We have a bit of a mismatch that the people who generally provide the minimal
support to DIH are not the folks deploying and using it. It would be great to
get more users of DIH to contribute fixes and maintain to the plugin.
DIH was spun out of core Solr so that it could build a proper communi
After hearing from a few people who were able to get DIH to keep working by
building the jars into Solr 9, I did go back and eventually build a custom Solr
image with the jars I needed in place and I did get that to work with a Solr 8
base image. I haven't tried with Solr 9 yet. In hindsight, bu
Perhaps try out JesterJ? It has a database connector, and I encourage you
to try it out.

There are discussion forums, issue reporting and a discord channel if you
have questions or feedback.
Full disclosure: I wrote most of JesterJ, though the JDBC connector was
About a year ago, we were in a similar position, running Solr v7 and using
built-in DIH.
We upgraded to Solr v9.4 and updated DIH using the contrib package from the
SearchScale GitHub repo. It was a very successful upgrade.
(Solr v9.5 was available at the time, but in early 2024, the latest Se
Hello Sarah.

deployed by placing jars into some /lib dir and cofiguring like in the good
old days? I guess it still works and suits fine for custom images, where
there's no need in runtime plugin deploy.
Also, recently I added an

Yep, good ol’ ETL. My solution was dumping the data as one JSON object per
document, an optional transform step, then a multi-threaded Python loader that
was schema-independent. The multi-threaded loader ran way faster than DIH.
This approach also easily supports re-indexing and re-do after a f
