Standalone Solo upgrade from 4.x to 8.x

Hi,

Would like to know if it is possible to upgrade standalone solr from 4.x to 8.x

Is there a wiki available. Please let me know.


Thanks,
Rajeswari

If I were you, I would think about this as “a fresh implementation inspired by my old set up”….  So much has changed/evolved/gotten better.  I would start out with a fresh 9.x Setup, and then look at your old setup and compare differences….

In most cases when jumping more than one major version you will have to 
completely reindex from scratch.

You can't upgrade it step-by-step to one major version at a time, 
because starting in one of the 6.x versions, the Lucene version that 
originally wrote each segment is recorded and never gets updated or 
removed.  If a segment has no version or the earliest version recorded 
is less than 7.0, then 8.x will refuse to open it.  9.x is similar for 
anything older than 8.0.

I have seen a tool that bypasses this version check, allowing upgrades 
that Lucene prevents.  Even if you did use that tool and managed to get 
it to work, it's a bad idea, which is why it's explicitly blocked.

Thanks,
Shawn

Thanks for the response. The link only has details from 6.x . Prior to 6.x versions there is no info.
