-----------------------------------------------------------
This one change has the potential to cleanup a lot of ugly XPath reading in our
code. The intend here is to cleanup our internal code if needed. In many places
(eg:updateHandler , SOLR-660 etc) we have a simple format but the parsing code
is still ugly.
Another interesting point I observe in that many of our components are not
_NamedListInitializedPlugin_ Just because of this one reason. They will have to
stick to this ugly format. So what happens is, components take in an XML Node
to parse their custom XML
One point that all of us accept is that the current format is ugly. Moreover ,
the NameList format is no XML standard . It is just *another* response format
for SOLR output . My request is let us *please* not impose a weird format on
component writers . Let us give choice to component writers who use Solr1.3
release as their base. The longer we delay this harder it gets to change this.

> All the components initialized by Solr have an init(NamedList args)
> initializer. This leads us to writing the configuration needed for the
> component in the NamedList xml format. People familiar with Solr may know the
> format but most of what is written is noise than information. For users who
> are not familiar w/ the format find it too difficult to understand why they
> have to write it this way. Moreover , it is not a very efficient way to
> configure .
