Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-6734:
------------------------------------

Some additional detail I thought of for this idea:

 * The agent could listen on a TCP port for connections from agents running on 
other servers.
 ** This would be primarily for SolrCloud, but there might be non-cloud uses 
too.  This would enable stopping and starting of Solr instances across an 
entire cluster.
 ** Not entirely sure about how to configure an entire cluster of agents ... 
perhaps like zookeeper, where all servers contain the entire list of host:port 
pairs.  A centralized config in Zookeeper would not be a bad idea either, as 
long as we have some way of altering or resetting that config.
 ** A shared authentication key and a cluster name in the config would be a 
good idea.  The info in an incoming request would need to validate against 
both, and perhaps even against the host:port list.  This data might also be 
used for TLS.
 * The heap set by the script that starts the agent would be very small.  Even 
with hundreds of servers in the config, I would imagine that the memory 
requirements would be minimal.
 * Most startup options for Solr would be configurable and used by the agent 
when starting Solr.  Thinking about a cluster, we probably would want to have a 
common set of options as well as per-server options that can supplement or 
override common options.
 * We might even be able to control standalone zookeeper processes with this 
agent.
