-5034: A facet.query that parses or analyzes down to a null Query would throw a NPE. Fixed.
  (David Smiley)
35. SOLR-5039: Admin/Schema Browser displays -1 for term counts for multiValued fields.
36. SOLR-5037: The CSV loader now accepts field names that are not in the schema.
  (gsingers, ehatcher, Steve Rowe)
37. SOLR-4791: solr.xml sharedLib does not work in 4.3.0
  (Ryan Ernst, Jan Høydahl via Erick Erickson)

Release 4.3.1 [2013-06-18]

Versions of Major Components (5)

2. Carrot2 3.6.2
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5
Detailed Change List
Bug Fixes (22)
1. SOLR-4795: Sub shard leader should not accept any updates from parent after it goes active
  (shalin)
2. 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)
3. 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)
4. SOLR-4806: Shard splitting does not abort if WaitForState times out
  (shalin)
5. 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)
6. SOLR-4813: Fix SynonymFilterFactory to allow init parameters for tokenizer factory used when parsing synonyms file.
  (Shingo Sasaki, hossman)
7. 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)
8. SOLR-4751: Fix replication problem of files in sub directory of conf directory.
  (Minoru Osuka via Koji)
9. SOLR-4741: Deleting a collection should set DELETE_DATA_DIR to true.
  (Mark Miller)
10. SOLR-4752: There are some minor bugs in the Collections API parameter validation.
  (Mark Miller)
11. SOLR-4563: RSS DIH-example not working
  (janhoy)
12. SOLR-4796: zkcli.sh should honor JAVA_HOME
  (Roman Shaposhnik via Mark Miller)
13. SOLR-4734: Leader election fails with an NPE if there is no UpdateLog.
  (Mark Miller, Alexander Eibner)
14. SOLR-4868: Setting the log level for the log4j root category results in adding a new category, the empty string.
  (Shawn Heisey)
15. SOLR-4855: DistributedUpdateProcessor doesn't check for peer sync requests
  (shalin)
16. SOLR-4867: Admin UI - setting loglevel on root throws RangeError
  (steffkes)
17. SOLR-4870: RecentUpdates.update() does not increment numUpdates loop counter
  (Alexey Kudinov via shalin)
18. 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)
19. SOLR-4881: Fix DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler to correctly use EmptyEntityResolver to prevent loading of external entities like UpdateRequestHandler does.
  (Hossman, Uwe Schindler)
20. SOLR-4858: SolrCore reloading was broken when the UpdateLog was enabled.
  (Hossman, Anshum Gupta, Alexey Serba, Mark Miller, yonik)
21. SOLR-4853: Fixed SolrJettyTestBase so it may be reused by end users
  (hossman)
22. SOLR-4744: Update failure on sub shard is not propagated to clients by parent shard
  (Anshum Gupta, yonik, shalin)
Other Changes (1)
1. SOLR-4760: Include core name in logs when loading schema.
  (Shawn Heisey)

Release 4.3.0 [2013-05-06]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.3
2. Carrot2 3.6.2
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5
Upgrading from Solr 4.2.0 (3)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 (11)
1. SOLR-4648 PreAnalyzedUpdateProcessorFactory allows using the functionality of PreAnalyzedField with other field types. See javadoc for details and examples.
  (Andrzej Bialecki)
2. 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)
3. 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)
4. 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)
5. 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)
6. SOLR-3755: A new collections api to add additional shards dynamically by splitting existing shards.
  (yonik, Anshum Gupta, shalin)
7. SOLR-4530: DIH: Provide configuration to use Tika's IdentityHtmlMapper
  (Alexandre Rafalovitch via shalin)
8. 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.

  - 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.

  (hossman)
19. SOLR-4661: Admin UI Replication details now correctly displays the current replicable generation/version of the master.
  (hossman)

  (Mark Miller)
18. SOLR-4599: CachingDirectoryFactory calls close(Directory) on forceNew if the Directory has a refCnt of 0, but it should call closeDirectory(CacheValue).

Release 4.1.0 [2013-01-22]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.2
2. Carrot2 3.6.2
3. Velocity 1.7 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.5
Upgrading from Solr 4.0.0 (2)
1. Custom java parsing plugins need to migrate from throwing the internal ParseException to throwing SyntaxError.
2. 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 (35)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-3929: Support configuring IndexWriter max thread count in solrconfig.
  (phunt via Mark Miller)
4. SOLR-3906: Add support for AnalyzingSuggester (LUCENE-3842), where the underlying analyzed form used for suggestions is separate from the returned text.
  (Robert Muir)
5. SOLR-3985: ExternalFileField caches can be reloaded on firstSearcher/ newSearcher events using the ExternalFileFieldReloader
  (Alan Woodward)
6. 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)
7. 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)
8. SOLR-4084: Add FuzzyLookupFactory, which is like AnalyzingSuggester except that it can tolerate typos in the input.
  (Areek Zillur via Robert Muir)
9. SOLR-4088: New and improved auto host detection strategy for SolrCloud.

  (Andy Laird via Mark Miller)
16. 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)
17. 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)
18. SOLR-4028: When using ZK chroot, it would be nice if Solr would create the initial path when it doesn't exist.

21. SOLR-4166: LBHttpSolrServer ignores ResponseParser passed in constructor.
  (Steve Molloy via Mark Miller)
22. SOLR-4140: Allow access to the collections API through CloudSolrServer without referencing an existing collection.
  (Per Steffensen via Mark Miller)
23. SOLR-788: Distributed search support for MLT.
  (Matthew Woytowitz, Mike Anderson, Jamie Johnson, Mark Miller)
24. SOLR-4120: Collection API: Support for specifying a list of Solr addresses to spread a new collection across.
  (Per Steffensen via Mark Miller)
25. SOLR-4110: Configurable Content-Type headers for PHPResponseWriters and PHPSerializedResponseWriter.
  (Dominik Siebel via Mark Miller)
26. 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.
27. 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)
28. 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)
29. 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)
30. SOLR-4271: Add support for PostingsHighlighter.
  (Robert Muir)
31. 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)
32. 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)
33. SOLR-2201: DIH's "formatDate" function now supports a timezone as an optional fourth parameter
  (James Dyer, Mark Waddle)
34. SOLR-4302: New parameter 'indexInfo' (defaults to true) in CoreAdmin STATUS command can be used to omit index specific information
  (Shahar Davidson via shalin)
35. 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!".
```
     {"id" : "customerB!doc1" [...] }
     {"id" : "customerB!doc2" [...] }>
```
  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)

Release 4.0.0 [2012-10-12]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.2
2. Carrot2 3.5.0
3. Velocity 1.6.4 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.3.6
Upgrading from Solr 4.0.0-BETA (2)
1. 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.
2. 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 (2)
1. 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.
2. In addition, please review the notes above about upgrading from 4.0.0-BETA
Upgrading from Solr 3.6 (10)
1. 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.
2. 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)
3. 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.
4. 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"/>
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Two of the SolrServer subclasses in SolrJ were renamed/replaced. CommonsHttpSolrServer is now HttpSolrServer, and StreamingUpdateSolrServer is now ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. In addition, please review the notes above about upgrading from 4.0.0-BETA, and 4.0.0-ALPHA
Detailed Change List
New Features (8)
1. SOLR-3670: New CountFieldValuesUpdateProcessorFactory makes it easy to index the number of values in another field for later use at query time.
  (hossman)
2. SOLR-2768: new "mod(x,y)" function for computing the modulus of two value sources.
  (hossman)
3. SOLR-3238: Numerous small improvements to the Admin UI
  (steffkes)
4. SOLR-3597: seems like a lot of wasted whitespace at the top of the admin screens
  (steffkes)
5. 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)
6. SOLR-3825: Added optional capability to log what ids are in a response
  (Scott Stults via gsingers)
7. SOLR-3821: Added 'df' to the UI Query form
  (steffkes)
8. SOLR-3822: Added hover titles to the edismax params on the UI Query form
  (steffkes)
Optimizations (4)
1. SOLR-3715: improve concurrency of the transaction log by removing synchronization around log record serialization.
  (yonik)
2. 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)
3. 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)

  (Mark Miller)
Bug Fixes (58)

  (Tom Switzer via hossman)
23. 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)
24. SOLR-3823: Fix 'bq' parsing in edismax. Please note that this required reverting the negative boost support added by SOLR-3278
  (hossman)

  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe via hossman)
26. SOLR-3809: Fixed config file replication when subdirectories are used

  (Steffen Moelter via James Dyer)
32. 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)
33. 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)
34. 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)
35. 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)
36. 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)
37. 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)
38. SOLR-3812: ConnectionLoss during recovery can cause lost updates, leading to shard inconsistency.
  (Mark Miller)
39. SOLR-3813: When a new leader syncs, we need to ask all shards to sync back, not just those that are active.

  (Mark Miller)
43. SOLR-3831: Atomic updates do not distribute correctly to other nodes.
  (Jim Musil, Mark Miller)
44. SOLR-3465: Replication causes two searcher warmups.
  (Michael Garski, Mark Miller)
45. SOLR-3645: /terms should default to distrib=false.
  (Nick Cotton, Mark Miller)
46. SOLR-3759: Various fixes to the example-DIH configs
  (Ahmet Arslan, hossman)
47. SOLR-3777: Dataimport-UI does not send unchecked checkboxes
  (Glenn MacStravic via steffkes)
48. SOLR-3850: DataImportHandler "cacheKey" parameter was incorrectly renamed "cachePk"
  (James Dyer)
49. SOLR-3087: Fixed DOMUtil so that code doing attribute validation will automatically ignore nodes in the reserved "xml" prefix - in particular this fixes some bugs related to xinclude and fieldTypes.
  (Amit Nithian, hossman)
50. SOLR-3783: Fixed Pivot Faceting to work with facet.missing=true
  (hossman)
51. SOLR-3869: A PeerSync attempt to its replicas by a candidate leader should not fail on o.a.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException.

