[Go-essp-tech] 2.0.0-ALPHA1 release of the gateway now available

[Karl Taylor]

Dear Nathan and development team,

You indicate that some of the search-related problems have been fixed.  
A week or 2 ago, I think I saw a mock-up of the Apache SOLR based 
engine, and it looked much improved.  Could you tell me whether the new 
search engine will see *all* the datasets, even the one the present 
search appears to miss?  There were a few messages sent to the esg help 
desk recently about this.  One is copied below:

Subject: CNRM-CM5 datasets disappeared?

Hi, couple of weeks ago I was able to retrieve CNRM-CM5 atmosphere 
monthly frequency datasets for experiment RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. But these 
datasets seem to be missing from your portal now. Were there problems 
with the datasets, thus the removal from the system? Please advise.

Thanks,
Derek

One explanation offered, which assumed that access by Derek was through 
PCMDI, was that perhaps the older gateway version in use at PCMDI might 
be responsible.  If so, I guess we won't know if it has been fixed until 
the newer version is installed.

thanks,
Karl
