Hi all, When I suggested the developer consider upgrading to v5.5 or 6.0 (from v3.6), this was their response. It’s clear that upgrading is not going to happen any time soon.
Developer response: "But to use SOLR 5, there is a need to find a stable and reliable php client. And until very recent time there were no release. In other case we would have to write PHP client itself. Then we would have to rewrite integration API with a software, because API very likely has changed. And then make changes to every single piece of code in backend and frontend of our system that is tied up with search functionality in any way. “ — I would still like to know (from you folks) if the “stable PHP client” issue still holds true? Perhaps that is not an easy question.