  (hossman)
53. SOLR-3878: Exception when using open-ended range query with CurrencyField

  (phunt via Mark Miller)
55. SOLR-3892: Inconsistent locking when accessing cache in CachingDirectoryFactory from RAMDirectoryFactory and MockDirectoryFactory.
  (phunt via Mark Miller)
56. SOLR-3883: Distributed indexing forwards non-applicable request params.
  (Dan Sutton, Per Steffensen, yonik, Mark Miller)

  (Steve Rowe)
10. SOLR-3772: Optionally, on cluster startup, we can wait until we see all registered replicas before running the leader process - or if they all do not come up, N amount of time.
  (Jan Høydahl, Per Steffensen, Mark Miller)
11. SOLR-3750: Optionally, on session expiration, we can explicitly wait some time before running the leader sync process so that we are sure every node participates.
  (Per Steffensen, Mark Miller)
12. SOLR-3824: Velocity: Error messages from search not displayed
  (janhoy)
13. SOLR-3826: Test framework improvements for specifying coreName on initCore

Release 4.0.0-BETA [2012-08-13]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.1
2. Carrot2 3.5.0
3. Velocity 1.6.4 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.3.6
Upgrading from Solr 4.0.0-ALPHA (1)
1. 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 (15)
1. LUCENE-4201: Added JapaneseIterationMarkCharFilterFactory to normalize Japanese iteration marks.
  (Robert Muir, Christian Moen)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-3488: Added a Collection management API for SolrCloud.
  (Tommaso Teofili, Sami Siren, yonik, Mark Miller)
4. 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)
5. 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)
6. SOLR-3562: Add options to remove instance dir or data dir on core unload.
  (Mark Miller, Per Steffensen)
7. 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)
8. SOLR-2616: Include a sample java util logging configuration file.
  (David Smiley, Mark Miller)
9. SOLR-3460: Add cloud-scripts directory and a zkcli.sh|bat tool for easy scripting and interaction with ZooKeeper.
  (Mark Miller)
10. 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)
11. 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)
12. 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)
13. 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)
14. SOLR-1280: Added commented-out example of the new script update processor to the example configuration.
  (ehatcher)
15. SOLR-3672: SimplePostTool: Improvements for posting files Support for auto mode, recursive and wildcards
  (janhoy)
Optimizations (3)
1. SOLR-3708: Add hashCode to ClusterState so that structures built based on the ClusterState can be easily cached.
  (Mark Miller)
2. SOLR-3709: Cache the url list created from the ClusterState in CloudSolrServer on each request.
  (Mark Miller, yonik)
3. SOLR-3710: Change CloudSolrServer so that update requests are only sent to leaders by default.
  (Mark Miller)
Bug Fixes (22)
1. SOLR-3582: Our ZooKeeper watchers respond to session events as if they are change events, creating undesirable side effects.
  (Trym R. Møller, Mark Miller)
2. SOLR-3467: ExtendedDismax escaping is missing several reserved characters
  (Michael Dodsworth via janhoy)
3. SOLR-3587: After reloading a SolrCore, the original Analyzer is still used rather than a new one.
  (Alexey Serba, yonik, rmuir, Mark Miller)
4. LUCENE-4185: Fix a bug where CharFilters were wrongly being applied twice.
  (Michael Froh, rmuir)
5. SOLR-3610: After reloading a core, indexing would fail on any newly added fields to the schema.
  (Brent Mills, rmuir)
6. 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)
7. SOLR-3621: Fix rare concurrency issue when opening a new IndexWriter for replication or rollback.
  (Mark Miller)
8. SOLR-1781: Replication index directories not always cleaned up.
  (Markus Jelsma, Terje Sten Bjerkseth, Mark Miller)
9. SOLR-3639: Update ZooKeeper to 3.3.6 for a variety of bug fixes.
  (Mark Miller)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-3642: Correct broken check for multivalued fields in stats.facet
  (Yandong Yao, hossman)
12. SOLR-3660: Velocity: Link to admin page broken
  (janhoy)
13. SOLR-3658: Adding thousands of docs with one UpdateProcessorChain instance can briefly create spikes of threads in the thousands.
  (yonik, Mark Miller)
14. SOLR-3656: A core reload now always uses the same dataDir.
  (Mark Miller, yonik)
15. 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)
16. 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)
17. SOLR-3623: Fixed inconsistent treatment of third-party dependencies for solr contribs analysis-extras & uima
  (hossman)
18. 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)
19. SOLR-3648: Fixed VelocityResponseWriter template loading in SolrCloud mode. For the example configuration, this means /browse now works with SolrCloud.
  (janhoy, ehatcher)
20. SOLR-3677: Fixed misleading error message in web ui to distinguish between no SolrCores loaded vs. no /admin/ handler available.
  (hossman, steffkes)
21. SOLR-3428: SolrCmdDistributor flushAdds/flushDeletes can cause repeated adds/deletes to be sent
  (Mark Miller, Per Steffensen)
22. 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 (14)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-1770: Move the default core instance directory into a collection1 folder.
  (Mark Miller)
3. SOLR-3355: Add shard and collection to SolrCore statistics.
  (Michael Garski, Mark Miller)
4. SOLR-3575: solr.xml should default to persist=true
  (Mark Miller)
5. 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)
6. 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)
7. SOLR-3609: Change Solr's expanded webapp directory to be at a consistent path called solr-webapp rather than a temporary directory.
  (Mark Miller)
8. SOLR-3600: Raise the default zkClientTimeout from 10 seconds to 15 seconds.
  (Mark Miller)
9. SOLR-3215: Clone SolrInputDocument when distrib indexing so that update processors after the distrib update process do not process the document twice.
  (Mark Miller)
10. SOLR-3683: Improved error handling if an <analyzer> contains both an explicit class attribute, as well as nested factories.
  (hossman)
11. SOLR-3682: Fail to parse schema.xml if uniqueKeyField is multivalued
  (hossman)
12. 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)
13. 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)
14. SOLR-3579: SolrCloud view should default to the graph view rather than tree view.
  (steffkes, Mark Miller)

Release 4.0.0-ALPHA [2012-07-03]

More information about this release, including any errata related to the release notes, upgrade instructions, or other changes may be found online at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Solr4.0
Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Tika 1.1
2. Carrot2 3.5.0
3. Velocity 1.6.4 and Velocity Tools 2.0
4. Apache UIMA 2.3.1
5. Apache ZooKeeper 3.3.4
Upgrading from Solr 3.6-dev (9)
1. 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.
2. 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)
3. 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.
4. 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"/>
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Two of the SolrServer subclasses in SolrJ were renamed/replaced. CommonsHttpSolrServer is now HttpSolrServer, and StreamingUpdateSolrServer is now ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer.
8. 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.
9. 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.

  - SOLR-2037: Thanks to SOLR-1566, documents boosted by the QueryElevationComponent can be marked as boosted.
    (gsingers, ryan, yonik)

