Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-5466:
--------------------------------------
bq: Even I found this confusing. We should use either one right?
That's what I think, but I also tried a quick hack at it (well, not so quick it
took several hours) and tests immediately started failing so of course I messed
something up. So I think untangling all that is best put in another JIRA so we
don't hold up this functionality for what is essentially cleanup.
About the STATUS command. I see what you mean, it just feels overly complex.
I'd just go for the STATUS returning the clusterstate. Here's why:
1> whatever specifics we put in there are going to require that we maintain it.
Take this example:
STATUS&fl=name,router,replicationFactor
If I have several collections, I now have to define a syntax for what I return
to associate the replicationFactor with Colleciton1, Collection2, etc. Would
it be better just to give them the cluster state and let it go at that?
I think my driving question is whether there's a need to do this that we're
responding to or just doing it because we can. If the latter, I'm neutral to -
on it...

> The collections API lets you add, delete and modify existing collections. At
> the moment the API does not let you get a list of current collections or view
> information about a specific collection.
> The workaround is the use the Zookeeper API to get the list. This makes the
> Collections API harder to work with.
> Adding an action=LIST would significantly improve the function of this API.
