David Smiley commented on SOLR-14414:
-------------------------------------
For the record I'm not against this new UI being developed within this
codebase, I just _prefer_ a separate project. That's all. I sense Noble is
adamant.
bq. Adding to a very heavy codebase is going to make it even more unhealthy.
I think we are talking about _replacing_ the admin UI with one that has tests
and is generally more maintainable. Thus I think we'll be in a better place
then we are today no matter where this UI lives!
bq. We need to have bug fix releases for all of them.
Unfortunately, I think this problem won't go away if the UI is a separate
project since it'd ship with Solr still. Shipping it with Solr means its bugs
become our concern as well. And there will actually be more pain on this point
because it will necessitate a new release on the dependency. Come to think of
it, I think this is enough of a pain point for me to prefer keeping the UI code
with the Solr project. But I'll be happy with either outcome. No vetoes from
me on this point!
> New Admin UI
> ------------

> Key: SOLR-14414
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14414
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: Admin UI
> Affects Versions: master (9.0)
> Reporter: Marcus Eagan
> Priority: Major
>
> We have had a lengthy discussion in the mailing list about the need to build
> a modern UI that is both more security and does not depend on deprecated, end
> of life code. In this ticket, I intend to familiarize the community with the
> efforts of the community to do just that that. While we are nearing feature
> parity, but not there yet as many have suggested we could complete this task
> in iterations, here is an attempt to get the ball rolling. I have mostly
> worked on it in weekend nights on the occasion that I could find the time.
> Angular is certainly not my specialty, and this is my first attempt at using
> TypeScript besides a few brief learning exercises here and there. However, I
> will be engaging experts in both of these areas for consultation as our
> community tries to pull our UI into another era.
> Many of the components here can improve. One or two them need to be
> rewritten, and there are even at least three essential components to the app
> missing, along with some tests. A couple other things missing are the V2 API,
> which I found difficult to build with in this context because it is not
> documented on the web. I understand that it is "self-documenting," but the
> most easy-to-use APIs are still documented on the web. Maybe it is entirely
> documented on the web, and I had trouble finding it. Forgive me, as that
> could be an area of assistance. Another area where I need assistance is
> packaging this application as a Solr package. I understand this app is not in
> the right place for that today, but it can be. There are still many
> improvements to be made in this Jira and certainly in this code.
> The project is located in {{lucene-solr/solr/webapp2}}, where there is a
> README for information on running the app.
> The app can be started from the this directory with {{npm start}} for now. It
> can quickly be modified to start as a part of the typical start commands as
> it approaches parity. I expect there will be a lot of opinions. I welcome
> them, of course. The community input should drive the project's success.
