   The next component Linux From Scratch has you install into your new system is BinUtils, but since that's a vital part of the build system leading me to having already having covered it's complexities ( https://adrian.geek.nz/gnu_docs/c-compilation#gnu-binutils ) I'll instead study more of Apache Solr.

   Apache Solr largely consists of a plugin system, & today I'll go over a utility class for managing those plugins.

     This plugin system includes a static mapping & a logger for global data.

     It can fill defaults into network requests, with the aid of a support routine.

     There's a utility abstracting results counting, & another to split words.

     There's a routine for loading documents, unless lazy-field-loading is enabled, with or without calling into a match highlighter into the request's index.

     There's a couple routines for managing debug flags. And routines to serialize debugging.

     2/3?

     There's a utility for running the Solr query & command parsers, handing those off to the request's searcher, with error handling.

     There's fields parsers.

     There's a couple counting routines setting minimum thresholds, & wrappers thereof.

     There's an optimizer for boolean queries. There's a string escaper.

     Various regexes & wrappers thereof.

     Quote balancing. Null-stripping. Datatype conversion.

     A disjunction query-parser class, tracking a hashmap of aliases.

     3/4!

     There's abstractions around sort-parsing. And more abstractions around query parsing.

     Introspective setter-callers.

     Getters for the query's "purpose".

     And seamingly nothing actually related to plugins, regardless of what this class's name says.

     3.5/3.5 Fin! I'm not sure this thread's actually worth publishing?

     When I next get back to this I'll start skimming over the entirity of Solr & seeing if there's anything worth commenting upon!
