Hoss Man commented on SOLR-5103:
--------------------------------

bq. a self--contained archive of a plugin that can be easily installed (even 
from the UI!) and configured programmatically.

bq. +1 for this! Keep the configuration w/ the plugin and don't require any 
central place to "wire it up".

can someone give me a practical/hypothetical example of what this would look 
like to someone setting up a solr instance?

For all the examples i can think of, this doens't really make sens to me -- 
specifically: all of the existing plugins you can find in "solr/contrib" ... 
are we expecting users to JAR up their own "copy" of DIH with it's config 
inside of it's jar? are we expecting people who want to use the langid update 
processor to re-jar it with some bit of config snippet that tells it what 
fields to populate and what langauge to look for? ... and then what? they drop 
that jar into some directory, and it still does nothing until they 
programatically use some API to say which of their (possibly may) update 
processor chains they want it to be a part of, and where in the chain it should 
execute?

> I think for 5.0, we should make it easier to add plugins by defining a plugin 
> package, ala a Hadoop Job jar, which is a self--contained archive of a plugin 
> that can be easily installed (even from the UI!) and configured 
> programmatically.
