Change History

5.3.3 (unreleased)

• Added requestParsers-enableRemoteStreaming to allow configuring remote streaming [wengole]
• Update request handler in solrconfig.xml to avoid deprecation warnings for SOLR 4. [mgrbyte]

5.3.2 (2014-08-27)

• Remove dependency on ipdb. [saily]
• Add option to enable updateLog for atomic update usage in SOLR 4.0. This will automatically add a new field _version_ to your schema, see: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaXml#Fields [saily]
• Encode strings written to templated files as UTF-8. This solves issue #29 and allows Unicode characters to be present in templates. [davidjb]
• Remove missing library directory from solrconfig.xml files being generated. [davidjb]
• Fix solrconfig.xml for indexing binary files [giacomos]
• Changed default for remote streaming in solr 4 templates back to false (the solr default) [wengole]

5.3.1 (2013-12-17)

• Added storeOffsetsWithPositions to get PostingsSolrHighlighter working. [jod]

5.3.0 (2013-12-16)

• Minor fix added spellcheckField to wrodbreak in spellchecker. [jod]
• Added extra-conf-files to schema generation. Now we can add extra files to conf folder. [jod]

5.2.1 (2013-10-22)

• Fix formatting for change log and PyPI display [davidjb]

5.2 (2013-10-22)

• Ensure only one dataDir option is generated in solrconfig.xml using the default template. Fixes start-up in Solr 4.5.0. [mitchellrj, pmcnr]

5.1 (2013-09-04)

• Ensure that changing part of a core section will cause Solr configuration to be regenerated. Fixes #24. [davidjb]
• logdir option is now available for logging.properties template. [pmcnr]
• Fix testing for Python 3 and enable Python 3.3 testing for Travis. [davidjb]
• Enable generation of log4j.properties from template (Solr >= 4.3 defaults to using log4j as its SLF4J implementation). [pmcnr]

5.0.1 (2013-06-24)

• Minor reST changes to readme and change log to fix long description. [davidjb]

5.0 (2013-06-24)

• Recreate solr config on buildout update if the directory of the solr-instance was deleted. [mghh]

• New option 'additionalFieldConfig'. This option allows for additional configuration options in <fields>...</fields> section of schema.xml Use this if you have dynamicFields [mghh]

• New option 'directoryFactory'. Use it to define the solr directoryFactory for a Solr instance. [mghh]

• Allow Buildout to be re-run without breaking a running Solr instance. Previously, Solr required a restart to restore removed files. [Jc2k]

• Remove apache- prefix from artifact filenames (jar files) to handle naming changes introduced with Solr 4.1. Versions earlier than 4.1 will see this prefix included within configuration files. [davidjb]

• Ensure Solr 4 templates do not have two autoCommit directives, mirroring how Solr 3 templates operate.

  Backwards incompatibility: if relying on a default autoCommit directive in Solr 4, you must configure the autoCommitMaxDocs and/or autoCommitMaxTime recipe options. A default is no longer provided. [davidjb]

• Python 3 support added. Python < 2.6 support dropped. Dropped dependency on iw.recipe.template as Cheetah does not support Python 3. Replaced with Genshi, as used by collective.recipe.template.

  Backwards incompatibility: custom templates must be converted to Genshi format. [mitchellrj]

4.0.1 (unreleased)

• Added additional-solrconfig-query allowing one to extend the solrconfig.xml query section. [naro]
• Add ability to specify location of pid file. [CheeseTheMonkey]

4.0 (2013-02-15)

• Add ability to control filter, char-filter and tokenizer options for different analyzers (eg query and index analyzers). These options are named like filter-query. [davidjb]
• Add tokenizer option for controlling the tokenizers set for default field type analyzers. [davidjb]
• Solr 4.0 support [silviot]
• Allow comments in index directive [silviot]
• Allow cores to be separated by newlines rather than just spaces. [domruf]
• Add char-filter as an option for setting CharFilterFactories for default field types. [davidjb]

3.8 (2012-08-09)

• Support default-core-name for specifying the name of a core to use for incoming Solr requests that do not specify a core. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin#cores [reinhardt]
• Add ability to add arbitrary configuration to schema.xml using additional-schema-config option. [davidjb]
• Add documentation and tests for copyfield option for indexes to test and clarify that this option is available. [davidjb]

