Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-10272:
---------------------------------------
bq: Also, the Collection API's CREATE command should optionally accept a
configset (zipped),
Be careful here. See SOLR-5287, particularly Uwe's comments on 3-Nov-13 and
following on that JIRA. Allowing someone to upload arbitrary files with
XML/XSL has security implications. For the functionality you mention, the
zipped files could be anything. I can't claim to understand the details, but
before putting the work into it we should check this out.
Stefan and I had this _brilliant_ idea to allow editing schema and config from
the UI that...er...wasn't so brilliant.
> Use a default configset and make the configName parameter optional.

> This Jira's motivation is to improve the creating a collection experience
> better for users.
> To create a collection we need to specify a configName that needs to be
> present in ZK. When a new user is starting Solr why should he worry about
> having to know about configsets before he can can create a collection.
> When you create a collection using "bin/solr create" the script uploads a
> configset and references it. This is great. We should extend this idea to API
> users as well.
> So here is the rough outline of what I think we can do here:
> 1. When you start solr , the bin script checks to see if
> "/configs/_baseConfigSet" znode is present . If not it uploads the
> "basic_configs".
> We can discuss if its the "basic_configs" or something other default config
> set.
> Also we can discuss the name for "/_baseConfigSet". Moving on though
> 2. When a user creates a collection from the API
> {{admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=gettingstarted}} here is what we do :
> Use https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/ConfigSets+API to copy
> over the default config set to a configset with the name of the collection
> specified.
> collection.configName can truly be an optional parameter. If its specified we
> don't need to do this step.
> 3. Have the bin scripts use this and remove the logic built in there to do
> the same thing.
