- replace new guava 30 with older 25 because that is the correct
dependency for solr 8.8.1. The newer one did actually not work!
- index will be crated in a DATA/INDEX/freeworld/SEGMENTS/solr_8_8_1
subfolder. The older solr_6_6 index is not touched but also not
migrated. The index starts with fresh (empty) content.
- Older indexes must be migrated by hand (export/import) so far until a
better solution is found.
- Large schema adoptions for lucene 8.8.1
moved and was not cleared anymore. This results in an huge fieldcache.

Here I try to use DovValues where it is possible.
For this I used the Api-Scheme as new basis für the Solr-Schema.
This needs at least a complete optimization of the Solr-Index to get a
smaller FieldCache.
Everything that is indexed with these setting will not use the
Fieldcache at all.
This is a very complex migration: many classes had been renamed or
removed, dependencies changed and the solr index type is now aligned to
be a solr cloud repository.
Together with the Solr 5.2 library update, one other dependent library
had been updated as well: httpclient 4.4->4.4.1
Older indexes are migrated from 4_10 to 5_2. However, the new index
structure is more efficient and we recommend to re-index everything.
Please use the index export before you do the update to a large
surrogate xml file. After the update, start with an empty index and then
initialize this with your dump.
- an existing ranking servlet for solr was extended. It is now possible
to set boost values for fields, boost functions and boost queries.
- The ranking can have different instances, but currently only the first
one is used
- added an abstraction layer for fields which can be used for search and
those fields can be edited in the solr ranking configruation
- the ranking value from solr within the field score is used to combine
remote search requests, which all are created using the same locally
defined boost values
- reduced the number of fields which are used for search (makes it
faster)
- replaced some text fields by string fields (makes indexing faster)
- removed classes which had no use
- made a large number of experiments for a better ranking and created a
temporary setting which prefers hits inside titles
- adjusted also the RWI-based ranking computation to 'prefer title'
- made special cases like for portal search where no post-processing and
post-ranking is wanted: this keeps the original ranking order as done by
Solr
- fixed many bugs with old settings for ranking
introduce a copy-field for the author field to be copied to a string
field. This field is then used to generate facets. Without this field,
the facet would consist only of the words of the author names, not of
the full author string.
- fixed type definition found by the verifier
- added multivalue-string fields for solr with extension 'sxt'
- added multivalue-integer fields for solr with extension 'val'
- renamed some solr attributes from txt to sxt
- changed solr query line to an explicit AND/OR structure
- added a country code second level domain list to Domains class; with
parser
- added a host string parser to get domain class name, country-code
second-level domain and subdomain out of it
- removed old coordinate attributes
