Hi all, We are currently running solr 4.4 on a 3 node cluster. We have never had an incentive to upgrade. That old solr version is heavily integrated into our infrastructure, so we always considered an upgrade to be a monumental task. We recently started looking at the new solr features and we are starting to reconsider if it might be worth it to upgrade after all.
My google-fu has failed me on some points and I was hoping that someone here might help with them. We are still using the old static core loading system which was deprecated in version 4.0. We will obviously need to redo that part. Apart from that, would it be reasonably safe to assume that our current schema and configuration would work out of the box with with solr 8.8 or should we expect to need to redo the configuration? Phonetic search is the most enticing of the new features for us. It doesn't look like it has support for Danish, however. Does that mean that this feature is a no-go for us, or are there other ways of making it work, like a "generic" language setting? I couldn't find any information regarding this. We have looked at the new spell checking and search suggestions. The documentation references dictionary support, yet i couldn't find anything for Danish. Are the dictionaries something which is mean to be hand-crafted or is there an external source we might use? If not, would an index based spellchecker be a better choice for us? -- JOHN NIELSEN DevOps / Programmør www.mcb.dk Telefon: +45 70-1-2-4-8-16 Lægårdvej 86 <https://maps.google.com/?q=L%C3%A6g%C3%A5rdvej+86&entry=gmail&source=g>B DK-7500 Holstebro
