-------------------------------------
Summary: Clean up Servlets APIs, Kill SolrDispatchFilter, simplify
API creation
Key: SOLR-5091
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5091
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Grant Ingersoll
Fix For: 5.0
This is an issue to track a series of sub issues related to deprecated and
crufty Servlet/REST API code. I'll create sub-tasks to manage them.
# Clean up all the old UI stuff (old redirects)
# Kill/Simplify SolrDispatchFilter -- for instance, why not make the user
always have a core name in 5.0? i.e. /collection1 is the default core
## I'd like to move to just using Guice's servlet extension to do this, which,
I think will also make it easier to run Solr in other containers (i.e.
non-servlet environments) due to the fact that you don't have to tie the
request handling logic specifically to a Servlet.
# Simplify the creation and testing of REST and other APIs via Guice + Restlet,
which I've done on a number of occasions.
## It might be also possible to move all of the APIs onto Restlet and maintain
back compat through a simple restlet proxy (still exploring this). This would
also have the benefit of abstracting the core request processing out of the
Servlet context and make that an implementation detail.
## Moving to Guice, IMO, will make it easier to isolate and test individual
components by being able to inject mocks easier.
I am close to a working patch for some of this. I will post incremental
updates/issues as I move forward on this, but I think we should take 5.x as an
opportunity to be more agnostic of container and I believe the approach I have
in mind will do so.
