I think it's just if you want a richer syntax for naming things or
not. I agree, it does add complexity because now everything has two
names! But I liken it somewhat to the parameters for a command line
app. I can do "svn update" or "svn up". And when I am first learning
a new command line app, I tend to use the longer name because it is
more english like. But as I run the same command over and over, I
learn the shortcut name.

assuming that there are no name collisions shorter ones are ok for

I wonder if we could use either for the various param names that
can be used
in either solrconfig.xml or passed in via request? Use either
"fields" or
"fl"? As we add more rich functionality like in the extractor
aren't we
going to be passing more and more params, and having long names is
much
easier to read. And then for those optimizing performance, they
can swap to
the short names?

+1 for names in its actual form as long as it is not very long. In
config it is nice to see long names becaase it enhances readability.
But ,for request params, short ones are better because that price is
paid by each request. imagine 'facetQuery' instead of 'fq' or fields
instead of 'fl'

OK, color me confused about how naming should be done for
params. There
clearly seems to be two camps in Solr-land: 1. those who
abbreviate
params
and 2. those who don't. Pick your sides, please! ;-)
On SOLR-284 and SOLR-769, I had "long" names and Yonik changed
them to be
shorter ("uprefix", anyone? Bueller? Yeah, it means unknown
prefix).
On
SOLR-1237, the general feedback is that evt should be event and
that
newSrchr should be newSearcher or new_searcher or something like
that.
The
SpellCheckComp. tends to be verbose, while faceting tends to be
succinct.
Thus, I'd like to suggest we layout some conventions for naming,
as I
personally am confused. Once we do this, we can wiki it up and
then
have
something to refer others too.
