I hear you and sympathize but "SolrCloud" has been used long enough that I doubt the trouble is worth it. I guess that makes me "+0". That said, I think it wouldn't hurt to formalize "standalone mode" as-such and perhaps say more explicitly that SolrCloud == "cluster mode" even if we don't eliminate SolrCloud terminology.
And as SolrCloud ... errr... "cluster mode" I mean, gains in usage relative to "standalone mode", perhaps we can reference SolrCloud less often and sorta assume that and instead make exceptions in documentation to standalone mode specifics where we call that out as such. It's a loose idea; I'm don't have an example in mind. Similar to the above notion, maybe "CloudSolrClient" could be more invisible without renaming it. Imagine SolrClient.createFromZooKeeper() etc. static methods that instantiate CloudSolrClient by default. Just a thought. ~ David Smiley Apache Lucene/Solr Search Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley On Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 11:19 AM Shawn Heisey <apa...@elyograg.org> wrote: > On 9/30/2019 6:59 AM, Ishan Chattopadhyaya wrote: > > I propose that we rename SolrCloud mode to "cluster mode" such that > > there shall be "Apache Solr", running in either "standalone mode" or > > "cluster mode".
