Solr is the popular, blazing fast, open source NoSQL search platform from the Apache Lucene project.

Solr is highly scalable, providing fault tolerant distributed search and indexing, and powers the search and navigation features of many of the world's largest internet sites.

Solr 7.7.1 Release Highlights:

  • Bugfix for ClassCastException when URPs try to read a String field which returns a ByteArrayUTF8CHarSequence (a regression in release 7.7.0).

  • Bugfix: Autoscaling based replica placement was broken out of the box. Solr 7.6 enabled autoscaling based replica placement by default but in the absence of default cluster policies, autoscaling can place more than 1 replica of the same shard on the same node. Also, the maxShardsPerNode and createNodeSet was not respected. Due to these reasons, this issue reverts the default replica placement policy to the ‘legacy’ assignment policy that was the default until Solr 7.5.
