[Koha-devel] Saying farewell to QueryParser

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Great job Martin, Jonathan, and Katrin!

 

Sad to say goodbye to all the effort put into the QueryParser, but I think it was the right time for it to go too. Hopefully some of the ideas behind it can be used to improve things in the future.

Subject: [Koha-devel] Saying farewell to QueryParser

 

Hi All, 

 

As discussed at the development meeting on the 19th February <https://meetings.koha-community.org/2020/development_irc_meeting_19_february_2020.2020-02-19-14.02.html>  we have decided to remove the QueryParser option and code from Koha.

 

This decision was not taken lightly, but with the move towards Elasticsearch and the lack of follow-through support for continued bug fixing and improvements in the QueryParser code we decided to reduce out maintenance debt and remove it.  We used HEA to try to ascertain if anyone had been using the option and it appears to have little to zero adoption (and at the time of writing, had a number of bad bugs which meant using it was advised against for some time).

 

Jonathan D has worked hard to produce a patch quickly to do this work and I intend to push this later today to reduce the risk of repetitive rebase requirements.

 

So, join me in saying farewell to QueryParser, a nice idea never fully realised.

 

Many thanks as ever to the koha development team,
