Support Apache Solr 5.x about ansible-role-solr HOT 6 CLOSED

Geerling, i need support for solr 5. Took a look at your role and i would like to work it out a bit.
What do you say if we use the service installation script instead of the one you wrote?

FWIW, solr 5.x support is very important for Drupal 8 search_api_solr. 4.x will work, however, the new search_api_solr architecture will allow you to configure solr via the drupal UI if you are using solr 5.x.

Heh... something I personally would rather not see happen; letting site admins do things that affect the search index/schema directly is an idea that can end poorly :)

But I understand and would like to get to adding Solr 5 support to the upstream role soon. The main problem is that a lot of little bits of the installation/configuration has changed, enough to where the 3.x/4.x structure that's currently in place will need to be replaced in a backwards-compatible way :(

Doing a little work on this now...

Pushed up a commit that's so far only tested on Debian. Going to do some testing on RedHat and also update tests to use Docker and test a bunch more things.

I can also get rid of the custom init script by using Solr's built-in installation script—see "Run the Solr Installation Script" on this page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Taking+Solr+to+Production
