Comment: Solr 10: no Apache HttpClient

...

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. 

Solr 9x

Remove deprecated feature X
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 SolrJSolrJ should be lighter-weight (smaller) for more users; fewer dependencies.  Add modules for some dependencies and functionality.Smiley, Jan, Houston, others

Use JAX-RSJAX-RS based V2 API definitions; use more and more.  Jason
Improve new framework Y


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 SolrFilter.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 SmileyTech-debt
