Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Solr 6.2.1 released

[Michael Brohl-3]

Hi everyone,

there's an new Solr/Lucene version released. Should we do an update?

It will need some refactoring, there are a few compile errors to be solved.

I'd create a Jira and do this work if we want to update, what do you think?

Regards,

Michael

I think an update is _always_ a welcomed thing not only for feature set but
also security and bug fixes. So always +1 to upgrade to new versions of
anything.

However, I have to say Solr and Birt are two massive components in terms of
dependencies. So while upgrading and fixing compilation errors if we can
refactor anything to make it lighter that would be an added value
