Noble Paul commented on SOLR-8029:
----------------------------------
bq.The old API could be made into v1, pointing the root /solr to v2 by default,
with option to configure it to v1 for people needing to support backward
compatibility with absolutely no impact on their existing client applications.
Changing stuff abruptly will infuriate users. All the existing apps should work
when they move to new Solr. If we fail to do that we will hamper adoption. We
should give users a painless migration path.
> Modernize and standardize Solr APIs
> -----------------------------------

> Key: SOLR-8029
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8029
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 6.0
> Reporter: Noble Paul
> Assignee: Noble Paul
> Labels: API, EaseOfUse
> Fix For: 6.0
>
>
> Solr APIs have organically evolved and they are sometimes inconsistent with
> each other or not in sync with the widely followed conventions of HTTP
> protocol. Trying to make incremental changes to make them modern is like
> applying band-aid. So, we have done a complete rethink of what the APIs
> should be. The most notable aspects of the API are as follows:
> The new set of APIs will be placed under a new path {{/solr2}}. The legacy
> APIs will continue to work under the {{/solr}} path as they used to and they
> will be eventually deprecated.
> There are 3 types of requests in the new API
> * {{/solr2/<collection-name>/*}} : Operations on specific collections
> * {{/solr2/_cluster/*}} : Cluster-wide operations which are not specific to
> any collections.
> * {{/solr2/_node/*}} : Operations on the node receiving the request. This is
> the counter part of the core admin API
> This will be released as part of a major release. Check the link given below
> for the full specification. Your comments are welcome
