Cassandra Targett commented on SOLR-10272:
------------------------------------------
I know this issue is about making the configName param optional, but what if we
just pre-loaded all three examples at initial startup? It wouldn't remove the
requirement that the configName param is specified, but it removes the need to
pre-upload it. The CLI already requires you to choose one, but API users could
use the Config API's LIST command to get a list of them, and UI users would see
all of them in the UI to choose from.
Just throwing it out there - IMO it could accomplish a lot of the ease-of-use
goals behind the idea for this issue, but doesn't require us to redo any
examples or come up with odd names (like "_default") that aren't used anywhere
else in the software.
> Use a default configset and make the configName parameter optional.

> This Jira's motivation is to improve the creating a collection experience
> better for users.
> To create a collection we need to specify a configName that needs to be
> present in ZK. When a new user is starting Solr why should he worry about
> having to know about configsets before he can can create a collection.
> When you create a collection using "bin/solr create" the script uploads a
> configset and references it. This is great. We should extend this idea to API
> users as well.
> So here is the rough outline of what I think we can do here:
> 1. When you start solr , the bin script checks to see if
> "/configs/_baseConfigSet" znode is present . If not it uploads the
> "basic_configs".
> We can discuss if its the "basic_configs" or something other default config
> set.
> Also we can discuss the name for "/_baseConfigSet". Moving on though
> 2. When a user creates a collection from the API
> {{admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=gettingstarted}} here is what we do :
> Use https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/ConfigSets+API to copy
> over the default config set to a configset with the name of the collection
> specified.
> collection.configName can truly be an optional parameter. If its specified we
> don't need to do this step.
> 3. Have the bin scripts use this and remove the logic built in there to do
> the same thing.
