             Summary: Make the AffinityPlacementFactory the default placement 
plugin
                 Key: SOLR-15209
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15209
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
            Reporter: Andrzej Bialecki


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.
