Upgrading

In this major release, Spotlight 3 has updated its upstream dependencies to support the latest releases of Rails, Blacklight and Bootstrap. As such, it's important to review those upgrade guides and address deprecation warnings from your application either before or as part of upgrading to Spotlight 3.

1. Review the Blacklight 7 upgrade guide
2. Review the Bootstrap 3 to 4 migration guide for any local customizations
3. Convert any local custom JavaScript from using require.js syntax to the umd version. See #2599

Additionally, there are some changes you need to make to your application to support new features or configurations in Spotlight 3:

4. Add the SirTrevor initializer to your application
5. Update local indexing code to use the new ETL framework (see below)
6. Update your SearchBuilder to replace Spotlight::AccessControlsEnforcementSearchBuilder with Spotlight::SearchBuilder
7. Install + run the new spotlight migrations: rake spotlight:install:migrations && rake db:migrate

ETL

Spotlight::SolrDocumentBuilder has been removed in Spotlight 3, and your Resource model is now responsible for all steps in the indexing process. Spotlight now provides an indexing pipeline framework to make it relatively easy to build your indexing rules into the resource.

Each resource class has indexing_pipeline method that defines the ETL steps for creating solr documents from your resource instance. In your local resource class, you'll want to add additional configuration to the pipeline to perform appropriate extract and load steps.

The pipeline source configuration is an array of extraction steps. These steps can return/yield one or more source objects that will be transformed later in the pipeline. In general, these objects should be 1:1 to the documents. By default, Spotlight assumes the resource object is the object to index, but e.g. if you had a resource instance that represented a collection containing 5 constituent object, the source would yield an object representing the collection and 5 additional objects for each part of the collection.

The pipeline transform configuration take the sources and turns it into a solr document-style hash. By default, Spotlight provides some steps that augment a document with fields that enable spotlight-specific features, but you'll need to add a transform step to appropriately transform your source object to any number of application-specific metadata fields.

Here's an example of overriding the indexing pipeline for a contrived resource class.

class MyResourceClass < Spotlight::Resource
  def self.indexing_pipeline
    @indexing_pipeline ||= super.dup.tap do |pipeline|
      # Override the default indexing pipeline to add our application-specific logic; in this case, the `#to_solr` method will be
      # called on the source object (which.. because we don't override the `pipeline.sources` at all.. is just the resource instance itself) 
      pipeline.transforms = [Spotlight::Etl::Transforms::SourceMethodTransform(:to_solr)] + pipeline.transforms
    end
  end

  def to_solr
    { id: id, title_field: xml_document.xpath('//title'), ...  }
  end
end

Other examples of this new pattern include:

• https://github.com/projectblacklight/spotlight/blob/master/app/models/spotlight/resources/upload.rb
• https://github.com/sul-dlss/exhibits/blob/master/app/models/dor_harvester.rb
• https://github.com/sul-dlss/exhibits/blob/master/app/models/canvas_resource.rb

Other backwards compatibility notes

• Spotlight 2 exhibit exports may not import cleanly into Spotlight 3 applications
