Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-3619:
------------------------------------

I am resistant (but not completely opposed) to always running in cloud mode, 
even for a simple single-server install.  This is my position regardless of 
whether ZK is embedded or external.  I realize that it is probably where Solr 
is headed and that I shouldn't fight it, but I already see a lot of confusion 
from users who want to edit their config on disk and restart, just like they do 
for any other program they might download and use.

For that simple single-server install, an embedded ZK makes a lot of sense, but 
we do need to have documentation that guides a user towards a fully external 3 
node ensemble once they get beyond a proof of concept.  I also think we should 
recommend a ZK chroot, but that may be a discussion much further down the road.

It's a good idea to have a single "create collection" command, whether the 
actual thing that will be created is a collection or a core.  A prominent FAQ 
item (or perhaps an entire dedicated wiki page) needs to discuss the finer 
points of our terminology -- collection, shard, replica, core ... but I think 
the user needs to be initially directed to always think about a "collection" 
... understanding the makeup below that is important, but shouldn't muddy the 
user's first contact with Solr.

Has anyone given any thought to deprecating the CoreAdmin API and extending the 
Collections API to handle everything it currently does, by using a parameter to 
tell it that the operation is at the core level?
