----------------------------------

             Summary: Warn users running old version of Solr
                 Key: SOLR-14336
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14336
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
            Reporter: Jan Høydahl


There are obviously many very old Solr installs out there. People are still reporting issues for Solr 4.x and 5.x. This is a proposal that Solr will print a warning in the logs and display a warning in the Admin UI Dashboard when running a (probably) outdated version.

I do not aim to "call home" to Apache to check versions, but instead parse release date from 'solr-impl-version' string and warn if more than 1 year old. That should be very conservative as there will almost certainly be a handful new releases, with potential security fixes.