3.7.1 (2012-02-28)

• Fixed package missing files, without a MANIFEST.in we need setuptools-git. [jod]

3.7 (2012-02-28)

• Fixed tests. [jod]
• added option abortOnConfigurationError (makes config error diagnostics a lot easier). [gweis]
• Add support for field options termVectors, termPositions and termOffsets. [gweis]
• Use parts location to find additional jars. [gweis]
• Copy dist and contrib folder for Multicore setup (just like for Singlecore). [gweis]
• Diabled elevate.xml`, solar would fail to work if this is enabled. [gweis]

3.6 (2011-12-07)

• Account for new schema validation in Solr 3.4 related to omitNorms field. [hannosch]

• Added new spellcheckField option, to configure the source field for the spellcheck search component. [hannosch]
• Removed the example tvrh, terms and elevate request handlers. [hannosch]
• Removed the example spell request handler and enabled spell checking based on the default field for the search request handler. [hannosch]
• Clean up solrconfig template and remove an example firstSearcher query. [hannosch]
• Added new mergeFactor, ramBufferSizeMB, unlockOnStartup options. [hannosch]

3.4 (2011-07-09)

• Update generated config files to match and require Solr 3.3. [hannosch]
• Add solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory to the standard text field, to split on intra-word delimiters such as -_:. [hannosch]

3.3 (2011-06-25)

• Increase the requestParsers-multipartUploadLimitInKB default value from 2mb to 100mb to allow the update/extract handler to accept large files. [hannosch]
• Increase Jetty's maxFormContentSize from 1mb to 100mb to allow indexing large files. [hannosch]
• Changed the field definition of the text type to avoid filters specific to the English language and instead use a default filter config that should work with most languages, based on the ICU tokenizer and folding filter. [hannosch]
• Load the analysis-extras libraries, so we can use the ICU-based filters and tokenizers. [hannosch]
• Removed the clustering request handlers from the default config, as they didn't work anyways without us loading the contrib/clustering libraries. [hannosch]
• Enable Tika data extraction and Solr Cell libraries. Data is extracted into a field called tika_content unless specified otherwise in each request via the fmap.content= argument. All extracted fields which aren't in the schema are put into dynamic fields prefixed with tika_. [tom_gross, hannosch]
• Removed the Velocity driven /browse request handler. The example config we generated didn't match the schema. [hannosch]

3.2 (2011-06-23)

• Added a new option stopwords-template which allows you to specify a custom stopwords file. [hannosch]

3.1 (2011-06-06)

• Updated templates to match default found in Solr 3.2. [hannosch]

3.0 (2011-06-04)

• We no longer require elementtree. [hannosch]
• Use the standard libraries doctest module. [hannosch]
• Increase the max-num-results default value from 10 to 500 to avoid restricting search results on this low level. The application layer should be responsible for making such restrictions. [hannosch]

• Added new logging-template option and instruct Jetty to use the logging.properties file. The default logging level is set to WARNING. [hannosch]
• Pass the host option to the Jetty config, so it can be configured to listen only on localhost or a specific IP. [hannosch]
• Disabled Jetty request log. [hannosch]
• Updated jetty.xml template to match new defaults found in the Solr 3.1 release. [hannosch]
• Fixed syntax error introduced around httpCaching directive. [hannosch]

3.0a1 (2011-05-26)

• Updated the solrconfig.xml template to match the template from Solr 3.1. [hannosch]

• Updated the default schema.xml to the Solr 3.1 format. The schema version is now 1.3 instead of 1.2. The schema is no longer compatible with Solr 1.4. Please use a recipe version from the 2.x series for that.

  Changes to the schema include:

  • Fields no longer have a compressed option.
  • The default schema defines three new field types: point, location and geohash useful for geospatial data.

  If you have an older Solr 1.4 index, you should be able to continue using it without a full reindex. [hannosch]

2.1 (2011-04-12)

• Fixed reStructuredText. [jod]

2.0 (2011-04-12)

• Added default to filter attributes. [jod]

• Support for Windows [bluszcz]

1.0 (2010-12-12)

• No changes.

