Varun Thacker commented on SOLR-7374:
-------------------------------------
bq. Also building two parallel implementations for the same functionality
doesn't quite make sense.
Indeed . It's far from ideal right now. We document the core level
backup/restore via the replication handler as thats where it was supported .
With SOLR-5750 a hook to Core Admin to leverage it . It was simply for
convenience and not meant to be made public. Maybe we should fix it leverage
the ReplicationHandler instead . Or we could deprecate the usage via
Replication Handler as it's more of a core admin operation anyways.
But I think let's keep that to a separate Jira/discussion? For the scope of
this Jira can we just support it in ReplicationHandler as well ?

> Currently when we create a backup we use SimpleFSDirectory to write the
> backup indexes. Similarly during a restore we open the index using
> FSDirectory.open .
> We should provide a param called {{directoryImpl}} or {{type}} which will be
> used to specify the Directory implementation to backup the index.
> Likewise during a restore you would need to specify the directory impl which
> was used during backup so that the index can be opened correctly.
> This param will address the problem that currently if a user is running Solr
> on HDFS there is no way to use the backup/restore functionality as the
> directory is hardcoded.
> With this one could be running Solr on a local FS but backup the index on
> HDFS etc.
