Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-15209:
------------------------------------
Can someone sum up what the current default placement does, compared to the
default in 8.11? Perhaps it is close enough to release 9.0 with it?
> Make the AffinityPlacementFactory the default placement plugin

> Key: SOLR-15209
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15209
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki
> Assignee: Ilan Ginzburg
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: main (9.0)
>
>
> Currently there's a lot of code in {{Assign}} dealing with the fact that we
> still support the old "legacy" replica assignment as well as the new
> plugin-based placement strategies.
> Furthermore, the "legacy" assignment is now the default even though it's
> neither robust nor optimal, except in the very simple and small clusters.
> Also, providing another plugin-based placement as the default impl. runs into
> a small complication - in the absence of any plugin config the code reverts
> to the "legacy".
> In order to promote the adoption of the new plugin-based placements we should
> make the {{AffinityPlacementFactory}} the new default placement strategy,
> selected when the explicit configuration is missing (and then create it as a
> default configuration in {{PlacementPluginFactoryLoader}}).
> I propose to re-package the "legacy" strategy as a {{PlacementPluginFactory}}
> so that it can be configured in the same way as other placement plugins.
