Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-4431:
------------------------------------
With apologies to Hoss for jumping in and possibly speaking for him:
bq. but then you wouldn't use jetty.xml, or at least you'd have to rename and
modify the file, and you'd certainly see the redirects, and could choose to
retain them or not.
A "typical" tomcat/glassfish/whatever user will never look at jetty.xml. They
would have no reason to - they aren't using jetty. They will use the .war file
and possibly a few of the miscellaneous solr/lucene jars, either in-place in
the solr download or by copying them to a new location. If someone who uses
the included jetty (patched as you propose) were to talk to a tomcat user, they
might say "go to http://localhost:8983/solr/cloud"; to that user. If that
tomcat user had never looked at jetty.xml or had never updated their tomcat
configuration to match the jetty example, the URL would fail.
bq. I'm a bit confused by this, the patch does NOT change the URL structure.
It's just 3 simple 302 redirects.
What I have proposed there is a completely separate change, requiring its own
Jira, which I have created as SOLR-4700. The idea would be that going forward,
we would use http://host:port/solr/XXX/corename as the base URL for clients
instead of http://host:port/solr/corename as we do now. I don't have a good
suggestion for XXX at the moment. If we did that, then you could still create
a collection or core named "cloud" and that would not get in the way of a
convenience URL. At that point the convenience URLs could be baked into Solr
code rather than provided by the servlet container.
> Developer Curb Appeal: easier URLs for Cloud UI, Admin, etc.

>
> Currently the URL to get the cloud UI is
> http://172.16.10.236:8983/solr/#/~cloud
> The path and anchor portion is very strange: "/solr/#/~cloud"
> Ideally it would just be "/cloud"
> Or even just "/", and if it's in "cloud mode", take the admin to the right
> place.
> If there's some internal important structural reason for "/solr", "#" and
> "~cloud" sections, perhaps each would need to be addressed.
> Another option would be to possibly put something the default Jetty xml file
> to handle this as some type of redirect or registered handle.
