Support pluggable peristence/loading of solr.xml details
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-1306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1306
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Noble Paul


Persisting and loading details from one xml is fine if the no:of cores are 
small and the no:of cores are few/fixed . If there are 10's of thousands of 
cores in a single box adding a new core (with persistent=true) becomes very 
expensive because every core creation has to write this huge xml. 

Moreover , there is a good chance that the file gets corrupted and all the 
cores become unusable . In that case I would prefer it to be stored in a 
centralized DB which is backed up/replicated and all the information is 
available in a centralized location. 

We may need to refactor CoreContainer to have a pluggable implementation which 
can load/persist the details . The default implementation should write/read 
from/to solr.xml . And the class should be pluggable as follows in solr.xml
{code:xml}
<solr dataProvider="com.foo.FoodataProvider">
</solr>
{code}
There will be a new interface (or abstract class ) called SolrDataProvider 
which this class must implement
