Upgrading from 4.x to 5.x
Hi!
I'm a very inexperienced user with Solr. I've been using Solr to
provide indexes for my Dovecot IMAP server. Using version 3.x, and
later 4.x, I have been able to do so without too much of a challenge.
However, version 5.x has certainly changed quite a bit and I'm very
uncertain how to proceed.
I currently have a working 4.10.3 installation, using the "example"
server provided with the Solr distribution package, and a schema.xml
optimized for Dovecot. I haven't found anything on migrating from 4 to
5 - at least anything I actually understood. Can you point me in the
right direction?

You can point Solr 5 at an existing directory (SOLR_HOME) that contains
your index and configs with the -s parameter:
bin/solr start -s /path/to/old/solr_home

If you have an existing conf you don’t need to worry about config sets. That is a new concept for kickstarting new cores from.

Assuming you’re not using SolrCloud.
1. Copy the server/ folder to your new location
2. cd server/solr (or the location you defined as SOLR HOME)
3. cp -r /path/to/old/solr4/SOLR_HOME/dovecot .
4. Make sure there is a core.properties file in the dovecot folder
5. Start solr, and you should have your core up and running as before
If you’re using SolrCloud and ZooKeeper there are other steps to follow.

Daniel,
You are close, delete those *configsets* folder and paste you
*collection1 *folder
and run the server. It will do the trick.

Not quite but I'm improving. Or something...
Looking under solr5/server/solr I see configsets with the three default
choices. What "feels" right is to make a new folder in there for my app
(dovecot) and then copy my solr4/example/solr/collection1/conf folder. I'm
hoping I'm on the right track - maybe working too hard.
If that was correct, then I tried "solr create -n dovecot -c dovecot"
(after stopping my old server and starting a new one) and it did create an
entry. I then stopped the server, copied my old data folder over to the new
location, and started the server.
I then tried searching, which may have worked...I'm not certain if the
search results came from solr or my imap server manually searching.
I'm sure I'm overcomplicating things - just not seeing the obvious.

Hi daniel
You need to update your config/scehma file on the path like
'...\solr-dir\server\solr' . When you are done then you can update your
index path in solrconfig.xml.
I hope you got it.
Best,
Zahid

Thank you - but I still don't understand where to install/copy/modify
config files or schema to point at my current index. My 4.x schema.xml was
fairly well optimized, and I believe I removed any deprecated usage, so I
assume it would be compatible with the 5.x server.

Hi
You could try this
Instead of example/, use the server/ folder (it has Jetty in it)
Start Solr using bin/solr start script instead of java -jar start.jar …
Leave your solrconfig and schema as is to keep back-compat with 4.x.
You may need to remove use of 3.x classes that were deprecated in 4.x
