>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>      Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)

> On SOLR-11654 we noticed that SolrClient#add has 10 overloaded methods which 
> can be very confusing to new users.
> Also the UpdateRequest class is public so that means if a user is looking for 
> a custom combination they can always choose to do so by writing a couple of 
> lines of code.
> For 8.0 which might not be very far away we can improve this situation

> Quoting David from SOLR-11654
> {quote}Any way I guess we'll leave SolrClient alone.  Thanks for your input 
> Varun.  Yes it's a shame there are so many darned overloaded methods... I 
> think it's a large part due to the optional "collection" parameter which like 
> doubles the methods!  I've been bitten several times writing SolrJ code that 
> doesn't use the right overloaded version (forgot to specify collection).  I 
> think for 8.0, *either* all SolrClient methods without "collection" can be 
> removed in favor of insisting you use the overloaded variant accepting a 
> collection, *or* SolrClient itself could be locked down to one collection at 
> the time you create it *or* have a CollectionSolrClient interface retrieved 
> from a SolrClient.withCollection(collection) in which all the operations that 
> require a SolrClient are on that interface and not SolrClient proper.  
> Several ideas to consider.
