Thanks, Ishan. Just to be clear, I’m not planning on replacing “SolrCloud” throughout at this time. I feel there are code changes that would need to correspond to that, so it’s a larger effort IMO. The way I put it in the Jira is:
“...Instead I'll augment the use of the word "SolrCloud" with clarification that this term means "coordinated mode". Later if we ever replace SolrCloud references in code and fully remove that name, the conceptual groundwork will have already been laid for users."
