Noble Paul commented on SOLR-725:
---------------------------------
bq.As is, it does not remove any feature nor forces anyone into using them;
thus, it's not breaking anything nor does it make your use-cases more difficult
I understand your argument.But, when I put in a feature I may have to try to
make it work w/ all possible scenarios (ALIAS/RENAME being one of them). Once
this is in , it becomes the responsibility of every component writer to do so.
bq.Allowing more ways to alias a core is an easier path (no pun intended) to
this than constraining users into having just one.
It is better to provide a limited set of features which are consistent than
providing all the possible features . That makes life easier for all developers
(less, simpler code , less documentation/caveats).
It is fine to do so if that is a very important feature and there are usecases
to support that.
bq.I can even dedicate a URL to replication that is not something my end-users
replication is not special. It is a normal request handler so having a
dedicated URL is special treatment to one handler. We must not add special
privileges unless we have to.

>
> These 3 classes and the name vs alias handling are somewhat confusing.
> The recent SOLR-647 & SOLR-716 have created a bit of a flux.
> This issue attemps to clarify the model and the list of operations.
> h3. CoreDescriptor: describes the parameters of a SolrCore
> h4. Definitions
> * has one name
> ** The CoreDescriptor name may represent multiple aliases; in that
> case, first alias is the SolrCore name
> * has one instance directory location
> * has one config & schema name
> h4. Operations
> The class is only a parameter passing facility
> h3. SolrCore: manages a Lucene index
> h4. Definitions
> * has one unique *name* (in the CoreContainer)
> ** the *name* is used in JMX to identify the core
> * has one current set of *aliases*
> ** the name is the first alias
> h4. Name & alias operations
> * *get name/aliases*: obvious
> * *alias*: adds an alias to this SolrCore
> * *unalias*: removes an alias from this SolrCore
> * *name*: sets the SolrCore name
> ** potentially impacts JMX registration
> * *rename*: picks a new name from the SolrCore aliases
> ** triggered when alias name is already in use
> h3. CoreContainer: manages all relations between cores & descriptors
> h4. Definitions
> * has a set of aliases (each of them pointing to one core)
> ** ensure alias uniqueness.
> h4. SolrCore instance operations
> * *load*: makes a SolrCore available for requests
> ** creates a SolrCore
> ** registers all SolrCore aliases in the aliases set
> ** (load = create + register)
> * *unload*: removes a core idenitified by one of its aliases
> ** stops handling the Lucene index
> ** all SolrCore aliases are removed
> * *reload*: recreate the core identified by one of its aliases
> * *create*: create a core from a CoreDescriptor
> ** readies up the Lucene index
> * *register*: registers all aliases of a SolrCore
>
> h4. SolrCore alias operations
> * *swap*: swaps 2 aliases
> ** method: swap
> * *alias*: creates 1 alias for a core, potentially unaliasing a
> previously used alias
> ** The SolrCore name being an alias, this operation might trigger
> a SolrCore rename
> * *unalias*: removes 1 alias for a core
> ** The SolrCore name being an alias, this operation might trigger
> a SolrCore rename
> * *rename*: renames a core
> h3. CoreAdminHandler: handles CoreContainer operations
> * *load*/*create*: CoreContainer load
> * *unload*: CoreContainer unload
> * *reload*: CoreContainer reload
> * *swap*: CoreContainer swap
> * *alias*: CoreContainer alias
> * *unalias*: CoreContainer unalias
> * *rename*: CoreContainer rename
> * *persist*: CoreContainer persist, writes the solr.xml
> * *stauts*: returns the status of all/one SolrCore