  (rmuir)
11. SOLR-2338: Add support for using <similarity/> in a schema's fieldType, for customizing scoring on a per-field basis.
  (hossman, yonik, rmuir)
12. SOLR-2335: New 'field("...")' function syntax for referring to complex field names (containing whitespace or special characters) in functions.
13. SOLR-2383: /browse improvements: generalize range and date facet display
  (Jan Høydahl via yonik)
14. 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)
15. 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)
16. 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)
17. 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)
18. 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)
19. SOLR-705: Optionally return shard info with each document in distributed search. Use fl=id,[shard] to return the shard url.
  (ryan)
20. SOLR-2417: Add explain info directly to return documents using ?fl=id,[explain]
  (ryan)
21. 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).
22. 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)
23. SOLR-2399: Updated Solr Admin interface. New look and feel with per core administration and many new options.
  (Stefan Matheis via ryan)
24. SOLR-1032: CSV handler now supports "literal.field_name=value" parameters.
  (Simon Rosenthal, ehatcher)
25. 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)
26. SOLR-2703: Added support for Lucene's "surround" query parser.
  (Simon Rosenthal, ehatcher)
27. 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)
28. SOLR-2134 Trie* fields should support sortMissingLast=true, and deprecate Sortable* Field Types
  (Ryan McKinley, Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Erick Erickson)
29. 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)
30. SOLR-2481: Add support for commitWithin in DataImportHandler
  (Sami Siren via yonik)
31. SOLR-2992: Add support for IndexWriter.prepareCommit() via prepareCommit=true on update URLs.
  (yonik)
32. SOLR-2906: Added LFU cache options to Solr.
  (Shawn Heisey via Erick Erickson)
33. SOLR-3069: Ability to add openSearcher=false to not open a searcher when doing a hard commit. commitWithin now only invokes a softCommit.
  (yonik)
34. 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)
35. SOLR-3120: Optional post filtering for spatial queries bbox and geofilt for LatLonType.
  (yonik)
36. SOLR-2459: Expose LogLevel selection with a RequestHandler rather then servlet
  (Stefan Matheis, Upayavira, ryan)
37. SOLR-3134: Include shard info in distributed response when shards.info=true
  (Russell Black, ryan)
38. 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)
39. SOLR-2949: QueryElevationComponent is now supported with distributed search.
  (Mark Miller, yonik)
40. 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)
41. SOLR-3278: Negative boost support to the Extended Dismax Query Parser Boost Query (bq).
  (James Dyer)
42. SOLR-3255: OpenExchangeRates.Org Exchange Rate Provider for CurrencyField
  (janhoy)
43. SOLR-3358: Logging events are captured and available from the /admin/logging request handler.
  (ryan)
44. 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)
45. SOLR-3363: Consolidated Exceptions in Analysis Factories so they only throw InitializationExceptions
  (Chris Male)
46. 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)
47. 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)
48. 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)
49. 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)
50. 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)
51. 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)
52. 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)
53. 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)
54. 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)
55. 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)
56. 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)
57. 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)
58. SOLR-3351: eDismax: ps2 and ps3 params
  (janhoy)
59. SOLR-3542: Add WeightedFragListBuilder for FVH and set it to default fragListBuilder in example solrconfig.xml.
  (Sebastian Lutze, koji)
60. 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 (5)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-1904: When facet.enum.cache.minDf > 0 and the base doc set is a SortedIntSet, convert to HashDocSet for better performance.
  (yonik)
3. 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)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-2950: The QueryElevationComponent now avoids using the FieldCache and looking up every document id
  (gsingers, yonik)
Bug Fixes (41)
1. SOLR-3139: Make ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer send UpdateRequest.getParams() as HTTP request params
  (siren)
2. SOLR-3165: Cannot use DIH in Solrcloud + Zookeeper
  (Alexey Serba, Mark Miller, siren)
3. SOLR-3068: Occasional NPE in ThreadDumpHandler
  (siren)
4. SOLR-2762: FSTLookup could return duplicate results or one results less than requested.
  (David Smiley, Dawid Weiss)
5. SOLR-2741: Bugs in facet range display in trunk
  (janhoy)
6. 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)
7. SOLR-1824: IndexSchema will now fail to initialize if there is a problem initializing one of the fields or field types.
  (hossman)
8. SOLR-1928: TermsComponent didn't correctly break ties for non-text fields sorted by count.
  (yonik)
9. SOLR-2107: MoreLikeThisHandler doesn't work with alternate qparsers.
  (yonik)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-1962: SolrCore#initIndex should not use a mix of indexPath and newIndexPath
  (Mark Miller)
12. SOLR-2275: fix DisMax 'mm' parsing to be tolerant of whitespace
  (Erick Erickson via hossman)
13. 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)
14. 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)
15. SOLR-2654: Directorys used by a SolrCore are now closed when they are no longer used.
  (Mark Miller)
16. 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)
17. SOLR-2829: Fix problem with false-positives due to incorrect equals methods.
  (Yonik Seeley, Hossman, Erick Erickson. Marc Tinnemeyer caught the bug)
18. 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)
19. 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)
20. SOLR-1730: Made it clearer when a core failed to load as well as better logging when the QueryElevationComponent fails to properly initialize
  (gsingers)
21. SOLR-1520: QueryElevationComponent now supports non-string ids
  (gsingers)
22. SOLR-3037: When using binary format in solrj the codec screws up parameters
  (Sami Siren, Jörg Maier via yonik)
23. 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)
24. 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)
25. SOLR-3352: eDismax: pf2 should kick in for a query with 2 terms
  (janhoy)
26. SOLR-3361: ReplicationHandler "maxNumberOfBackups" doesn't work if backups are triggered on commit
  (James Dyer, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
27. 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)
28. SOLR-3370: fixed CSVResponseWriter to respect globs in the 'fl' param
  (Keith Fligg via hossman)
29. SOLR-3436: Group count incorrect when not all shards are queried in the second pass.
  (Francois Perron, Martijn van Groningen)
30. SOLR-3454: Exception when using result grouping with main=true and using wt=javabin.
  (Ludovic Boutros, Martijn van Groningen)
31. SOLR-3446: Better errors when PatternTokenizerFactory is configured with an invalid pattern, and include the 'name' whenever possible in plugin init error messages.
  (hossman)
32. LUCENE-4075: Cleaner path usage in TestXPathEntityProcessor
  (Greg Bowyer via hossman)
33. SOLR-2923: IllegalArgumentException when using useFilterForSortedQuery on an empty index.
  (Adrien Grand via Mark Miller)
34. SOLR-2352: Fixed TermVectorComponent so that it will not fail if the fl param contains globs or pseudo-fields
  (hossman)
35. SOLR-3541: add missing solrj dependencies to binary packages.
  (Thijs Vonk via siren)
36. SOLR-3522: fixed parsing of the 'literal()' function
  (hossman)
37. 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)
38. SOLR-3470: contrib/clustering: custom Carrot2 tokenizer and stemmer factories are respected now
  (Stanislaw Osinski, Dawid Weiss)
39. 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)
40. SOLR-1958: When using the MailEntityProcessor, import would fail if fetchMailsSince was not specified.
  (Max Lynch via James Dyer)
41. SOLR-4289: Admin UI - JVM memory bar - dark grey "used" width is too small
  (steffkes, elyograg)
Other Changes (48)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-1946: Misc improvements to the SystemInfoHandler: /admin/system
  (hossman)
4. SOLR-2289: Tweak spatial coords for example docs so they are a bit more spread out
  (Erick Erickson via hossman)
5. SOLR-2288: Small tweaks to eliminate compiler warnings. primarily using Generics where applicable in method/object declarations, and adding @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") when appropriate
  (hossman)
6. 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)
7. 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)
8. SOLR-2423: FieldType argument changed from String to Object Conversion from SolrInputDocument > Object > Fieldable is now managed by FieldType rather then DocumentBuilder.
  (ryan)
9. SOLR-2461: QuerySenderListener and AbstractSolrEventListener are now public
  (hossman)
10. LUCENE-2995: Moved some spellchecker and suggest APIs to modules/suggest: HighFrequencyDictionary, SortedIterator, TermFreqIterator, and the suggester APIs and implementations.
  (rmuir)
11. SOLR-2576: Remove deprecated SpellingResult.add(Token, int).
  (James Dyer via rmuir)
12. LUCENE-3232: Moved MutableValue classes to new 'common' module.
  (Chris Male)
13. 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.
14. SOLR-2027: FacetField.getValues() now returns an empty list if there are no values, instead of null
  (Chris Male)
15. SOLR-1825: SolrQuery.addFacetQuery now enables facets automatically, like addFacetField
  (Chris Male)
16. SOLR-2663: FieldTypePluginLoader has been refactored out of IndexSchema and made public.

18. SOLR-2698: Enhance CoreAdmin STATUS command to return index size.
  (Yury Kats, hossman, Mark Miller)
19. 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)
20. LUCENE-3286: 'luke' ant target has been disabled due to incompatibilities with XML queryparser location
  (Chris Male)
21. 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)
22. SOLR-2756: Maven configuration: Excluded transitive stax:stax-api dependency from org.codehaus.woodstox:wstx-asl dependency.
  (David Smiley via Steve Rowe)
23. SOLR-2588: Moved VelocityResponseWriter back to contrib module in order to remove it as a mandatory core dependency.
  (ehatcher)
24. SOLR-2862: More explicit lexical resources location logged if Carrot2 clustering extension is used. Fixed solr. impl. of IResource and IResourceLookup.
  (Dawid Weiss)
25. 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)
26. SOLR-2607: Removed deprecated client/ruby directory, which included solr-ruby and flare.
  (ehatcher)
27. 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)
28. SOLR-2105: Remove support for deprecated "update.processor" (since 3.2), in favor of "update.chain"
  (janhoy)
29. SOLR-3005: Default QueryResponseWriters are now initialized via init() with an empty NamedList.
  (Gasol Wu, Chris Male)
30. SOLR-2607: Removed obsolete client/ folder
  (ehatcher, Eric Pugh, janhoy)
31. SOLR-3202, SOLR-3244: Dropping Support for JSP. New Admin UI is all client side
  (ryan, Aliaksandr Zhuhrou, Uwe Schindler)
32. SOLR-3159: Upgrade example and tests to run with Jetty 8
  (ryan)
33. SOLR-3254: Upgrade Solr to Tika 1.1
  (janhoy)
34. SOLR-3329: Dropped getSourceID() from SolrInfoMBean and using getClass().getPackage().getSpecificationVersion() for Version.
  (ryan)
35. SOLR-3302: Upgraded SLF4j to version 1.6.4
  (hossman)
36. SOLR-3322: Add more context to IndexReaderFactory.newReader
  (ab)
37. SOLR-3343: Moved FastWriter, FileUtils, RegexFileFilter, RTimer and SystemIdResolver from org.apache.solr.common to org.apache.solr.util
  (Chris Male)
38. SOLR-3357: ResourceLoader.newInstance now accepts a Class representation of the expected instance type
  (Chris Male)
39. SOLR-3388: HTTP caching is now disabled by default for RequestUpdateHandlers.
  (ryan)
40. 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)
41. SOLR-1893: Refactored some common code from LRUCache and FastLRUCache into SolrCacheBase
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe via hossman)
42. SOLR-3403: Deprecated Analysis Factories now log their own deprecation messages. No logging support is provided by Factory parent classes.
  (Chris Male)
43. 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)
44. SOLR-3083: JMX beans now report Numbers as numeric values rather then String
  (Tagged Siteops, Greg Bowyer via ryan)
45. 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.
46. 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)
47. SOLR-3262: The "threads" feature of DIH is removed (deprecated in Solr 3.6)
  (James Dyer)
48. SOLR-3422: Refactored DIH internal data classes. All entities in data-config.xml must have a name
  (James Dyer)

Release 3.6.0 [2012-04-12]

