[Koha-devel] Default indexing and search options for 3.14

[Marcel de Rooy]

Hi,

Just a question on this topic:



Some time ago I tested the SRU server on ports 9998/9999 with Zebra/DOM, and at that time it would not work (rightaway, or as quick as it did with Zebra/GRS). (But I did not spend much time on sorting it out btw.) Any chance that someone can confirm that this problem has been resolved? (Are you working with it?) I think we should not deprecate GRS if this still needs more attention..



Marcel

Onderwerp: [Koha-devel] Default indexing and search options for 3.14

Hi,

I would like to have a discussion regarding making certain options the default for new installations of Koha 3.14 and deprecating other options.  Here's the list of proposals:

Enable DOM mode by default for both bibs and authorities
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that MARC21, NORMARC, and UNIMARC have DOM indexing configurations available, this is now possible.

Deprecating the GRS-1 filter
-----------------------------------------

Giving that DOM has significant advantages of GRS-1 in its flexibility, and as the DOM filter would be required for non-MARC metadata support by Zebra, I propose that we announce a deprecation of the GRS-1 configuration with it to be removed by 3.16.  I foresee several features coming down the pike for 3.16 that would require a reindexing during upgrade anyway, so switching to DOM for 3.16 would not impose a burden that wouldn't be present anyway.

Enable QueryParser by default
---------------------------------------------

Bug 10542 might be a blocker for this, and doing something about bug 10831 would be nice in order to do this.

Deprecating non-QueryParser mode
---------------------------------------------------

Removing the non-QueryParser code would go a long way towards easing the rewrite of C4::Search.

Enable ICU by default
-------------------------------

This was discussed during hackfest.  One precondition I see is that bug 10729 would have to pass QA

Regards,

Galen
