----------------------------------

             Summary: Use Content-Type header to distinguish single JSON 
document from JSON command object
                 Key: SOLR-18452
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-18452
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: update
            Reporter: Jan Høydahl
            Assignee: Jan Høydahl


Today the /update/json handler will support docs in an array or a single JSON 
object.

If a single object is passed, it is ambigous whether to interpret it as a plain 
JSON document with fields, or to interpret it as Solr's special command JSON 
with "add", "delete" etc commands as JSON keys. Solr uses the request parameter 
json.command to distringuish whether the single JSON doc is a command or a 
document, see SOLR-6294.

This is confusing and non standard.

Instead, Solr should use the standard HTTP header "Content-Type" to know how to 
interpret the body:
 * {{application/json}} will mean plain solr document
 * {{application/vnd.solr.commands+json}} will mean a command object

There will be two sub tasks for this Jira
 # Deprecate the request parameter, and declare that from 11.0 users must use 
the header (10.x)
 # Remove request-param, introduce the header parsing logic as a replacement. 
(11.0)
