This page details the current plans for future releases, these plans may change from time to time so check back regularly.
It is not a goal to list all Jira issues in a release here. Only major & controversial features, deprecations, breaking changes and other tasks that need coordination between releases need an entry.
Deprecations
They are listed here separately on this page: Deprecations
Solr 10+ Roadmap
TBD: Ongoing discussion on Overseer vs Distributed State Updates. Efficient state updates.
Apache Curator; usage TBD.
OpenAPI: complete coverage.
Apache HttpClient no longer included with Solr; not a dependency of SolrJ either (will be an optional choice for some time maybe)
No longer in 10:
- Apache HttpClient
- Custom V2 API annotations/framework – use JAX-RS instead.

JIRA | | Theme | Jira |

HTTP 1 → HTTP 2 | Switch the remaining HTTP 1 usage within Solr to HTTP 2. Apache HttpClient should no longer be used on the server. | Smiley |
|
|
Modularize SolrJ | SolrJ should be lighter-weight (smaller) for more users; fewer dependencies. Add modules for some dependencies and functionality. | Smiley, Jan, Houston, others |
|
|
Use JAX-RS | JAX-RS based V2 API definitions; use more and more. | Jason |

Solr 9.0
The theme of this release is to use Lucene 9.0 and to introduce some major frameworks.
We should not remove all features/APIs deprecated in 8.x yet, to give users a path to upgrade to 9.x without all the extra noise. Deprecated features can be removed in a later 9.x release, when the new alternative is solid and well known.

Remove Filter.java from Solr | Filter.java is a legacy relic from earlier Lucene days. Solr uses Filter in a variety of places where it can use other constructs or in some cases we need to make new constructs. In some cases like TwoPhaseIterator, this is an optimization. | David Smiley | Tech-debt | Jira |