More information about this release, including any errata related to the release notes, upgrade instructions, or other changes may be found online at: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solr3.6
Upgrading from Solr 3.5 (9)
1. 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.
2. As doGet() methods in SimplePostTool was changed to static, the client applications of this class need to be recompiled.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. SOLR-3040: The DIH's admin UI (dataimport.jsp) now requires DIH request handlers to start with a '/'.
  (dsmiley)
6. 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)
7. 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.
8. 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)
9. 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 (31)
1. SOLR-2020: Add Java client that uses Apache Http Components http client (4.x).
  (Chantal Ackermann, Ryan McKinley, Yonik Seeley, siren)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-2904: BinaryUpdateRequestHandler should be able to accept multiple update requests from a stream
  (shalin)
4. SOLR-1565: StreamingUpdateSolrServer supports RequestWriter API and therefore, javabin update format
  (shalin)
5. 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)
6. SOLR-2919: Added support for localized range queries when the analysis chain uses CollationKeyFilter or ICUCollationKeyFilter.
  (Michael Sokolov, rmuir)
7. SOLR-2982: Added BeiderMorseFilterFactory for Beider-Morse (BMPM) phonetic encoder. Upgrades commons-codec to version 1.6
  (Brooke Schreier Ganz, rmuir)
8. 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)
9. SOLR-2906: Added LFU cache options to Solr.
  (Shawn Heisey via Erick Erickson)
10. SOLR-3036: Ability to specify overwrite=false on the URL for XML updates.
  (Sami Siren via yonik)
11. SOLR-2603: Add the encoding function for alternate fields in highlighting.
  (Massimo Schiavon, koji)
12. 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)
13. SOLR-1709: Distributed support for Date and Numeric Range Faceting
  (Peter Sturge, David Smiley, hossman, Simon Willnauer)
14. SOLR-3054, LUCENE-3671: Add TypeTokenFilterFactory that creates TypeTokenFilter that filters tokens based on their TypeAttribute.
  (Tommaso Teofili via Uwe Schindler)
15. 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)
16. SOLR-1860: StopFilterFactory, CommonGramsFilterFactory, and CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory can optionally read stopwords in Snowball format (specify format="snowball").
  (Robert Muir)
17. SOLR-3105: ElisionFilterFactory optionally allows the parameter ignoreCase (default=false).
  (Robert Muir)
18. LUCENE-3714: Add WFSTLookupFactory, a suggester that uses a weighted FST for more fine-grained suggestions.
  (Mike McCandless, Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
19. SOLR-3143: Add SuggestQueryConverter, a QueryConverter intended for auto-suggesters.
  (Robert Muir)
20. 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)
21. SOLR-2202: Currency FieldType, whith support for currencies and exchange rates
  (Greg Fodor & Andrew Morrison via janhoy, rmuir, Uwe Schindler)
22. SOLR-3026: eDismax: Locking down which fields can be explicitly queried (user fields aka uf)
  (janhoy, hossmann, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
23. SOLR-2826: URLClassify Update Processor
  (janhoy)
24. SOLR-2764: Create a NorwegianLightStemmer and NorwegianMinimalStemmer
  (janhoy)
25. 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)
26. 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)
27. 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)
28. 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)
29. 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)
30. 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)
31. 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 (3)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. 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 (43)
1. SOLR-3187 SystemInfoHandler leaks filehandles
  (siren)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-3068: Fixed NPE in ThreadDumpHandler
  (siren)
4. SOLR-2912: Fixed File descriptor leak in ShowFileRequestHandler
  (Michael Ryan, shalin)
5. SOLR-2819: Improved speed of parsing hex entities in HTMLStripCharFilter
  (Bernhard Berger, hossman)
6. 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)
7. SOLR-2955: Fixed IllegalStateException when querying with group.sort=score desc in sharded environment.
  (Steffen Elberg Godskesen, Martijn van Groningen)
8. SOLR-2956: Fixed inconsistencies in the flags (and flag key) reported by the LukeRequestHandler
  (hossman)
9. SOLR-1730: Made it clearer when a core failed to load as well as better logging when the QueryElevationComponent fails to properly initialize
  (gsingers)
10. SOLR-1520: QueryElevationComponent now supports non-string ids
  (gsingers)
11. SOLR-3024: Fixed JSONTestUtil.matchObj, in previous releases it was not respecting the 'delta' arg
  (David Smiley via hossman)
12. SOLR-2542: Fixed DIH Context variables which were broken for all scopes other then SCOPE_ENTITY
  (Linbin Chen & Frank Wesemann via hossman)
13. SOLR-3042: Fixed Maven Jetty plugin configuration.
  (David Smiley via Steve Rowe)
14. SOLR-2970: CSV ResponseWriter returns fields defined as stored=false in schema
  (janhoy)
15. 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 "'" 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)
16. 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)
17. SOLR-2280: commitWithin ignored for a delete query
  (Juan Grande via janhoy)
18. 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)
19. SOLR-3084: Fixed initialization error when using <queryResponseWriter default="true" ... />
  (Bernd Fehling and hossman)
20. SOLR-3109: Fixed numerous redundant shard requests when using distributed grouping.
  (rblack via Martijn van Groningen)
21. SOLR-3052: Fixed typo in distributed grouping parameters.
  (Martijn van Groningen, Grant Ingersoll)
22. SOLR-2909: Add support for ResourceLoaderAware tokenizerFactories in synonym filter factories.
  (Tom Klonikowski, Jun Ohtani via Koji Sekiguchi)
23. SOLR-3168: ReplicationHandler "numberToKeep" & "maxNumberOfBackups" parameters would keep only 1 backup, even if more than 1 was specified
  (Neil Hooey, James Dyer)
24. SOLR-3009: hitGrouped.vm isn't shipped with 3.x
  (ehatcher, janhoy)
25. SOLR-3195: timeAllowed is ignored for grouping queries
  (Russell Black via Martijn van Groningen)
26. SOLR-2124: Do not log stack traces for "Service Disabled" / 503 Exceptions (PingRequestHandler, etc)
  (James Dyer, others)
27. SOLR-3260: DataImportHandler: ScriptTransformer gives better error messages when problems arise on initialization (no Script Engine, invalid script, etc).
  (James Dyer)
28. SOLR-2959: edismax now respects the magic fields '_val_' and '_query_'
  (Michael Watts, hossman)
29. 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)
30. SOLR-2291: fix JSONWriter to respect field list when writing SolrDocuments
  (Ahmet Arslan via hossman)
31. SOLR-3264: Fix CoreContainer and SolrResourceLoader logging to be more clear about when SolrCores are being created, and stop misleading people about SolrCore instanceDir's being the "Solr Home Dir"
  (hossman)
32. SOLR-3046: Fix whitespace typo in DIH response "Time taken"
  (hossman)
33. SOLR-3261: Fix edismax to respect query operators when literal colons are used in query string.
  (Juan Grande via hossman)
34. SOLR-3226: Fix SignatureUpdateProcessor to no longer ignore non-String field values
  (Spyros Kapnissis, hossman)
35. 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)
36. 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)
37. 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)
38. 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).
39. 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).
40. 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).
41. SOLR-2940: Passing values for custom Carrot2 fields to Clustering component. The custom field mapping are defined using the carrot.custom parameter
  (Stanislaw Osinski).

  (Stanislaw Osinski).
43. SOLR-2942: ClassCastException when passing non-textual fields to clustering component
  (Stanislaw Osinski).

1. SOLR-2922: Upgrade commons-io and commons-lang to 2.1 and 2.6, respectively.
  (koji)
2. SOLR-2920: Refactor frequent conditional use of DefaultSolrParams and AppendedSolrParams into factory methods.
  (David Smiley via hossman)
3. 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)
4. SOLR-2718: Add ability to lazy load response writers, defined with startup="lazy".
  (ehatcher)
5. SOLR-2901: Upgrade Solr to Tika 1.0
  (janhoy)
6. SOLR-3059: Example XSL stylesheet for indexing query result XML
  (janhoy)
7. SOLR-3097, SOLR-3105: Add analysis configurations for different languages to the example.
  (Christian Moen, Robert Muir)
8. SOLR-3005: Default QueryResponseWriters are now initialized via init() with an empty NamedList.
  (Gasol Wu, Chris Male)
9. 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)
10. SOLR-3077: Better error messages when attempting to use "blank" field names
  (Antony Stubbs via hossman)
11. SOLR-2712: expecting fl=score to return all fields is now deprecated. In solr 4.0, this will only return the score.
  (ryan)
12. 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)
13. 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)
14. 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)
15. 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)
16. 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 (5)
1. SOLR-2487: Add build target to package war without slf4j jars
  (janhoy)
2. SOLR-3112: Fix tests not to write to src/test-files
  (Luca Cavanna via Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-3753: Restructure the Solr build system.
  (Steve Rowe)
4. 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)
5. 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)

  (Mark Miller)
7. SOLR-2791: Replication: abortfetch command is broken if replication was started by fetchindex command instead of a regular poll
  (Yury Kats via shalin)

11. SOLR-2849: Fix dependencies in Maven POMs.
  (David Smiley via Steve Rowe)
12. SOLR-2591: Remove commitLockTimeout option from solrconfig.xml
  (Luca Cavanna via Martijn van Groningen)
13. SOLR-2746: Upgraded UIMA dependencies from *-2.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar to *-2.3.1.jar.

