Advice on moving from 1.3 to 1.4-dev or trunk?
Hello, I'm using solr 1.3 with solr.py. We have a basic schema.xml,
nothing custom or out of the ordinary.
I need the following the feature from ....
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk/CHANGES.txt
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.
Since this requires 1.4, looks like I have to upgrade (or roll my own
solution that this feature provides.)
I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have looked through the bugs here
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR/fixforversion/12313351
1. I would need to get the source for 1.4 and build it, right? No
release yet, eh?
2. Any one using 1.4 in production without issue; is this wise? Or
should I wait?
3. Will I need to make changes to my schema.xml to support my current
field set under 1.4?
4. Do I need to reindex all my data?
thanks

There may be APIs which are introduced after 1.3 release and are not
yet crystallized , may change by the time release happens.
As a rule of thumb any feature in the CHANGES.TXT post 1.3 is possible
to change . But as long as you know what you are using you should be
OK.
It is not quite possible to ensure that everything works perfectly .
but, what you can do is,
what ever features you use , test them thoroughly . If you face issues
report them back

Fwd: Advice on moving from 1.3 to 1.4-dev or trunk?
Posted by "ristretto.rb" <ri...@gmail.com>.
I have built the trunk code as of Revision: 765826 and tried !tag=/!ex=
which is what I need to work. And IT WORKS! That's great.
Now, is it unwise to release 1.4 into production for this feature (based
on my explanation below)?
thanks

your own testing...
If you use a 'nightly' the unit tests all pass.
BUT if you are not running from a standard release, there is may be
things that are not totally flushed out, or configurations that have
not been tried yet. For a release build lots of effort is made to
make sure all lose ends are tied up.

Thanks for the feedback. Will read up on upgrading. I actually went
with the trunk, not a nightly.
When you say Test ... Are you suggesting there is a test suite I
should run, or do just do my own testing?
thanks

Running a nightly is always a risky business. Test comprehensively first.

No, it should be back-compatible.
Also look at the Upgrading from 1.3 section in CHANGES.txt

It should be able to read your existing index. Since it uses a newer version
of Lucene, once you write anything, the index format will change and will no
longer be readable by Solr 1.3
So make sure you upgrade the slaves before the master.
