Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on SOLR-4792:
---------------------------------------------

bq. ElasticSearch for that matter

The problem is that Solr ships as a kitchen sink while Elasticsearch ships as a 
bare (production?) deployment. Just see the slides 4-5 of 
http://www.slideshare.net/arafalov/solr-vs-elasticsearch-case-by-case . The 
difference is stark.

So, with the war file, people would go and create various packages around 
solr.war but without all the extra packages (e.g. Japanese, Polish, hadoop, 
etc). Now, it is not clear what the - user - story for production deployment 
will be now. 

This is not a story that can be resolved JIRA by JIRA. It's a usability impact 
that spans multiple issues and needs to be thought through on that level (this 
JIRA is not even linked into higher-level item...). And the impact assessment 
possibly includes looking at the things currently outside of Solr such as Linux 
packages, Puppet deployment modules, etc. If this change breaks all of them 
without any easy fix - the impact is quite high indeed.

But how and by whom this needs to be discussed? I have no idea. I am just doing 
the _canary in the coal mine_ job righ tnow.
