> It's long past time that Solr should have proper startup and log scripts.
> There are a number of reasons and much evidence why we should start including
> them:
> 1. In Solr-4792 we removed the war file from the distribution making it
> easier than ever before to set solr up with these scripts.
> 2. The StackOverflow question on this topic has been viewed more than 34k
> times and has several differing answers.
> 3. For non-java developers, figuring out the right way to start and daemonize
> Solr isn't obvious. Right now, my installation has a number of java flags
> that I've accumulated over the years (-jar means what? -server is only needed
> on 32 bit machines? -xMX huh?) This leads to varied deployments and
> inconsistencies that common scripts could help alleviate.
> 4. Anecdotally I've heard endless bashing of Solr because it's such a pain to
> get set up.
> 5. Solr is unlike any other database I know in the grittiness of starting it
> up.
> 6. Not having these scripts makes Solr look less polished than it would
> otherwise.
> We discussed this on IRC a bit yesterday and there didn't seem to be any
> opposition to doing this. Consensus seemed to be simply that it hadn't been
> done...yet.
> I am not an expert on these things, but I think we should get something put
> together for Solr 5, if there's time. Hopefully this thread can get the ball
> rolling -- I didn't see any previous discussion anywhere. Apologies if I
> missed it.
> This would be a great improvement to Solr.
