Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-6895:
------------------------------------

bq. If a client has SolrJ embedded, then it's got a specifically versioned JAR 
file in it somewhere that it's compiled against. At the moment, there aren't 
any changes to the SolrJ wire protocol, so clients embedding a 4.x jar will 
still work.

Correct, this is what I was talking about when I wrote:
bq. There's probably a ton of code out there that uses SolrJ though - so we 
should strive to either keep SolrJ4 clients compatible with Solr5

bq. If a client wants to upgrade the jar file, then they have to edit their 
source and recompile, but I think that's expected when going over a major 
version bump?

Yes, but we can make that easier or harder.  Being a client interface, we 
should normally still strive for compatibility (in general), and think about 
how to make everyone's life easier when we do make changes.  There's no 
hard-n-fast rules - we should do what makes the most sense.

> This has been niggling at me for a while.  Instantiating a new SolrServer 
> object doesn't create a server, it creates a client.
