Hi Devs,
As we discussed over the last few months, there seems a need to move
non-core pieces away from the Solr core module. The contribs are presently
a good place, but it makes sense to have a separate git repository hosting
such modules. Some candidates that come to mind are the present day contrib
modules, upcoming HDFS support module (separated away from solr-core),
other first party packages. Along with that, there is also a need for a
repository for hosting WIP modules/sub-projects.
I propose that we apply for the creation of two new git repositories:
1. solr-extras (or lucene-solr-extras)
2. solr-sandbox (or lucene-solr-sandbox)
Well tested, well supported modules/sub-projects can be released straight
away from *solr-extras*. The first party packages can be built from this
location and shipped with Solr (or be available for install using the
package manager CLI).
New, unproved, beta, unstable modules can be hosted on *solr-sandbox* (and
graduate to solr-extras once stable).
Please let me know if there are any questions/concerns with this approach.
Thanks and regards,
Ishan
