Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-5287:
--------------------------------------
Mark:
I took Uwe's revert comment as a response to _my_ comment that I'd
be going away soon, I specifically asked for volunteers helping with the
revert if I can't get to it. So that's fine, no revert wars here.
The question is "revert or disable by default" I think. I agree with Uwe's
point that it will be enabled then forgotten, but I'm not sure how far we
can protect people from shooting themselves in the foot.
I'm seeing if I can get a clean revert locally just to have it ready.
I'd like to get one or the other done ASAP on the theory that I'd really hate
to do either one on the way out the door for a month. I don't intend
to commit either before, probably, Tuesday to let people who are on
vacation weigh in on which way to go.
Thanks for the offer to help! I'll see if I need to take you up on it,
depending on what the decision is.

> A user asking a question on the Solr list got me to thinking about editing
> the main config files from the Solr admin screen. I chatted briefly with
> [~steffkes] about the mechanics of this on the browser side, he doesn't see a
> problem on that end. His comment is there's no end point that'll write the
> file back.
> Am I missing something here or is this actually not a hard problem? I see a
> couple of issues off the bat, neither of which seem troublesome.
> 1> file permissions. I'd imagine lots of installations will get file
> permission exceptions if Solr tries to write the file out. Well, do a
> chmod/chown.
> 2> screwing up the system maliciously or not. I don't think this is an issue,
> this would be part of the admin handler after all.
> Does anyone have objections to the idea? And how does this fit into the work
> that [[email protected]] has been doing?
> I can imagine this extending to SolrCloud with a "push this to ZK" option or
> something like that, perhaps not in V1 unless it's easy.....
> Of course any pointers gratefully received. Especially ones that start with
> "Don't waste your effort, it'll never work (or be accepted)"...
> Because what scares me is this seems like such an easy thing to do that would
> be a significant ease-of-use improvement, so there _has_ to be something I'm
> missing.
> So if we go forward with this we'll make this the umbrella JIRA, the two
> immediate sub-JIRAs that spring to mind will be the UI work and the endpoints
> for the UI work to use.
> I think there are only two end-points here
> 1> list all the files in the conf (or arbitrary from <solr_home>/collection)
> directory.
> 2> write this text to this file
> Possibly later we could add "clone the configs from coreX to coreY".
> BTW, I've assigned this to myself so I don't lose it, but if anyone wants to
> take it over it won't hurt my feelings a bit....
