Mar 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-03 focusing on performance optimization and maintenance in archivesspace/archivesspace. Implemented a targeted Solr schema cleanup to remove unused dynamic fields intended for sorting related agents by role. This simplification reduces schema complexity, minimizes indexing overhead, and lowers the risk of performance regressions in search operations. The change was implemented with a single, traceable commit and prepares the ground for more scalable search improvements.
