> In SOLR-6952, we changed the create_collection logic to create a copy of a 
> configset in ZooKeeper by default, i.e. if you do {{bin/solr create -c foo}} 
> then then the {{server/solr/configsets/data_driven_schema_configs}} directory 
> is uploaded to ZK as {{/configs/foo}} ... Since it is data driven, the 
> managed schema starts to change as docs flow in ... good so far ... now the 
> user decides to delete the foo collection and re-create it. The delete 
> collection action leaves the /configs/foo directory in ZK and the create 
> action in bin/solr does not overwrite existing files in ZooKeeper. So 
> something very subtle happens, the previous data-driven changes are still in 
> effect, which will be quite confusing for new users who think the delete 
> action removed the configs.
> For now, I think the bin/solr script should handle this on the delete side by:
> 1) checking to make sure the config is not being used by any other collection
> 2) delete the /configs/foo after deleting the collection
> If the check for #1 fails, then the delete will proceed with a simple WARNING 
> that the configs are shared and will not be deleted by this action.
> Looking ahead, we probably want to deal with this copying of configsets and 
> then handling the deletes correctly in the collections API, i.e. right now, 
> the smarts can live in the bin/solr script and SolrCLI but the long-term 
> solution should be to move those smarts into the CREATE and DELETE actions of 
> the Collections API. We also should think about making the concept of a 
> "shared" configuration directory more explicit.
