: Hoss, I've seen you mention "plugin" several times... I presume you : mean a custom request handler. If not, could you elaborate on what : you mean?
sorry, yes ... most generally I mean any code which doesn't ship with Solr, but which is loaded into the JVM at Solr's request because of configuration specified by the user. In the context of highlighting I'm refering to custom SolrRequestHandlers, but in a broader context I think of custom Analyzers, TokenizerFactories, TokenFilterFactories, Similarities, SolrCaches, CacheRegenerators, and UpdateHandlers as types of "plugins". -Hoss
