Timothy Potter commented on SOLR-7850:
--------------------------------------

fwiw - my original thinking was that solr.in.sh provided settings that were 
*typical* for users to override and the ones that get defaults in bin/solr were 
less common to be overridden. I'm with this approach too though

> Move user customization out of solr.in.* scripts

> I've seen a fair number of users customizing solr.in.* scripts to make 
> changes to their Solr installs.  I think the documentation suggests this, 
> though I haven't confirmed.
> One possible problem with this is that we might make changes in those scripts 
> which such a user would want in their setup, but if they replace the script 
> with the one in the new version, they will lose their customizations.
> I propose instead that we have the startup script look for and utilize a user 
> customization script, in a similar manner to linux init scripts that look for 
> /etc/default/packagename, but are able to function without it.  I'm not 
> entirely sure where the script should live or what it should be called.  One 
> idea is server/etc/userconfig.\{sh,cmd\} ... but I haven't put a lot of 
> thought into it yet.
> If the internal behavior of our scripts is largely replaced by a small java 
> app as detailed in SOLR-7043, then the same thing should apply there -- have 
> a config file for a user to specify settings, but work perfectly if that 
> config file is absent.
