Build
----------------------
Documentation
----------------------
================== Release 1.4.0 ==================
Upgrading from Solr 1.3
-----------------------
Evaluator API has been changed in a non back-compatible way. Users who have developed custom Evaluators will need
to change their code according to the new API for it to work. See SOLR-996 for details.
The formatDate evaluator's syntax has been changed. The new syntax is formatDate(<variable>, '<format_string>').
For example, formatDate(x.date, 'yyyy-MM-dd'). In the old syntax, the date string was written without a single-quotes.
The old syntax has been deprecated and will be removed in 1.5, until then, using the old syntax will log a warning.
The Context API has been changed in a non back-compatible way. In particular, the Context.currentProcess() method
now returns a String describing the type of the current import process instead of an int. Similarily, the public
constants in Context viz. FULL_DUMP, DELTA_DUMP and FIND_DELTA are changed to a String type. See SOLR-969 for details.
The EntityProcessor API has been simplified by moving logic for applying transformers and handling multi-row outputs
from Transformers into an EntityProcessorWrapper class. The EntityProcessor#destroy is now called once per
parent-row at the end of row (end of data). A new method EntityProcessor#close is added which is called at the end
of import.
In Solr 1.3, if the last_index_time was not available (first import) and a delta-import was requested, a full-import
was run instead. This is no longer the case. In Solr 1.4 delta import is run with last_index_time as the epoch
date (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT) if last_index_time is not available.
Detailed Change List
----------------------
New Features
----------------------
1. SOLR-768: Set last_index_time variable in full-import command.
(Wojtek Piaseczny, Noble Paul via shalin)
2. SOLR-811: Allow a "deltaImportQuery" attribute in SqlEntityProcessor which is used for delta imports
instead of DataImportHandler manipulating the SQL itself.
(Noble Paul via shalin)
3. SOLR-842: Better error handling in DataImportHandler with options to abort, skip and continue imports.
(Noble Paul, shalin)
4. SOLR-833: A DataSource to read data from a field as a reader. This can be used, for example, to read XMLs
residing as CLOBs or BLOBs in databases.
(Noble Paul via shalin)
5. SOLR-887: A Transformer to strip HTML tags.
(Ahmed Hammad via shalin)
6. SOLR-886: DataImportHandler should rollback when an import fails or it is aborted
(shalin)

(Noble Paul via shalin)
8. SOLR-812: Configurable JDBC settings in JdbcDataSource including optimized defaults for read only mode.
(David Smiley, Glen Newton, shalin)
9. SOLR-910: Add a few utility commands to the DIH admin page such as full import, delta import, status, reload config.

(Noble Paul via shalin)
15.SOLR-1001: Allow variables in various attributes of RegexTransformer, HTMLStripTransformer
and NumberFormatTransformer.

through the new API methods.

Use $skipRow to skip the current row but continue with the document. Use $stopTransform to stop
further transformers. New methods are introduced in Context for deleting by id and query.
(Noble Paul, Fergus McMenemie, shalin)
25.SOLR-1076: JdbcDataSource should resolve variables in all its configuration parameters.
(shalin)

for processing with transformers and child entities.
(Fergus McMenemie, Noble Paul, shalin)
31.SOLR-1127: Add support for field name to be templatized.
(Noble Paul, shalin)

35.SOLR-1235: disallow period (.) in entity names (noble)
36.SOLR-1234: Multiple DIH does not work because all of them write to dataimport.properties.
