Just an FYI of a major change coming and opportunity for feedback. I've worked with Nazerke on SOLR-15258 to do a major refactoring of ConfigSetService to have C.R.U.D. operations for ConfigSet management. The point is to make it more viable to plug in a custom ConfigSetService (recently made possible via SOLR-15100). An example of a realistic implementation would be a file system + ZK hybrid that augments the visible configSets with those from the file system (read-only there). This issue/PR does not provide that but it could be in a future one if others like it.
I plan to merge Friday, subject to review of course. The changes touch some 53 files but to many of those, it's very small. Some of the bigger changes aside from ConfigSetService itself, of course, were in ConfigSetsHandler, and BackupManager. The changes are purely internal. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15258 ~ David Smiley Apache Lucene/Solr Search Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley
