I want to draw attention to a recent refactoring of the file ./server/scripts/cloud-scripts/snapshotscli.sh. This script allows you to use the command line for interacting with snapshots, which is pretty cool, but has no docs, nothing in the Ref Guide and has it's own specific CLI tooling. In https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/2381 I've refactored the logic so that now the various snapshot-create, snapshot-list, snapshot-export etc commands all function as part of the SolrCLI. I've found one command that is specific to making backups for Solr on HDFS that appears to leverage some HDFS specific scripts. This has been moved to modules/hdfs/bin/prepare-snapshot-export.sh script. I'm looking for someone who is running Solr on HDFS to help me test out these changes and make sure that they have an easy upgrade path!
Please feel free to reply on this thread or reach out to me directly on email/slack/etc. I would like this refactoring to be released when 9.8 comes out, and the removal of the snapshotscli.sh script to happen in Solr 10. Thanks! Eric
