             Summary: Make SolrClient classes extendable without code 
duplication
                 Key: SOLR-10915
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10915
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: clients - java
            Reporter: Anshum Gupta
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: master (7.0)


SolrClient used to be easily extendable but our move to Builder pattern has 
made it impossible to extend those classes without code duplication. 
As an example, if we wanted to extend HttpSolrClient we would also want to 
extend the Builder. The problem is that the constructor of the main class, does 
not accept the builder object but explicit parameters, and the inherited class 
doesn't have access to any of those values from the Builder object as they are 
all private. 

Generally, we'd want to have the client object constructor accept the Builder, 
instead of explicit values, and also make the Builder values protected so the 
inherited classes could use them.

I'm marking this as a blocker for 7.0 as this is an important piece that needs 
to be fixed before the major release, specially now that we know that this 
problem exists.
