+1 to Erick's reply on the thread. He covers the topic pretty well.
We have a label that we try to include on all issues that are suitable
for a newcomer to the project. Here's a filtered list of issues with
that label:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20in%20(LUCENE%2C%20SOLR)%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20newdev%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20Reopened)
If my email program or your email program hacks that URL so you have to
reconstruct it instead of clicking on it, I apologize. It's a long one.
Thanks,
Shawn

I have a couple. After a while you get the feel for your own. So, here
is a couple of basic examples:
1.1) I created a saved filter called "All open Solr issues": project =
SOLR AND status in (Open, "In Progress", Reopened)
1.2) I created a dashboard widget with HeatMap type, using that filter
as base and Statistics Type of "Raised in Versions (all)". This gives
me quick links to still open issues originally reported against
specific Solr versions. So, you can start from the oldest and keep
going until you find one you feel comfortable with.
2.1) I created a saved filter for all open issues with attachments
that haven't been touched for a while: project = SOLR AND issuetype =
Bug AND status in (Open, "In Progress", Reopened) AND "Attachment
count" >= "1" AND "Last public comment date" <= -30d
2.2) I created a heatmap widget with that filter and breakdown by "Fix
for versions (all)". This gives me issues that may have patches
(though could be screenshots, etc) that may be worth trying to
reproduce as somebody obviously spent time on them already.
3.1) I created a saved filter for all issues in SOLR (of any status):
project = SOLR
3.2) I created widget with "Two dimensional filter statistics" based
on that filter and Status as XAxis, Components as YAxis, sorted by
total descending. This gives me issues tagged with specific components
and links to their status breakdowns. This allows you to pick an
interesting area and dig in that way.
This is the basic pattern of my operation. I create a filter that
shows the issues I am curious about (think of it as Solr fq filters)
and then I apply various breakdowns to identify most relevant
sub-segments (think of it as facets) within them. And then I actually
do the work (well did when I had more free time).
Good luck,
Alex.

Hi Alexandre,
Thank you for your valuable suggestion, Yes that is definitely a great
starting point. It would very helpful if you can add the link for the old
JIRA issues that you have mentioned.

Re: Starting with Apache Lucene
Posted by Alexandre Rafalovitch <ar...@gmail.com>.
Two things I want to add that I swore were in the guide, but can't
easily see them.
The first is triaging old JIRA issues. It is very valuable to be able
to pick up old JIRA issues (opened against Solr 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 4.x or
even 5.x) and testing them against the latest release to see if the
issue is still present or not. Often, they are no longer relevant,
have been fixed or have not enough details to even figure out what the
issue is. Adding a quick note to Jira for that, would help somebody
else with the privileges to then resolve/close/mark-duplicate on the
issue. And, you will learn a lot in the process of trying to figure
out whether the issue is still present or not. I speak from personal
experience here. If you do choose this path, let me know and I will
share JIRA queries I used to quickly identify potential issues to
review.
Also, testing anything on Windows would be very helpful. Examples,
Readme instructions, shipped extra libraries, etc. Most of the
developers are not using Windows, so that's a bit of a dusty corner.
And dusty corner with strange edge-case bugs around spaces, quotes,
command line parameters and like. And yet again, doing this will give
you cross-cutting understanding of Lucene/Solr, its various components
and how they interact together.
Regards,
Alex.

How would we do that? We have no idea of your skills or interests.
Search through the Lucene JIRAs perhaps and pick something that looks
interesting and/or appeals to you. Here's the JIRA
list:https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/LUCENE/issues/LUCENE-6572?filter=allopenissues

Erick

It would be great if the first project is provided from solr/lucene's end,
because it will help me get a direction and move further and later on

See: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute for both suggestions
on the kinds of things you could contribute (code isn't the only way!)
After that, pick something specific that interests you. Are you a UI
wizard and would like to improve the admin UI? Want to grab a test
failure case and see if you can understand the root cause and fix it?
Tell us what you're interested in/skilled at and maybe we can give you
a first project.
After that, you have to jump in and dig. If you want to start with the
code, check out the project (the link above will tell you how) and get
it compiling and set up in your IDE of choice, IntellIJ and Eclipse
are the most popular amongst the developers...
And if you do want to work with the actual code, I'd dive into some
problem (see the JIRA list or failing tests) _and_ discuss the
approach you want to take after you've explored for a while. IOW,
don't think you need to have a solution before asking questions!

Erick
