> As discussed on the dev list, I propose dropping Solr support from jena-text and jena-spatial. Reasons:
> # It is not evident how to run it from the documentation.
> # There are no unit tests specific to Solr so whether it works cannot be easily verified over time.
> # It hasn't gained any of the features added to jena-text in recent years (e.g. multilingual indexing, stored literal values, various special analyzers)
> # The upgrade to Lucene 6 (JENA-1250) would probably break it further (since Solr 4.9.1 that we use depends on Lucene 4.9.1), though due to reasons 1 and 2 above I can't tell.
> # Elasticsearch support for jena-text is being developed by Anuj Kumar, offering the same kind of external text index functionality that the Solr support used to offer.
> # It's not fun to look at (and in effect have to maintain) code that you don't know if anyone is using or whether it's even working at all. I haven't heard from any users of jena-text/Solr in a long time. The [most recent exchange|http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jena.user/3369] I could find on the users list was in 2013, and it ended up unclear of whether the user ever got it working. Okay there was [another thread|http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jena.user/8892] in April/May 2016 where Solr was apparently being used, but the discussion was about other issues.
> I volunteer to do the actual cleaning up if we get agreement on this.
