Discussion Topics

Post-Meeting Summary

Community Over Code 2024

• Who's all going to CoC?
• Survey findings https://forms.gle/MAKgi4tzEjtqgA476
  
  • Linux dominates the usage
  • Module usage may not be accurate representation. Christopher suggested including description of the module when doing this again
  • Docker / install script are most common way of running Solr

Cancelling in-progress Collections API requests

• (David) Moving away from Overseer
  • This is drastic change with PRS (per replica state) being a pre-cursor
• (Jason) What does the clean up look like for canceled admin tasks?
  • Each command would have very distinct steps to clean up
  • Focusing on backup request as the initial scope of work, make requests "cancel-able" to limit the scope and impact of this change
• (Pierre) A recent change was made to limit to 5 threads for admin tasks. How do we treat non-started and in- requests?
• (Yuntong) Suggestion on the Jira is to use task management, but it seems to be oriented more query-specific
• Next step is to post summary and plan on Jira story

Solr Vision

• Christopher and David will collaborate on this effort and share updates on mailing list

New Admin UI 

• Any recent updates? 
• (Jason) There is discussion on PoC PR, but no updates otherwise

Solr 9.7.1 branch

• Couple of bugs have been reported on the users list
  • One bug is with running on Windows

Stale PR Review (Link) 

• https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/2313
  
  • Known issue with HTTP2SolrClient that's highly visible and impacted number of users running Solr with high number of shards
• https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/2303
  
  • Could someone else and review? David volunteered to help review
• https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/2199
  • There has been more testing done with PRS. What's the latest status?
• Do we close stale PRs?
  • Can bot auto-close after some time? Yes!
  • Follow up on dev list

Solr Metrics 

• Solr uses DropWizard, but it hasn't kept up with users needs
• OpenTelemetry is gaining popularity in the industry. It provides metrics/tracing/logs
  • Metrics are attribute based which suites Solr well
• DropWizard 4 doesn't have tags. DropWizard 5 does, but not yet released