Release 3.4.0 [2011-09-15]

Upgrading from Solr 3.3 (3)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. FacetComponent no longer catches and embeds exceptions occurred during facet processing, it throws HTTP 400 or 500 exceptions instead.
New Features (14)
1. SOLR-2540: CommitWithin as an Update Request parameter You can now specify &commitWithin=N (ms) on the update request
  (janhoy)
2. SOLR-2458: post.jar enhanced to handle JSON, CSV and <optimize>
  (janhoy)
3. LUCENE-3234: add a new parameter hl.phraseLimit for FastVectorHighlighter speed up.
  (Mike Sokolov via koji)
4. 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)
5. 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)
6. 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)
7. LUCENE-2048: Added omitPositions to the schema, so you can omit position information while still indexing term frequencies.
  (rmuir)
8. SOLR-2584: add UniqFieldsUpdateProcessor that removes duplicate values in the specified fields.
  (Elmer Garduno, koji)
9. SOLR-2670: Added NIOFSDirectoryFactory
  (yonik)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-2637: Added support for group result parsing in SolrJ.
  (Tao Cheng, Martijn van Groningen)
12. 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)
13. SOLR-2675: CoreAdminHandler now allows arbitrary properties to be specified when CREATEing a new SolrCore using property.* request params.
  (Yury Kats, hossman)
14. SOLR-2714: JSON update format - "null" field values are now dropped instead of causing an exception.
  (Trygve Laugstøl, yonik)
Optimizations (1)
1. LUCENE-3233: Improved memory usage, build time, and performance of SynonymFilterFactory.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
Bug Fixes (24)
1. SOLR-2625: TermVectorComponent throws NPE if TF-IDF option is used without DF option.
  (Daniel Erenrich, Simon Willnauer)
2. SOLR-2631: PingRequestHandler should not allow to ping itself using "qt" param to prevent infinite loop.
  (Edoardo Tosca, Uwe Schindler)
3. SOLR-2636: Fix explain functionality for negative queries.
  (Tom Hill via yonik)
4. SOLR-2538: Range Faceting on long/double fields could overflow if values bigger then the max int/float were used.
  (Erbi Hanka, hossman)
5. SOLR-2230: CommonsHttpSolrServer.addFile could not be used to send multiple files in a single request.
  (Stephan Günther, hossman)
6. SOLR-2541: PluginInfos was not correctly parsing <long/> tags when initializing plugins
  (Frank Wesemann, hossman)
7. SOLR-2623: Solr JMX MBeans do not survive core reloads
  (Alexey Serba, shalin)
8. 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)
9. SOLR-2564: Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when using simple format and start > 0
  (Martijn van Groningen, Matteo Melli)
10. SOLR-2642: Fixed sorting by function when using grouping.
  (Thomas Heigl, Martijn van Groningen)
11. 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)
12. 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)
13. 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)
14. SOLR-2669: Fix backwards validation of field properties in SchemaField.calcProps
  (hossman)
15. 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)
16. SOLR-2606: Fixed sort parsing of fields containing punctuation that failed due to sort by function changes introduced in SOLR-1297
  (Mitsu Hadeishi, hossman)
17. SOLR-2706: contrib/clustering: The carrot.lexicalResourcesDir parameter now works with absolute directories
  (Stanislaw Osinski)
18. SOLR-2692: contrib/clustering: Typo in param name fixed: "carrot.fragzise" changed to "carrot.fragSize"
  (Stanislaw Osinski).
19. SOLR-2644: When using DIH with threads=2 the default logging is set too high
  (Bill Bell via shalin)
20. SOLR-2492: DIH does not commit if only deletes are processed
  (James Dyer via shalin)
21. SOLR-2186: DataImportHandler's multi-threaded option throws NPE
  (Lance Norskog, Frank Wesemann, shalin)
22. SOLR-2655: DIH multi threaded mode does not resolve attributes correctly
  (Frank Wesemann, shalin)
23. SOLR-2695: DIH: Documents are collected in unsynchronized list in multi-threaded debug mode
  (Michael McCandless, shalin)
24. SOLR-2668: DIH multithreaded mode does not rollback on errors from EntityProcessor
  (Frank Wesemann, shalin)
Other Changes (2)
1. SOLR-2629: Eliminate deprecation warnings in some JSPs.
  (Bernd Fehling, hossman)
2. SOLR-2743: Remove commons logging from contrib/extraction.
  (koji)
Build (2)
1. 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)
2. 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 (none)

Release 3.3.0 [2011-07-10]

Upgrading from Solr 3.2.0 (1)
1. 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 (7)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. 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)
4. SOLR-1331 -- Added a srcCore parameter to CoreAdminHandler's mergeindexes action to merge one or more cores' indexes to a target core
  (shalin)
5. SOLR-2610 -- Add an option to delete index through CoreAdmin UNLOAD action
  (shalin)
6. SOLR-2480: Add ignoreTikaException flag to the extraction request handler so that users can ignore TikaException but index meta data.
  (Shinichiro Abe, koji)
7. SOLR-2582: Use uniqueKey for error log in UIMAUpdateRequestProcessor.
  (Tommaso Teofili via koji)
Optimizations (1)
1. SOLR-2567: Solr now defaults to TieredMergePolicy. See http://s.apache.org/merging for more information.
  (rmuir)
Bug Fixes (5)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-2579: UIMAUpdateRequestProcessor ignore error fails if text.length() < 100.
  (Elmer Garduno via koji)
4. SOLR-2581: UIMAToSolrMapper wrongly instantiates Type with reflection.
  (Tommaso Teofili via koji)
5. 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 (5)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-2576: Deprecate SpellingResult.add(Token token, int docFreq), please use SpellingResult.addFrequency(Token token, int docFreq) instead.
  (James Dyer via rmuir)
3. SOLR-2574: Upgrade slf4j to v1.6.1
  (shalin)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-2611: Fix typos in the example configuration
  (Eric Pugh via rmuir)

Release 3.2.0 [2011-06-03]

Versions of Major Components (3)
1. Apache Lucene trunk
2. Apache Tika 0.8
3. Carrot2 3.4.2
Upgrading from Solr 3.1 (2)
1. The updateRequestProcessorChain for a RequestHandler is now defined with update.chain rather than update.processor. The latter still works, but has been deprecated.
2. <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 (6)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-1915: DebugComponent now supports using a NamedList to model Explanation objects in its responses instead of Explanation.toString
  (hossman)
4. 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).
5. SOLR-2503: extend UIMAUpdateRequestProcessorFactory mapping function to map feature value to dynamicField.
  (koji)
6. SOLR-2512: add ignoreErrors flag to UIMAUpdateRequestProcessorFactory so that users can ignore exceptions in AE.
  (Tommaso Teofili, koji)
Optimizations (none)
Bug Fixes (17)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-2455: Prevent double submit of forms in admin interface.
  (Jeffrey Chang via uschindler)
3. 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)
4. SOLR-2469: When using java replication with replicateAfter=startup, the first commit point on server startup is never removed.
  (yonik)
5. 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)
6. 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)
7. 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)
8. SOLR-2333: The "rename" core admin action does not persist the new name to solr.xml
  (Rasmus Hahn, Paul R. Brown via Mark Miller)
9. SOLR-2390: Performance of usePhraseHighlighter is terrible on very large Documents, regardless of hl.maxDocCharsToAnalyze.
  (Mark Miller)
10. 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)
11. SOLR-2467: Fix <analyzer class="..." /> initialization so any errors are logged properly.
  (hossman)
12. SOLR-2493: SolrQueryParser was fixed to not parse the SolrConfig DOM tree on each instantiation which is a huge slowdown.
  (Stephane Bailliez via uschindler)
13. 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)
14. 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)
15. 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)
16. SOLR-2539: VectorValueSource.floatVal incorrectly used byteVal on sub-sources.
  (Tom Liu via yonik)
17. SOLR-2554: RandomSortField didn't work when used in a function query.
  (yonik)
Other Changes (7)
1. 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)
2. SOLR-2105: Rename RequestHandler param 'update.processor' to 'update.chain'.
  (Jan Høydahl via Mark Miller)
3. SOLR-2485: Deprecate BaseResponseWriter, GenericBinaryResponseWriter, and GenericTextResponseWriter. These classes will be removed in 4.0.
  (ryan)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-2528: Remove default="true" from HtmlEncoder in example solrconfig.xml, because html encoding confuses non-ascii users.
  (koji)
6. SOLR-2387: add mock annotators for improved testing in contrib/uima,
  (Tommaso Teofili via rmuir)
7. SOLR-2436: move uimaConfig to under the uima's update processor in solrconfig.xml.

Release 3.1.0 [2011-03-31]

Versions of Major Components (5)
1. Apache Lucene 3.1.0
2. Apache Tika 0.8
3. Carrot2 3.4.2
4. Velocity 1.6.1 and Velocity Tools 2.0-beta3
5. Apache UIMA 2.3.1-SNAPSHOT
Upgrading from Solr 1.4 (13)
1. 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.
2. 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)
3. The experimental ALIAS command has been removed (SOLR-1637)
4. Using solr.xml is recommended for single cores also (SOLR-1621)
5. Old syntax of <highlighting> configuration in solrconfig.xml is deprecated (SOLR-1696)
6. 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)
7. 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.
8. 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)
9. SOLR-1876: All Analyzers and TokenStreams are now final to enforce the decorator pattern.
  (rmuir, uschindler)
10. 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)
11. readercycle script was removed. (SOLR-2046)
12. 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
13. 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 (71)
1. 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)
2. 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)
3. SOLR-1574: Add many new functions from java Math (e.g. sin, cos)
  (yonik)
4. SOLR-1569: Allow functions to take in literal strings by modifying the FunctionQParser and adding LiteralValueSource

  (Gabriele Renzi via shalin)
13. SOLR-1653: Add PatternReplaceCharFilter
  (koji)
14. 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)
15. SOLR-1586: Add support for Geohash and Spatial Tile FieldType
  (Chris Mattmann, gsingers)
16. SOLR-1697: PluginInfo should load plugins w/o class attribute also
  (noble)
17. SOLR-1268: Incorporate FastVectorHighlighter
  (koji)
18. SOLR-1750: SolrInfoMBeanHandler added for simpler programmatic access to info currently available from registry.jsp and stats.jsp
  (ehatcher, hossman)
19. SOLR-1815: SolrJ now preserves the order of facet queries.
  (yonik)
20. SOLR-1677: Add support for choosing the Lucene Version for Lucene components within Solr.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mark Miller)
21. SOLR-1379: Add RAMDirectoryFactory for non-persistent in memory index storage.
  (Alex Baranov via yonik)
22. 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)
23. 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)
24. 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)
25. 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)
26. SOLR-1923: PhoneticFilterFactory now has support for the Caverphone algorithm.
  (rmuir)
27. SOLR-1957: The VelocityResponseWriter contrib moved to core. Example search UI now available at http://localhost:8983/solr/browse
  (ehatcher)

31. SOLR-1985: FastVectorHighlighter: add wrapper class for Lucene's SingleFragListBuilder
  (koji)
32. SOLR-1984: Add HyphenationCompoundWordTokenFilterFactory.
  (PB via rmuir)
33. 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.
34. SOLR-945: JSON update handler that accepts add, delete, commit commands in JSON format.
  (Ryan McKinley, yonik)
35. 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)
36. SOLR-1925: Add CSVResponseWriter (use wt=csv) that returns the list of documents in CSV format.
  (Chris Mattmann, yonik)
37. 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)
38. SOLR-2021: Add SolrEncoder plugin to Highlighter.
  (koji)
39. SOLR-2030: Make FastVectorHighlighter use of SolrEncoder.

