Mark Miller commented on SOLR-4725:
-----------------------------------
bq. I think that a message should be logged saying that certain API actions
like SWAP and RENAME will not be available
-1, these should not become unavailable because of something like that.
bq. cores named on the API call in the 'core' and 'other' parameters.
That is irrespective of this issue - the name is a required param for core
admin calls.
> Should we stop supporting "name" and "dataDir" in the autodiscover mode?

> Making this a blocker so we resolve it. Should be quick to code if we have
> consensus, maybe nothing at all to do here.
> I'm not too happy with the fact that the new core discovery process has two
> real gotcha's. The individual core.properties file can define 'name' and
> 'dataDir'. It seems too easy to either use the same name for two different
> cores or use the same dataDir, just copy the core.properties file around and
> fail to edit one them. In large installations this could be a bear to track
> down.
> Straw-man proposal is the we remove support for them both in discovery mode.
> The name defaults to the directory in which core.properties is found and the
> data dir is immediately below there.
> Currently, there are checks to fail to load either core if either 'name' or
> 'dataDir' is defined in more than one core. I think the error reporting is
> weak, you probably have to look in the log file and there should be a way to
> get this in the admin UI at least.
> Maybe the right thing to do is just leave it as-is and emphasize that
> specifying the dataDir and name is expert level and you have to get it right,
> but I wanted to get wider exposure to the problem before we push 4.3 out.
