Xinet 19 ships with a new version of Solr (Solr 6.2.1) to improve stability and performance. This new version requires your Solr search index to be reindexed, and to ensure this happens the Xinet19 installer automatically deletes the old Solr index, which would no longer be functional due to incompatibilities in data formats between Solr versions. You will need to reindex your Solr index database. This may take some time to complete, depending on the size of your Xinet environment. Please be aware that Java 1.8 is required to run Solr 6.2.1. If you are not already running Java 1.8, we recommend upgrading to this version prior to the Xinet installation.
