Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3619:
------------------------------------

bq. chatting with Hoss and Steve about this they suggested just using 
create_collection and if Solr is running in standalone mode, the Collections 
API just does the right thing and creates the core (vs. erroring out). Anyone 
have any thoughts about this?

That seems reasonable.

bq.  creating a core under the hood when running in standalone mode would 
confuse users as none of the other ‘Collection’ API calls would work though the 
collection creation would succeed

That's why all of the applicable APIs should be made to work.
The other path is to either scale down better by using embedded ZK, or by 
emulating ZK using the filesystem.

I have reservations about launching external ZK processes by default... it 
feels like it could really complicate the new user experience.  (so many 
gotchas in there... another moving part, what happens if ZK comes up but solr 
doesn't, killing Solr is no longer so simple, getting rid of unwanted state is 
no longer simple, etc).
