I wish to seek a nomenclature decision.  I make the following assertions:

(A) a Solr *node* has two modes:
* SolrCloud
* standalone

(B) a Solr *cluster* has two types:
* SolrCloud
* user managed

Thus the words "standalone" and "user managed" have their place depending on 
context.  There is too much precedent for the word "standalone" to ignore it, 
and it's a fine word for the context in which I propose it here.  On the other 
hand, it's not a suitable word to characterize a cluster, and hence we have the 
term "user managed" that Cassandra championed.

Consequence (just listing one for now):
* When you start a Solr node, the flag "--user-managed" shall be renamed to 
"--standalone".

Perhaps Eric might argue for "--solrcloud-enabled=false" as he has sought 
standardizing on all binary decisions that could be expressed with an "enabled" 
suffix to do so... albeit I think in this case, it doesn't look as nice to me.  
But I don't mind.
