I am looking to upgrade an application that still uses version 4.6.1 to
latest solr (7.2) but realized that support for EmbeddedSolrServer seems to
have vanished with 7.0 but I could find no mention of it in the release
notes, which strikes me as odd for such a disruptive change. Is it
somewhere else or has it just gone silently? The class wasn't deprecated in
6.x as far as I can see. What am I missing?
I have no problem updating to 6.6.2 for now to delay having to worry about
a bigger migration but just don't want to do it, because I am missing
something obvious.
Btw. I do not want to start yet another thread about the merits of using an
embedded solr server ;-).
It's still there. Here's the 7.2 javadoc:
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/7_2_0/solr-core/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/embedded/EmbeddedSolrServer.html
Since 5.0, it is a descendant of SolrClient, and the SolrServer abstract
class was removed in 6.0.
Regarding whether you should use the embedded server or not: For
production usage, I would not recommend it, because redundancy is not
possible. But there are certain situations (mostly dev/testing) where
it's absolutely the right solution.
I am not expecting EmbeddedSolrServer to be removed. It is used
extensively in Solr tests and by many users in the wild.
Thanks,
