Jan Høydahl reassigned SOLR-15959:
----------------------------------
Assignee: Jan Høydahl
> Deprecate loading of solr.xml from ZK
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-15959
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15959
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Assignee: Jan Høydahl
> Priority: Major
>
> In SOLR-7735, five years ago (committed by me) we allowed loading of solr.xml
> from zookeeper.
> Part of the motivation back then was to be able to put {{solr.xml}} in a
> central place and not being forced to initialize {{SOLR_HOME}} with that
> file, similar to the goal of SOLR-9575. And perhaps also an easy way to
> update solr.xml.
> However, I think it may have been a mistake that should be deprecated and
> ultimately removed. Why? The {{solr.xml}} file is the "node config" for solr.
> Where you set node-level props that need to be there at early node startup.
> So even if you change the file in ZK, nodes will have not way of reloading
> those plugins dynamically without a restart
> The file may even contain local-node-specific settings that shuold differ
> from node to node. Especially during rolling upgrade, it may be important to
> be able to have a different {{solr.xml}} on the new nodes and on the old
> ones. With property substitution you can do some of that, but you cannot add
> XML tags with a sysprop.
