Mark Miller commented on SOLR-6761:
-----------------------------------

+1, good idea Tim. I think it can make sense to use commitWithin from the 
client exclusively with SolrCloud, but only when a knowledgeable/expert 
person/team owns the service. That is very often not the case due to a variety 
of reasons in my experience. Solr is often deployed in situations where an 
administrator needs to protect the service from a variety of users with varying 
expertise.

I agree with Ram though - I think it makes more sense to make sure the client 
knows it cannot call commit and adjusts behavior. We just need a useful error 
message.

> In most SolrCloud environments, it's advisable to only rely on auto-commits 
> (soft and hard) configured in solrconfig.xml and not send explicit commit 
> requests from client applications. In fact, I've seen cases where improperly 
> coded client applications can send commit requests too frequently, which can 
> lead to harming the cluster's health. 
> As a system administrator, I'd like the ability to disallow commit requests 
> from client applications. Ideally, I could configure the updateHandler to 
> ignore the requests and return an HTTP response code of my choosing as I may 
> not want to break existing client applications by returning an error. In 
> other words, I may want to just return 200 vs. 405. The same goes for 
> optimize requests.
