Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-13584: --------------------------------------- SOLR-13122 in particular has some discussion, but changing this behavior is way outside the scope of that JIRA. Anyone working on this should read it though. SOLR-13583 illustrates how allowing aliases and collections to have the same name can and has gone wrong. > Explore prohibiting aliases and collections from having the same name. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-13584 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13584 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Reporter: Erick Erickson > Priority: Major > > Allowing aliases and collections to have the same name is fragile and a > potentially a data issue. I'll link in a few JIRAs illustrating this and one > at least where the discussion gets long. > Straw-man proposal to start things off. > Deprecate this ability now, and enforce it in 9.0. > We have to provide a graceful way for users to get themselves out of the > following currently-possible use-case. > * a collection C1 is created and all the front-end uses it. > * users want to atomically switch to a new collection for various reasons > * users create C2 and test it out. > * users create an alias C1->C2 > Let's discuss. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
