             Summary: Improve context-root specifying in SolrJ
                 Key: SOLR-17044
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17044
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: SolrJ, v2 API
            Reporter: Jason Gerlowski


Currently, URL-driven SolrClients receive a URL that typically ends in "/solr". 
 Requiring users to specify this context-root in their URLs has made sense 
historically, since all v1 paths start with "/solr".  But this has become 
limiting as Solr's v2 APIs (which use the "/api" context root) become more 
mature. 

SolrJ has some string manipulation in a few spots to try to accomodate this, 
but it's patchy and relatively brittle (relying on overly specific 'instanceof' 
checks, etc.).  We should come up with a more reliable way to ensure that 
SolrClient's can make both v1 and v2 requests.

Here's one idea for how we could approach this:

# Create a new SolrRequest method to specify the context root on a per-request 
basis.  We could either do this directly (e.g. "getRootPath()"), or indirectly 
(e.g. "isV2()").
# Modify SolrClients to consider both the new method and the existing "getPath" 
when sending requests.
# Add logic to SolrJ to strip "/solr" from any provided base URLs, and document 
that SolrClient URLs no longer require the "/solr" context-root suffix.
