Jack Krupansky commented on SOLR-4902:
--------------------------------------

bq. the default core in the example is named 'collection1' although it is not 
in fact a collection.

Could you clarify that comment? I mean, how is it not a collection? Just 
because a collection exists only for a single shard on a single node doesn't 
make it not a collection. Sure, it happens to be a single core as well, but 
that doesn't make it not a collection. The term "collection" refers primarily 
to the data - a "logical index", which may or may not reside on a single Solr 
core.

Think of a core as a "box" and your data or logical index as a "collection". 
Sure you need a box to contain your collection, but the box and what it 
contains are distinct. In the real world we label boxes, usually by the name of 
what is going into the box rather than the nature of the box itself.