  (Brandon Evans via koji)
44. SOLR-1316: Create autosuggest component.
  (Ankul Garg, Jason Rutherglen, Shalin Shekhar Mangar, Grant Ingersoll, Robert Muir, ab)
45. 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)
46. SOLR-2128: Full parameter substitution for function queries. Example: q=add($v1,$v2)&v1=mul(popularity,5)&v2=20.0
  (yonik)
47. 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)
48. SOLR-2157: Suggester should return alpha-sorted results when onlyMorePopular=false
  (ab)
49. SOLR-2010: Added ability to verify that spell checking collations have actual results in the index.
  (James Dyer via gsingers)
50. SOLR-2188: Added "maxTokenLength" argument to the factories for ClassicTokenizer, StandardTokenizer, and UAX29URLEmailTokenizer.
  (Steven Rowe)
51. 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)
52. SOLR-2325: Allow tagging and exclusion of main query for faceting.
  (yonik)

  (Eric Pugh via yonik)
54. SOLR-860: Add debug output for MoreLikeThis.
  (koji)
55. SOLR-1057: Add PathHierarchyTokenizerFactory.
  (ryan, koji)
56. 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)
57. SOLR-2282: Add distributed search support for search result clustering.
  (Brad Giaccio, Dawid Weiss, Stanislaw Osinski, rmuir, koji)

  (rmuir)
59. SOLR-1336: Add SmartChinese (word segmentation for Simplified Chinese) tokenizer and filters to contrib/analysis-extras
  (rmuir)
60. 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)
61. SOLR-2237: Added StempelPolishStemFilterFactory to contrib/analysis-extras
  (rmuir)
62. SOLR-1525: allow DIH to refer to core properties
  (noble)
63. SOLR-1547: DIH TemplateTransformer copy objects more intelligently when the template is a single variable
  (noble)
64. SOLR-1627: DIH VariableResolver should be fetched just in time
  (noble)
65. SOLR-1583: DIH Create DataSources that return InputStream
  (noble)

  (Fuad Efendi and hossman)
2. SOLR-1874: Optimize PatternReplaceFilter for better performance.
  (rmuir, uschindler)
3. 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)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-2046: add common functions to scripts-util.
  (koji)
6. SOLR-1684: Switch clustering component to use the SolrIndexSearcher.doc(int, Set<String>) method b/c it can use the document cache
  (gsingers)
7. SOLR-2200: Improve the performance of DataImportHandler for large delta-import updates.
  (Mark Waddle via rmuir)
Bug Fixes (93)
1. SOLR-1769: Solr 1.4 Replication - Repeater throwing NullPointerException
  (Jörgen Rydenius via noble)
2. SOLR-1432: Make the new ValueSource.getValues(context,reader) delegate to the original ValueSource.getValues(reader) so custom sources will work.
  (yonik)
3. SOLR-1572: FastLRUCache correctly implemented the LRU policy only for the first 2B accesses.
  (yonik)
4. SOLR-1582: copyField was ignored for BinaryField types
  (gsingers)
5. SOLR-1563: Binary fields, including trie-based numeric fields, caused null pointer exceptions in the luke request handler.
  (yonik)
6. 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)
7. SOLR-1584: SolrJ - SolrQuery.setIncludeScore() incorrectly added fl=score to the parameter list instead of appending score to the existing field list.
  (yonik)
8. SOLR-1580: Solr Configuration ignores 'mergeFactor' parameter, always uses Lucene default.
  (Lance Norskog via Mark Miller)
9. 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)
10. 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)
11. 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)
12. 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)
13. SOLR-1601: Schema browser does not indicate presence of charFilter.
  (koji)
14. SOLR-1615: Backslash escaping did not work in quoted strings for local param arguments.

20. SOLR-1660: CapitalizationFilter crashes if you use the maxWordCountOption
  (Robert Muir via shalin)
21. SOLR-1667: PatternTokenizer does not reset attributes such as positionIncrementGap
  (Robert Muir via shalin)
22. 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)
23. SOLR-1748, SOLR-1747, SOLR-1746, SOLR-1745, SOLR-1744: Streams and Readers retrieved from ContentStreams are not closed in various places, resulting in file descriptor leaks.
  (Christoff Brill, Mark Miller)
24. SOLR-1753: StatsComponent throws NPE when getting statistics for facets in distributed search
  (Janne Majaranta via koji)

  (koji)
43. SOLR-1630: Fix spell checking collation issue related to token positions
  (rmuir, gsingers)
44. SOLR-2100: The replication handler backup command didn't save the commit point and hence could fail when a newer commit caused the older commit point to be removed before it was finished being copied. This did not affect normal master/slave replication.
  (Peter Sturge via yonik)
45. SOLR-2114: Fixed parsing error in hsin function. The function signature has changed slightly.
  (gsingers)

  (James Dyer via gsingers)
47. SOLR-2111: Change exception handling in distributed faceting to work more like non-distributed faceting, change facet_counts/exception from a String to a List<String> to enable listing all exceptions that happened, and prevent an exception in one facet command from affecting another facet command.

  (David Smiley via hossman)
50. SOLR-2148: Highlighter doesn't support q.alt.
  (koji)
51. SOLR-2180: It was possible for EmbeddedSolrServer to leave searchers open if a request threw an exception.
  (yonik)

62. SOLR-1283: HTMLStripCharFilter sometimes threw a "Mark Invalid" exception.
  (Julien Coloos, hossman, yonik)
63. SOLR-2085: Improve SolrJ behavior when FacetComponent comes before QueryComponent
  (Tomas Salfischberger via hossman)
64. SOLR-1940: Fix SolrDispatchFilter behavior when Content-Type is unknown
  (Lance Norskog and hossman)
65. SOLR-1983: snappuller fails when modifiedConfFiles is not empty and full copy of index is needed.
  (Alexander Kanarsky via yonik)
66. SOLR-2156: SnapPuller fails to clean Old Index Directories on Full Copy
  (Jayendra Patil via yonik)
67. SOLR-96: Fix XML parsing in XMLUpdateRequestHandler and DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler to respect charset from XML file and only use HTTP header's "Content-Type" as a "hint".
  (uschindler)
68. SOLR-2339: Fix sorting to explicitly generate an error if you attempt to sort on a multiValued field.
  (hossman)
69. SOLR-2348: Fix field types to explicitly generate an error if you attempt to get a ValueSource for a multiValued field.
  (hossman)
70. SOLR-2380: Distributed faceting could miss values when facet.sort=index and when facet.offset was greater than 0.
  (yonik)
71. 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)
72. 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)
73. SOLR-2192: StreamingUpdateSolrServer.blockUntilFinished was not thread safe and could throw an exception.
  (yonik)
74. SOLR-1692: Fix bug in clustering component relating to carrot.produceSummary option
  (gsingers)
75. 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)
76. SOLR-1638: Fixed NullPointerException during DIH import if uniqueKey is not specified in schema
  (Akshay Ukey via shalin)
77. SOLR-1639: Fixed misleading error message when dataimport.properties is not writable

  (Sean Timm via noble)
85. SOLR-1794: Dataimport of CLOB fields fails when getCharacterStream() is defined in a superclass.
  (Gunnar Gauslaa Bergem via rmuir)
86. SOLR-2057: DataImportHandler never calls UpdateRequestProcessor.finish()
  (Drew Farris via koji)
87. SOLR-1973: Empty fields in XML update messages confuse DataImportHandler.
  (koji)
88. 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)
89. SOLR-2310: DIH: getTimeElapsedSince() returns incorrect hour value when the elapse is over 60 hours
  (tom liu via koji)
90. SOLR-2252: DIH: When a child entity in nested entities is rootEntity="true", delta-import doesn't work.
  (koji)
91. SOLR-2330: solrconfig.xml files in example-DIH are broken.
  (Matt Parker, koji)
92. 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)
93. SOLR-2116: Fix TikaConfig classloader bug in TikaEntityProcessor
  (Martijn van Groningen via hossman)

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)
24. SOLR-1851: luceneAutoCommit no longer has any effect - it has been remove
  (Mark Miller)
25. 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.

  (gsingers)
29. 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.

