Meeting housekeeping
- Record!
- Apache projects make decisions in public, not in invite-only meetings
- Next meetings: agree on quarterly? Agree on Thursday? Agree on Smiley hosting? Time-of-day... a challenge; maybe we should mix it up to be India friendly.
- Next meeting: pre-invite all committers to the calendar invite. Not difficult if one person always host the meeting (Smiley doesn't mind); next host will have to get the list from previous host. Going one-by-one would be a PITA with so many "committers" (mostly historical contributors)
Theme: 9.0 Release!
Discussion items, all 9.0
If attendees wish to discuss some particular JIRA issues to be done for 9.0 (whether they are currently marked as "Blocker" or not), let's list them here?:
JIRA(s) | Topic | Who | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
| HDFS | Smiley |
|
| Highlighting | Smiley | Make UnifiedHighlighter the default. Maybe strip the config out of the other highlighters out of solrconfig.xml in order to drive down that file size? |
| Neural Search | Benedetti | Introduce Dense Vector Indexing Introduce KNN query parser |
QA current release blockers
Some of the current blockers have seen little or no developer interest. Each blocker should either have an Assignee or be removed from the list. Here is the current blocker list:
Other Topics?
Note that there will be more frequent meetings like this; so we needn't feel compelled to fit in more in this meeting.
- CHANGES.txt → can we abandon it? I don't commit every day to Solr (as many other committers), and when I do I always have to remember what is the right procedure for editing the CHANGES.txt and the most annoying part is when you cherry-pick from main to a separate branch. (Alessandro Benedetti )
Action items
- Smiley to schedule the next meetings! Every 3 months on a Thursday?