1.0b5 (2010-09-03)

• Actually provide the default value for the cacheSize option. [hannosch]

1.0b4 (2010-08-12)

• Added jetty-template option. [ajung]

1.0b3 (2010-07-23)

• Don't kill solr after script finish when script is just used for starting solr as a daemon [do3cc]

1.0b2 (2010-06-01)

• Actually do something in the update call. Now the configuration is updated when you run buildout again. [fschulze]
• Handle termination signal in the wrapper script, so the solr instance is killed when the wrapper dies. [fschulze]

1.0b1 (2010-05-25)

• Added new autoCommitMaxDocs and autoCommitMaxTime options. [hannnosch]
• logdir option internal bugfix: buildout does not allow None options values (__setitem__). [anguenot]

1.0a7 (2010-05-17)

• Fixed syntax error in new logdir code. [ajung]

1.0a6 (2010-05-17)

• Added logdir option. [ajung]

1.0a5 (2010-05-11)

• Added more options: maxWarmingSearchers, useColdSearcher and cacheSize. [hannosch]

1.0a4 (2010-05-05)

• Added back JMX configuration. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJmx for more details. You can enable it by adding -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote to the java_opts option. [hannosch]

1.0a3 (2010-03-23)

• Added back a field type called integer with the same properties as the int type. This ensures basic schemas created by collective.solr won't need any schema changes, though they still need a full reindex. [hannosch]

1.0a2 (2010-03-22)

• Fixed invalid reStructuredText format in the changelog. [hannosch]

1.0a1 (2010-03-22)

• Replaced the gettableFiles option in the admin section with the new *.admin.ShowFileRequestHandler approach. By default your entire SOLR_HOME/conf except for the scripts.conf is exposed. [hannosch]

• Updated the default schema.xml to the Solr 1.4 format. The schema version is now 1.2 instead of 1.1. The schema is no longer compatible with Solr 1.3. Please use a recipe version from the 0.x series for that.

  Changes to the schema include:

  • The integer field is now called int.
  • New field type attribute omitTermFreqAndPositions introduced. This is true by default except for text fields.
  • New binary and random field types.
  • The int, float, long, double and date fields now use the solr.Trie* classes. These are more efficient in general.
  • New tint, tfloat, tlong, tdouble and tdate fields. These are solr.Trie* fields with a precisionStep configured. You can use them for fields that see a lot of range queries.
  • The old sint, slong, sfloat and sdouble fields are no longer configured.
  • The examples fields text_greek, textTight and alphaOnlySort are no longer configured by default.
  • The text field uses the SnowballPorterFilterFactory with a language of English instead of the EnglishPorterFilterFactory.
  • The ignored field is now multiValued.
  • No dynamic fields are configured by default.

  If you have an older Solr 1.3 configuration, you might need to adjust it to match some of the new defaults. You will also have to do a full reindex of Solr, if the type of any of the fields changed, like with int or date fields. [hannosch]

• Simplify solrconfig.xml and unconfigure example handlers that rely on a specific schema. Other changes include:

  • Indexes are now flushed when the ramBufferSizeMB is exceeded, defaulting to 32mb instead of every 1000 documents. The maxBufferedDocs is deprecated.
  • The new reopenReaders option causes IndexReaders to be reopened instead of closed and then opened.
  • The filterCache uses the solr.FastLRUCache instead of the solr.LRUCache.
  • The queryResultWindowSize defaults to 30 instead of 10.
  • The requestHandler use the new solr.SearchHandler, which supports a defType argument to turn it into a dismax handler, instead of having two separate classes for the two handlers.

  There is a number of new handlers in Solr 1.4, which aren't enabled by default. Read the Solr documentation for the examples. [hannosch]

• Updated jetty.xml and solrconfig.xml to Solr 1.4 defaults. The *.jetty.Request.maxFormContentSize has been set to allow post request of 1mb by default. [hannosch]

• Made the tests pass again, by installing more packages into the test buildout environment. [hannosch]

0.2 (2008-08-08)

• Improved stop command by using SIGTERM instead of SIGHUP. [guido_w]
• Made that stdout and stderr get redirected to a log file when daemonizing the solr instance. [guido_w]
