Houston Putman commented on SOLR-16842:
---------------------------------------
So there is a dichotomy with regards to version commands on command line tools.
Nowadays, and particular in programs written in go, {{<program> version}} is a
common paradigm. Historically, {{<program> -v}} or {{<program> --version}} were
popular.
Personally, I think {{version}} makes the most sense, since you are commanding
that solr output its version. And given this is already the functionality, I
don't see a need to change it.
The code we are saving here is pretty small, so I don't have an issue keeping
it around (and introducing --version, because why not?). But otherwise removing
the {{version}} option all together would just be making a set of 4 elements a
set of 3 elements. Not much saved.