  (Bernd Fehling, uschindler, yonik, rmuir)
37. 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)
38. 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)
39. SOLR-141: Errors and Exceptions are formated by ResponseWriter.
  (Mike Sokolov, Rich Cariens, Daniel Naber, ryan)
40. SOLR-1902: Upgraded to Tika 0.8 and changed deprecated parse call
41. SOLR-1813: Add ICU4j to contrib/extraction libs and add tests for Arabic extraction

Release Date: See http://lucene.apache.org/solr for the official release date.
Upgrading from Solr 1.4 (1)
1. This is a bug fix release - no changes are required when upgrading from Solr 1.4. However, a reindex is needed for some of the analysis fixes to take effect.
Versions of Major Components (3)
1. Apache Lucene 2.9.3
2. Apache Tika 0.4
3. Carrot2 3.1.0
Lucene Information (1)
1. 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_3/, especially http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_3/changes/Changes.html for more information on the version of Lucene used in Solr.
Bug Fixes (26)
1. SOLR-1934: Upgrade to Apache Lucene 2.9.3 to obtain several bug fixes from the previous 2.9.1. See the Lucene 2.9.3 release notes for details.
  (hossman, Mark Miller)
2. SOLR-1432: Make the new ValueSource.getValues(context,reader) delegate to the original ValueSource.getValues(reader) so custom sources will work.
  (yonik)
3. SOLR-1572: FastLRUCache correctly implemented the LRU policy only for the first 2B accesses.
  (yonik)
4. 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)
5. SOLR-1660: CapitalizationFilter crashes if you use the maxWordCountOption
  (Robert Muir via shalin)
6. SOLR-1662: Added Javadocs in BufferedTokenStream and fixed incorrect cloning in TestBufferedTokenStream
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler via shalin)
7. 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 via yonik)
8. SOLR-1748, SOLR-1747, SOLR-1746, SOLR-1745, SOLR-1744: Streams and Readers retrieved from ContentStreams are not closed in various places, resulting in file descriptor leaks.
  (Christoff Brill, Mark Miller)
9. SOLR-1580: Solr Configuration ignores 'mergeFactor' parameter, always uses Lucene default.
  (Lance Norskog via Mark Miller)
10. SOLR-1777: fieldTypes with sortMissingLast=true or sortMissingFirst=true can result in incorrectly sorted results.

  (gabriele renzi via hossman)
15. SOLR-1558: QueryElevationComponent only works if the uniqueKey field is 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)
16. SOLR-1563: Binary fields, including trie-based numeric fields, caused null pointer exceptions in the luke request handler.
  (yonik)
17. SOLR-1579: Fixes to XML escaping in stats.jsp

  (noble, hossman)
26. SOLR-1769 Solr 1.4 Replication - Repeater throwing NullPointerException
  (noble)

Release 1.4.0 [2009-11-10]

Release Date: See http://lucene.apache.org/solr for the official release date.
Upgrading from Solr 1.3 (12)
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.)
6. If spellcheck.extendedResults=true, the response format for suggestions has changed, see SOLR-1071.
7. 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
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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 (3)
1. Apache Lucene 2.9.1 (r832363 on 2.9 branch)
2. Apache Tika 0.4
3. Carrot2 3.1.0
Lucene Information (1)
1. 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 (124)
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
  (Noble Paul, Akshay Ukey via shalin)
4. SOLR-793: Add 'commitWithin' argument to the update add command. This behaves similar to the global autoCommit maxTime argument except that it is set for each request.
  (ryan)
5. SOLR-670: Add support for rollbacks in UpdateHandler. This allows user to rollback all changes since the last commit.
  (Noble Paul, koji via shalin)
6. SOLR-813: Adding DoubleMetaphone Filter and Factory. Similar to the PhoneticFilter, but this uses DoubleMetaphone specific calls (including alternate encoding)
  (Todd Feak via ryan)
7. SOLR-680: Add StatsComponent. This gets simple statistics on matched numeric fields, including: min, max, mean, median, stddev.
  (koji, ryan)
  - SOLR-1380: Added support for multi-valued fields
    (Harish Agarwal via gsingers)

  (gsingers, Vaijanath N. Rao, Noble Paul)
11. SOLR-795: SpellCheckComponent supports building indices on optimize if configured in solrconfig.xml
  (Jason Rennie, shalin)
12. SOLR-667: A LRU cache implementation based upon ConcurrentHashMap and other techniques to reduce contention and synchronization overhead, to utilize multiple CPU cores more effectively.
  (Fuad Efendi, Noble Paul, yonik via shalin)
13. SOLR-465: Add configurable DirectoryProvider so that alternate Directory implementations can be specified via solrconfig.xml. The default DirectoryProvider will use NIOFSDirectory for better concurrency on non Windows platforms.
  (Mark Miller, TJ Laurenzo via yonik)
14. SOLR-822: Add CharFilter so that characters can be filtered (e.g. character normalization) before Tokenizer/TokenFilters.
  (koji)
15. SOLR-829: Allow slaves to request compressed files from master during replication
  (Simon Collins, Noble Paul, Akshay Ukey via shalin)
16. SOLR-877: Added TermsComponent for accessing Lucene's TermEnum capabilities. Useful for auto suggest and possibly distributed search. Not distributed search compliant.
  (gsingers)
  - Added mincount and maxcount options
    (Khee Chin via gsingers)
17. SOLR-538: Add maxChars attribute for copyField function so that the length limit for destination can be specified.
  (Georgios Stamatis, Lars Kotthoff, Chris Harris via koji)
18. SOLR-284: Added support for extracting content from binary documents like MS Word and PDF using Apache Tika. See also contrib/extraction/CHANGES.txt
  (Eric Pugh, Chris Harris, yonik, gsingers)
19. SOLR-819: Added factories for Arabic support
  (gsingers)
20. SOLR-781: Distributed search ability to sort field.facet values lexicographically. facet.sort values "true" and "false" are also deprecated and replaced with "count" and "lex".
  (Lars Kotthoff via yonik)
21. SOLR-821: Add support for replication to copy conf file to slave with a different name. This allows replication of solrconfig.xml
  (Noble Paul, Akshay Ukey via shalin)
22. SOLR-911: Add support for multi-select faceting by allowing filters to be tagged and facet commands to exclude certain filters. This patch also added the ability to change the output key for facets in the response, and optimized distributed faceting refinement by lowering parsing overhead and by making requests and responses smaller.
23. SOLR-876: WordDelimiterFilter now supports a splitOnNumerics option, as well as a list of protected terms.
  (Dan Rosher via hossman)
24. SOLR-928: SolrDocument and SolrInputDocument now implement the Map<String,?> interface. This should make plugging into other standard tools easier.

26. SOLR-540: Add support for globbing in field names to highlight. For example, hl.fl=*_text will highlight all fieldnames ending with _text.
  (Lars Kotthoff via yonik)
27. SOLR-906: Adding a StreamingUpdateSolrServer that writes update commands to an open HTTP connection. If you are using solrj for bulk update requests you should consider switching to this implementaion. However, note that the error handling is not immediate as it is with the standard SolrServer.
  (ryan)
28. SOLR-865: Adding support for document updates in binary format and corresponding support in Solrj client.
  (Noble Paul via shalin)
29. SOLR-763: Add support for Lucene's PositionFilter

  (yonik)
38. SOLR-940: Add support for Lucene's Trie Range Queries by providing new FieldTypes in schema for int, float, long, double and date. Single-valued Trie based fields with a precisionStep will index multiple precisions and enable faster range queries.
  (Uwe Schindler, yonik, shalin)
39. SOLR-1038: Enhance CommonsHttpSolrServer to add docs in batch using an iterator API
  (Noble Paul via shalin)
40. SOLR-844: A SolrServer implementation to front-end multiple solr servers and provides load balancing and failover support

41. SOLR-939: ValueSourceRangeFilter/Query - filter based on values in a FieldCache entry or on any arbitrary function of field values.
  (yonik)
42. SOLR-1095: Fixed performance problem in the StopFilterFactory and simplified code. Added tests as well.
  (gsingers)

  (Jeff Newburn, Noble Paul, shalin)
44. SOLR-1115: <bool>on</bool> and <bool>yes</bool> work as expected in solrconfig.xml.
  (koji)
45. SOLR-1099: A FieldAnalysisRequestHandler which provides the analysis functionality of the web admin page as a service. The AnalysisRequestHandler is renamed to DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler which is enhanced with query analysis and showMatch support. AnalysisRequestHandler is now deprecated. Support for both FieldAnalysisRequestHandler and DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler is also provided in the Solrj client.
  (Uri Boness, shalin)
46. SOLR-1106: Made CoreAdminHandler Actions pluggable so that additional actions may be plugged in or the existing ones can be overridden if needed.
  (Kay Kay, Noble Paul, shalin)
47. SOLR-1124: Add a top() function query that causes its argument to have its values derived from the top level IndexReader, even when invoked from a sub-reader. top() is implicitly used for the ord() and rord() functions.
  (yonik)
48. SOLR-1110: Support sorting on trie fields with Distributed Search.
  (Mark Miller, Uwe Schindler via shalin)
49. SOLR-1121: CoreAdminhandler should not need a core . This makes it possible to start a Solr server w/o a core .(noble)
50. SOLR-769: Added support for clustering in contrib/clustering. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ClusteringComponent for more info.
  (gsingers, Stanislaw Osinski)

  (Michael Ludwig, shalin)
57. SOLR-1189: Support providing username and password for basic HTTP authentication in Java replication
  (Matthew Gregg, shalin)
58. SOLR-243: Add configurable IndexReaderFactory so that alternate IndexReader implementations can be specified via solrconfig.xml. Note that using a custom IndexReader may be incompatible with ReplicationHandler (see comments in SOLR-1366). This should be treated as an experimental feature.
  (Andrzej Bialecki, hossman, Mark Miller, John Wang)
59. SOLR-1214: differentiate between solr home and instanceDir .deprecates the method SolrResourceLoader#locateInstanceDir() and it is renamed to locateSolrHome
  (noble)
60. SOLR-1216 : disambiguate the replication command names. 'snappull' becomes 'fetchindex' 'abortsnappull' becomes 'abortfetch'
  (noble)
61. SOLR-1145: Add capability to specify an infoStream log file for the underlying Lucene IndexWriter in solrconfig.xml. This is an advanced debug log file that can be used to aid developers in fixing IndexWriter bugs. See the commented out example in the example solrconfig.xml under the indexDefaults section.
  (Chris Harris, Mark Miller)
62. SOLR-1256: Show the output of CharFilters in analysis.jsp.

