Deprecate "standard" writer type (wt), just say "xml".
------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-2394
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2394
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: web gui
Affects Versions: 1.4.1
Reporter: David Smiley
Priority: Minor
I think the "standard" writer type being aliased to "xml" is unnecessary and
not clear. In the full interface screen, imagine you're new to Solr and you
look at the "output type" and you see "standard". What does that mean? "xml"
is pretty clear.
Assuming it's agreed that "standard" isn't of any value, I suggest that it not
necessarily go away (due to backwards compatibility) but that it's existence is
removed from the full interface screen, replaced with "xml". Furthermore, a
picker list would be a better GUI element since there are a small limited fixed
number of them.
Perhaps this small UI change can be considered for 3.1. I'll write a small
patch if there's agreement on the idea.
