Steve Molloy commented on SOLR-8029:
------------------------------------
bq. 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.
Agreed, this is why I propose to have the current API URL point to the URL with
/v1 or /v2 in it. Making the choice of default version configurable would allow
people to use the API they want as they were using it in previous version, then
start migrating slowly, at their own pace, to the new version by using /v2 URl
in client code using new API. Once everything is updated, they could change
default version configured and not have to change their client code. With this
approach, the same would apply if in some years we decide to have a v3 API for
whatever reason.
> 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