  (Robert Muir via yonik)
64. SOLR-1237: firstSearcher and newSearcher can now be identified via the CommonParams.EVENT (evt) parameter in a request. This allows a RequestHandler or SearchComponent to know when a newSearcher or firstSearcher event happened. QuerySenderListender is the only implementation in Solr that implements this, but outside implementations may wish to. See the AbstractSolrEventListener for a helper method.
  (gsingers)
65. SOLR-1343: Added HTMLStripCharFilter and marked HTMLStripReader, HTMLStripWhitespaceTokenizerFactory and HTMLStripStandardTokenizerFactory deprecated. To strip HTML tags, HTMLStripCharFilter can be used with an arbitrary Tokenizer.

79. SOLR-908 : CommonGramsFilterFactory/CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory for speeding up phrase queries containing common words by indexing n-grams and using them at query time.
  (Tom Burton-West, Jason Rutherglen via yonik)
80. SOLR-1292: Add FieldCache introspection to stats.jsp and JMX Monitoring via a new SolrFieldCacheMBean.

86. SOLR-768: DIH: Set last_index_time variable in full-import command.
  (Wojtek Piaseczny, Noble Paul via shalin)
87. SOLR-811: Allow a "deltaImportQuery" attribute in SqlEntityProcessor which is used for delta imports instead of DataImportHandler manipulating the SQL itself.
  (Noble Paul via shalin)
88. SOLR-842: Better error handling in DataImportHandler with options to abort, skip and continue imports.
  (Noble Paul, shalin)
89. SOLR-833: DIH: A DataSource to read data from a field as a reader. This can be used, for example, to read XMLs residing as CLOBs or BLOBs in databases.
  (Noble Paul via shalin)
90. SOLR-887: A DIH Transformer to strip HTML tags.
  (Ahmed Hammad via shalin)
91. SOLR-886: DataImportHandler should rollback when an import fails or it is aborted
  (shalin)
92. SOLR-891: A DIH Transformer to read strings from Clob type.

40. SOLR-1233: remove /select?qt=/whatever restriction on /-prefixed request handlers.
  (ehatcher)
41. SOLR-1257: logging.jsp has been removed and now passes through to the hierarchical log level tool added in Solr 1.3. Users still hitting "/admin/logging.jsp" should switch to "/admin/logging".
  (hossman)
42. Upgraded to Lucene 2.9-dev r794238. Other changes include:
  - LUCENE-1614 - Use Lucene's DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS as the sentinel value.
  - LUCENE-1630 - Add acceptsDocsOutOfOrder method to Collector implementations.
  - LUCENE-1673, LUCENE-1701 - Trie has moved to Lucene core and renamed to NumericRangeQuery.
  - LUCENE-1662, LUCENE-1687 - Replace usage of ExtendedFieldCache by FieldCache.
  (shalin)
43. SOLR-1241: Solr's CharFilter has been moved to Lucene. Remove CharFilter and related classes from Solr and use Lucene's corresponding code
  (koji via shalin)
44. SOLR-1261: Lucene trunk renamed RangeQuery & Co to TermRangeQuery
  (Uwe Schindler via shalin)
45. Upgraded to Lucene 2.9-dev r801856
  (Mark Miller)
46. SOLR-1276: Added StatsComponentTest
  (Rafał Kuć, gsingers)
47. 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)
48. SOLR-1410: Log a warning if the deprecated charset option is used on GreekLowerCaseFilterFactory, RussianStemFilterFactory, RussianLowerCaseFilterFactory or RussianLetterTokenizerFactory.
  (Robert Muir via hossman)
49. SOLR-1423: Due to LUCENE-1906, Solr's tokenizer should use Tokenizer.correctOffset() instead of CharStream.correctOffset().
  (Uwe Schindler via koji)
50. 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)
51. SOLR-1357 SolrInputDocument cannot process dynamic fields
  (Lars Grote via noble)
52. SOLR-1075: Upgrade to Tika 0.3. See http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/tika/CHANGES-0.3.txt
  (gsingers)
53. 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)
54. 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)
55. SOLR-964: DIH: XPathEntityProcessor now ignores DTD validations
  (Fergus McMenemie, Noble Paul via shalin)
56. SOLR-1029: DIH: Standardize Evaluator parameter parsing and added helper functions for parsing all evaluator parameters in a standard way.
  (Noble Paul, shalin)
57. SOLR-1081: Change DIH EventListener to be an interface so that components such as an EntityProcessor or a Transformer can act as an event listener.
  (Noble Paul, shalin)
58. SOLR-1027: DIH: Alias the 'dataimporter' namespace to a shorter name 'dih'.
  (Noble Paul via shalin)
59. SOLR-1084: Better error reporting when DIH entity name is a reserved word and data-config.xml root node is not <dataConfig>.
  (Noble Paul via shalin)
60. SOLR-1087: Deprecate 'where' attribute in CachedSqlEntityProcessor in favor of cacheKey and cacheLookup.
  (Noble Paul via shalin)
61. 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)
62. 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)
63. SOLR-1265: Add DIH variable resolving for URLDataSource properties like baseUrl.
  (Chris Eldredge via ehatcher)
64. SOLR-1269: Better error messages from DIH JdbcDataSource when JDBC Driver name or SQL is incorrect.

Release 1.3.0 [2008-09-16]

Upgrading from Solr 1.2 (8)
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 (73)
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)
54. SOLR-423: Added Request Handler close hook notification so that RequestHandlers can be notified when a core is closing.
  (gsingers, ryan)
55. SOLR-603: Added ability to partially optimize.
  (gsingers)
56. SOLR-483: Add byte/short sorting support
  (gsingers)

  (Sean Timm via yonik)
59. SOLR-605: Add the ability to register callbacks programatically
  (ryan, Noble Paul)
60. SOLR-610: hl.maxAnalyzedChars can be -1 to highlight everything
  (Lars Kotthoff via klaas)
61. SOLR-522: Make analysis.jsp show payloads.
  (Tricia Williams via yonik)
62. SOLR-611: Expose sort_values returned by QueryComponent in SolrJ's QueryResponse
  (Dan Rosher via shalin)
63. SOLR-256: Support exposing Solr statistics through JMX
  (Sharad Agrawal, shalin)
64. SOLR-666: Expose warmup time in statistics for SolrIndexSearcher and LRUCache
  (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

  (noble)
73. SOLR-700: DIH: Allow configurable locales through a locale attribute in fields for NumberFormatTransformer.
  (Stefan Oestreicher, shalin)
Changes in runtime behavior (4)
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 (10)
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 (53)
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)
3. SOLR-283: autoCommit was not working after delete.
  (ryan)

7. SOLR-331: Fix WordDelimiterFilter handling of offsets for synonyms or other injected tokens that can break highlighting.
  (yonik)
8. SOLR-282: Snapshooter does not work on Solaris and OS X since the cp command there does not have the -l option. Also updated commit/optimize related 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)

Other Changes (27)
1. SOLR-135: Moved common classes to org.apache.solr.common and altered the build scripts to make two jars: apache-solr-1.3.jar and apache-solr-1.3-common.jar. This common.jar can be used in client code; It does not have lucene or junit dependencies. The original classes have been replaced with a @Deprecated extended class and are scheduled to be removed in a later release. While this change does not affect API compatibility, it is recommended to update references to these deprecated classes.
  (ryan)

  (hossman)
6. SOLR-396: Hooks add to build system for automatic generation of (stub) Tokenizer and TokenFilter Factories. Also: new Factories for all Tokenizers and TokenFilters provided by the lucene-analyzers-2.2.0.jar -- includes support for German, Chinese, Russan, Dutch, Greek, Brazilian, Thai, and French.

  (Spencer Crissman, Craig McClanahan, shalin)

Release 1.2 [2007-06-06]

Upgrading from Solr 1.1 (6)
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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
5. 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.
6. 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 (36)
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 (12)
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 (4)
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 (15)
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 (2)
1. Updated to Lucene 2.1
2. Updated to Lucene 2007-05-20_00-04-53

Release 1.1.0 [2006-12-22]

Status (1)
1. 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 (4)
1. 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.
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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

  (SOLR-11 / yonik, hossman)
15. New RemoveDuplicatesToken - useful in situations where synonyms, stemming, or word-deliminater-ing produce identical tokens at the same position.
  (SOLR-11 / yonik, hossman)
16. Added highlighting to SolrPluginUtils and implemented in StandardRequestHandler and DisMaxRequestHandler
  (SOLR-24 / Mike Klaas via hossman,yonik)
17. SnowballPorterFilterFactory language is configurable via the "language" attribute, with the default being "English".
  (Bertrand Delacretaz via yonik, SOLR-27)
18. ISOLatin1AccentFilterFactory, instantiates ISOLatin1AccentFilter to remove accents.
  (Bertrand Delacretaz via yonik, SOLR-28)
19. JSON, Python, Ruby QueryResponseWriters: use wt="json", "python" or "ruby"
  (yonik, SOLR-31)
20. 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)
21. Made query parser default operator configurable via schema.xml: <solrQueryParser defaultOperator="AND|OR"/> The default operator remains "OR".
22. JAVA API: new version of SolrIndexSearcher.getDocListAndSet() which takes flags
  (Greg Ludington via yonik, SOLR-39)
23. 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)
24. 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)
25. Simple faceted search support for fields (enumerating terms) and arbitrary queries added to both StandardRequestHandler and DisMaxRequestHandler.
  (hossman, SOLR-44)
26. 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)
27. Default operator for query parsing can now be specified with q.op=AND|OR from the client request, overriding the schema value.
  (ehatcher)
28. 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)
29. 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)
30. autoCommit can be specified every so many documents added
  (klaas, SOLR-65)
31. ${solr.home}/lib directory can now be used for specifying "plugin" jars
  (hossman, SOLR-68)
32. Support for "Date Math" relative "NOW" when specifying values of a DateField in a query -- or when adding a document.
  (hossman, SOLR-71)
33. 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 (11)
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 (6)
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 (13)
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)
