Hi devs, Although it's been nagging me for a while, today it hit me that the "JSON request API" has a terrible name.
I hope to start a discussion on re-branding it and somehow pitch it as the (not-so-new) "V2" search / facet API. Good timing as part of the other V2 efforts. That may in turn lead to increased usage and take the role as the "standard" search API instead of the "alternative". Of course I know that what we normally mean as "V2" API is the /api/ URL, not the syntax of the payload, i.e. you can do both old-style and JSON-style queries on both V1 adn V2 search endpoint. So I'm not sold on "V2" being the perfect name here. But from a pure branding perspective, signaling that it is the "new" way, perhaps it can fly? See JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-16663 for some initial thougts. Please keep the broader discussion here, and more implementation related input in JIRA. Jan
