David Smiley commented on SOLR-10272:
-------------------------------------
Thanks for doing this [~ichattopadhyaya]; overall your plan looks great.
But I'm concerned about the choice of the "data driven" configset being chosen
as the default. The "data driven" feature is really only appropriate for
fooling around; we shouldn't elevate it's status as the new default. I recall
a conversation I had with [~noble.paul] and [~varunthacker] in person in
February and, I could be mistaken, but I think the 3 of us liked the idea of a
default configset that could be used that had the
"add-unknown-fields-to-the-schema" URP chain configured and available but not
registered by default by /update. For example, perhaps a different
/update/createSchema or something like that? Heck; it could even be an URP
chain that deliberately has no RunUpdateProcessorFactory if it's job is purely
to create the schema for you. I think [~hossman] had a similar idea discussed
with us all at the last Lucene/Solr Revolution. I loved the idea!
> 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.
