Noble Paul commented on SOLR-8029:
----------------------------------
bq.A more REST-standard approach would be preface path parameters with a static
path value (/v2/collections/[collection]).
The argument against this suggestion was that the most common operation on solr
are read and update . These are collection specific. The cluster and node
specific operations are rare . So the idea was to make the commonly used
operations shorter
eg
{{/v2/mycollection/update}}
{{/v2/mycollection/select}}
instead of
{{/v2/collections/mycollection/update}}
{{/v2/collections/mycollection/select}}
If we are willing to accept that {{_node}} and {{_cluster}} are special
keywords , then we make the common operations simple which is performed 100's
of times every second.
bq.at the top-level makes it difficult to add new resources or other paths
All new resources will be added under the {{/v2/_cluster}} and {{/v2/_node}}
paths

> Key: SOLR-8029
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8029
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Noble Paul
> Assignee: Noble Paul
> Labels: API, EaseOfUse
> Fix For: Trunk
>
>
> 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
