Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-3619:
---------------------------------------

First off, love the new stuff!

Coming a little late to the party, but just now finally checking this out.  So, 
I built the distro, copied it to a new directory and unpacked it.

I then went to the README which is the first thing I do for any "new" software 
(as I suspect most devs do) and here's what I see:

{quote}
This will launch a Solr server in the background of your shell, bound
to port 8983. After starting Solr, you can create a new core for indexing
your data by doing:

  bin/solr create_core -n <name>
{quote}

and then a few lines later:

{quote}
After starting Solr in cloud mode, you can create a new collection for indexing
your data by doing:

  bin/solr create_collection -n <name>
{quote}

You've already lost me (well, not me, literally, but noobs, I'm sure).  What 
the heck is the diff between a collection and a core and why should I care so 
early on?  Why should I have to know that distinction at this stage of the 
game?  I get that it relates to the Collections API and cloud mode, but I'm a 
new user and that distinction, in my estimation, is at least a day or two away 
(and hopefully is resolved at some point and becomes a non-issue) at which time 
it can be explained via the Docs in the ref guide.

Just my 2 cents.
