Hoss Man commented on SOLR-1273:
--------------------------------
We should keep the logic and information displayed on distributiondump.jsp
available for people who already use script based replication and want to
upgrade to 1.4 (without switching to java based replication.
My suggestion would be to use a servlet mapping to map the
"distributiondump.jsp" path to "replication/index.jsp" and add logic that JSP
so that if no replication handler is registered, then it falls back to looking
for the data files from script based replication and displays those.
This could also simplify the logic in the admin screen -- instead of displaying
the replication link only when a handler is registered, the link could always
be displayed, and the replication JSP could then have a basic control flow of...
if (replicationHandlersRegistered) {
displayReplicaitonStasAndControls()
} else if (scriptReplicationDataFilesExist) {
displayStatsFromScriptDataFiles()
} else {
displayWarningThatReplicationNotConfigured()
displayLinkToSOlrReplicationWikiPage
}
> rectify confusing "Replication" and "Distribution" links on solr admin screen

>
> Sine 1.0, the Solr Admin screen has had a "Distribution" link which points to
> "distributiondump.jsp" and displays stats according to data files created by
> the snappuller/snapinstaller scripts
> With the new java based replication, when a ReplicationHandler is enabled, we
> now have a "Replication" link on the admin page pointing to
> "replication/index.jsp" which displays stats/status for java based
> replication.
> In at least one instance, these two different links confused a user...

> We need to rectify this confusion prior to releasing 1.4.
