Hey @HoustonPutman Thanks for chiming in. A few replies inline. > what does this provide over running Zeppelin locally yourself? It automates all of the needed setup behind a single command: `bin/solr zeppelin bootstrap`. So in a word: convenience. You're right that Solr doesn't "know" about Zeppelin the same way that it knows about ZK, though Zeppelin isn't a totally random tool either. Our ["Math Expressions" docs](https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_8/math-expressions.html) make heavy use of Zeppelin screenshots, for instance. > I can see the use case for solr-bin add-ons, kind of like how kubectl does plugins. I tried making [making a proper Solr plugin out of this](https://github.com/gerlowskija/binsolr-zeppelin) a month or so back, but Solr's plugin framework isn't ready for this use case yet. (Currently, the plugin infrastructure lives in CoreContainer so only running Solr nodes have access to plugin jars. I was able to get my plugin installed, but SolrCLI couldn't see it to run ZeppelinTool). That's all to say - I'm only going the direct bin/solr route here because other attempts at a plugin setup failed. Can you expand on the kubectl-plugin-like approach you have in mind? I'm not against it necessarily, but I'm not sure I understand the benefits yet. The large majority of the zeppelin integration logic lives in Java, with `bin/solr` really just being a passthrough call into Java-land. What does moving that passthrough over to `bin/plugins/zeppelin.sh` really get us? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
