Release Notes 2.5

map.apps Smart Search Extension is closely coupled with smart.finder, so the release notes of both products are identical.

What’s New

Support for Apache Solr 9.10

This version supports Apache Solr 9.10.x. The previous version, Apache Solr 9.9.0, is not compatible with map.apps Smart Search 3.1.0. Please refer to the Update notes for the steps required to update from Apache Solr 9.9.0 to 9.10.x.

Basic information on installing Apache Solr can be found at Required Software.

Information on configuring map.apps Smart Search in your Apache Solr instance can be found at Apache Solr Configuration.

Update Notes

If you skip several versions during the update, please also follow all update notes of the intervening versions.

Updating Apache Solr

To update Apache Solr to version 9.10.x, proceed as follows:

  1. Stop Apache Solr

  2. Back up relevant data and directories from the current installation:

    1. The SOLR_HOME directory, which is located by default at [SOLR_INSTALL_DIR]/server/solr.

    2. The configuration files /etc/default/solr.in.sh (Linux) or [SOLR_INSTALL_DIR]/bin/solr.in.cmd (Windows)

  3. Update Apache Solr to version 9.10.x. Solr does not offer an in-place upgrade – the new installation must be set up in parallel.

  4. Check that the previously backed-up files are still present in the updated folders.

  5. Start Apache Solr

  6. Check the installation (e.g. Admin UI)

Updating the map.apps Smart Search search index

The configuration of the core0 index can be updated to avoid unnecessary duplicate entries in the index. To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. Stop the Apache Solr service

  2. Replace the file [SOLR_HOME]/core0/conf/solrconfig.xml with [RELEASE-FOLDER]/resources/solr/cores/core0/conf/solrconfig.xml. If you have previously made changes to [SOLR_HOME]/core0/conf/solrconfig.xml, compare the files and selectively apply the new sections.

  3. Start the Apache Solr service
