Present: Jonathan, Danny, Paul, Kirsta

Agenda

  • Views
  • Security

Views

  • Danny provided a tour of Apache search, views, and the Apache solr views plugin
  • Solr Apahe Views is being developed for 7, but 6 is pretty robust. We need to get our data in Apache Solr if we wanted to use Apache Solr Views out of the box (maybe).
  • Apache Solr Views 6
  • Arguments work much better with Apache Solr plugin, but filters are not as good as default Drupal Views behaviour
  • We prefer using request handlers - filtering by namespace prefix will remain an important part of the architecture in seven
  • Can we use Views on top of our Solr? Danny will have to look into it. Looks like we would be writing our own plugin for reading Solr, but might need to put in Apache Solr (Drupal) module in as well. Added complexity but could give us a unified search.
  • Conclusion: Views integration is not a priority in seven at the moment.

Action Items

  • Finish porting Drupal 7 - Danny, Alan, Paul, and Jonathan to discuss how the seven module will be developed and report back to the Roadmap group in the next meeting. Danny will also show Alan the Solr plugin stuff.
  • Danny is going to research whether we can use the Apache Solr plugin module to read Islandora Solr indexes.
  • NOTE: Integrating Solr indexes is a major priority (Search across Drupal, Fedora, and maybe ILSs)
  • Still aiming for the end of March for a beta core (security)
