Lucene/Solr 4.2.1

[Mark Miller <ma...@gmail.com>]

Just a heads up, but I'm likely to bite the bullet on a 4.2.1 soon. I'm not 100% sure, but I think so. If so, I'd try and roll it this week. 

My current plan would be to put in every bug fix we have so far in Lucene and Solr. Optimizations are fair game I think, though I'll be looking at bugs myself.

Let me know your thoughts if they differ.

If your onboard, any help merging back stuff is appreciated.

There are just a lot of bug fixes, not really anything particularly nasty. I think we will probably do a 4.3 soon as well, but we have not invested time in a point release in a while and I think it causes fewer upgrades that will fix bugs. I think people are less likely to upgrade to 4.3 than 4.2.1 anytime soon. Because of that, and because Robert shouldered most of the 4.2 burden, I figured I could stand to put some effort into a 4.2.1.

Part of this is guilt I suppose? There have been bugs that I have thought warranted a 4.0.1 and 4.1.1, but I never felt I had the time/energy to shoulder a release. There are parts that involve Maven :)

One of the more annoying bugs to me is that accessing the admin UI in SolrCloud mode causes lots of warning logging that fills up your logs and looks scary - just that makes me want a 4.2.1, but there are lots of other bugs fixes already as well.

Mark, thanks for the heads up.  As I don't want to go through to upgrade
cycle in such short period, I will skip 4.2.0 and wait for 4.2.1.

I am curious as to why 4.2.1 so soon.  Is there some nasty bug(s) in 4.2.0?
 If that's the case I think I would like to know.

Bill

Done, also added 4.2.1 sections in CHANGES.txt files on trunk and branch_4x.

I'll backport my issues now: 

* SOLR-4537: Clean up schema information REST API.
* SOLR-4567: copyField source glob matching explicit field(s) stopped working in Solr 4.2.

Hi Mark,

I am fine with that. Would you start to move your fixes into the already existing 4.2 release branch, so we can start 4.2.1 from there? I think the branch should already be setup for 4.2.1, maybe you only need to raise version numbers.

Once you hooked onto the 4.2 branch I would backport the SPI classloader fix - that’s the only fix I have (as far as I remember).
