Description

*The Policeman is NOW OFF duty!

_When The Policeman is on duty, sit back, relax, and have some fun. Try to make some progress. Don't stress too much about the impact of your changes or maintaining stability and performance and correctness so much. Until the end of phase 1, I've got your back. I have a variety of tools and contraptions I have been building over the years and I will continue training them on this branch. I will review your changes and peer out across the land and course correct where needed. As Mike D will be thinking, "Sounds like a bottleneck Mark." And indeed it will be to some extent. Which is why once stage one is completed, I will flip The Policeman to off duty. When off duty, I'm always occasionally *down for some vigilante justice, but I won't be walking the beat, all that stuff about sit back and relax goes out the window._

 

I have stolen this title from Ishan or Noble and Ishan.

This issue is meant to capture the work of a small team that is forming to push Solr and SolrCloud to the next phase.

I have kicked off the work with an effort to create a very fast and solid base. That work is not 100% done, but it's ready to join the fight.

Tim Potter has started giving me a tremendous hand in finishing up. Ishan and Noble have already contributed support and testing and have plans for additional work to shore up some of our current shortcomings.

Others have expressed an interest in helping and hopefully they will pop up here as well.

Let's organize and discuss our efforts here and in various sub issues.
