 Another topic for further consideration: the ZF convention is now to use fully-qualified class names as service names, with aliases set up where appropriate. VuFind has historically used short names for most services. This is now awkward in cases where VuFind mixes overrides to ZF services with its own services, as the mix of short and long names looks odd. Should we standardize on the ZF approach, or is that too verbose? (Note that we can merge #1067 before we decide on this issue -- it can always be addressed as a future enhancement). Another topic for further consideration: the ZF convention is now to use fully-qualified class names as service names, with aliases set up where appropriate.

-Demian began experimenting with Solr 7. Due to a change from XML to JSON as default response format, SolrMarc is having trouble indexing to Solr 7, so fixing that is the first priority (Bob is working on it). Additionally, there are some deprecations that will have to be addressed in the schema. Finally, we might want to begin looking at the v2 API, though the legacy API still seems to be fully supported for the moment.+Demian began experimenting with Solr 7.

 +Tod has been working on setting up a test for this. Tod is encountering some volatility in class interfaces, etc., within the Solr code, which adds some extra challenges. No working tests yet, but progress is being made.
