Solr Operator

The Solr Operator manages Apache Solr Clouds within Kubernetes. It is built on top of the Kube Builder framework.

The project is currently in beta (v1beta1), and while we do not anticipate changing the API in backwards-incompatible ways there is no such guarantee yet.

If you run into issues using the Solr Operator, please:

• Reference the version compatibility and upgrade/deprecation notes provided below
• Create a Github Issue in this repo, describing your problem with as much detail as possible
• Reach out on our Slack channel!

Join us on the #solr-operator channel in the official Kubernetes slack workspace.

Version Compatibility & Upgrade Notes

v0.2.7

• The SolrCloud and SolrPrometheusExporter services' portNames have changed to "solr-client" and "solr-metrics" from "ext-solr-client" and "ext-solr-metrics", respectively. This is due to a bug in Kubernetes where portName and targetPort must match for services.

• Support for etcd/zetcd deployments has been removed.
  The section for a Zookeeper cluster Spec SolrCloud.spec.zookeeperRef.provided.zookeeper has been DEPRECATED. The same fields (except for the deprecated persistentVolumeClaimSpec option) are now available under SolrCloud.spec.zookeeperRef.provided.

• Data Storage options have been expanded, and moved from their old locations.

  • SolrCloud.spec.dataPvcSpec has been DEPRECATED.
    Please instead use the following instead: SolrCloud.spec.dataStorage.persistent.pvcTemplate.spec=<spec>
  • SolrCloud.spec.backupRestoreVolume has been DEPRECATED.
    Please instead use the following instead: SolrCloud.spec.dataStorage.backupRestoreOptions.Volume=<volume-source>

v0.2.6

• The solr-operator argument --ingressBaseDomain has been DEPRECATED. In order to set the external baseDomain of your clouds, please begin to use SolrCloud.spec.solrAddressability.external.domainName instead. You will also need to set SolrCloud.spec.solrAddressability.external.method to Ingress. The --ingressBaseDomain argument is backwards compatible, and all existing SolrCloud objects will be auto-updated once your operator is upgraded to v0.2.6. The argument will be removed in a future version (v0.3.0).

v0.2.4

• The default supported version of the Zookeeper Operator has been upgraded to v0.2.6.
  If you are using the provided zookeeper option for your SolrClouds, then you will want to upgrade your zookeeper operator version as well as the version and image of the zookeeper that you are running. You can find examples of the zookeeper operator as well as solrClouds that use provided zookeepers in the examples directory.
  Please refer to the Zookeeper Operator release notes before upgrading.

v0.2.3

• If you do not use an ingress with the Solr Operator, the Solr Hostname and Port will change when upgrading to this version. This is to fix an outstanding bug. Because of the headless service port change, you will likely see an outage for inter-node communication until all pods have been restarted.

v0.2.2

• SolrCloud.spec.solrPodPolicy has been DEPRECATED in favor of the SolrCloud.spec.customSolrKubeOptions.podOptions option.
  This option is backwards compatible, but will be removed in a future version (v0.3.0).

• SolrPrometheusExporter.spec.solrPodPolicy has been DEPRECATED in favor of the SolrPrometheusExporter.spec.customKubeOptions.podOptions option.
  This option is backwards compatible, but will be removed in a future version (v0.3.0).

v0.2.1

• The zkConnectionString used for provided zookeepers changed from using the string provided in the ZkCluster.Status, which used an IP, to using the service name. This will cause a rolling restart of your solrs using the provided zookeeper option, but there will be no data loss.

v0.2.0

• Uses gomod instead of dep
• SolrCloud.spec.zookeeperRef.provided.zookeeper.persistentVolumeClaimSpec has been DEPRECATED in favor of the SolrCloud.zookeeperRef.provided.zookeeper.persistence option.
  This option is backwards compatible, but will be removed in a future version (v0.3.0).
• An upgrade to the ZKOperator version 0.2.4 is required.

v0.1.1

• SolrCloud.Spec.persistentVolumeClaim was renamed to SolrCloud.Spec.dataPvcSpec

Compatibility with Kubernetes Versions

Fully Compatible - v1.13+

Feature Gates required for older versions

• v1.10 - CustomResourceSubresources
