noblepaul edited a comment on issue #1124: SOLR-14151 :Schema components to be loadable from packages URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1124#issuecomment-569603722 I would like to take a stab at the overall design ## Various classes - `interface ResourceLoader` : The lucene interface that loads classes and resources - `interface SolrClassLoader extends ResourceLaoder` : Has some extra overloaded methods to load plugins with a few extra paramaters - `class SolrResourceLoader implements SolrClassLoader` : implements loading classes from a set of files on disk and it also has some extra methods pertaining to Solr (data dir, conf dir etc, etc). These things do not work with packages b/c packages do not support concepts like data dir, schema config etc. - `class PackageAwareSolrClassLoader implements SolrClassLoader`: Has extra functionality of listening to package changes and give callback to reload something if anything changes. This outsources the classloading from file system to `SolrResourceLoader` itself. ## Hotloading There are 2 types of hot loading implemented as of today 1. In place update of individual plugins: Most components configured in `solrconfig.xml` today support hotloading. Each object listens to its package changes and reload 2. schema : This treats the entire `IndexSchema` object as a single entity. Each object listens to package changes , if any package is modified, the entire `IndexSchema` is reloaded 3. TODO : We can support a new class of plugins which actually can reload the `SolrCore` when packages are updated. #1109 can use the `PackageAwareSolrClassLoader` to listen packages to and reload core Your worst fears can be addressed with the following - Is there any component in IndexSchema that is referred and stored outside of IndexSchema object? - The following method in `SolrCore` must be broken , if this is true. ``` public void setLatestSchema(IndexSchema replacementSchema) ``` AFAIK, there are no known issues In the worst case we can provide an extra hook for you to reload core always when schema components are changed
