Hi all, There's an inconsistency in how Solr validates collection names between creating a collection through the Collection API (org.apache.solr.handler.admin.api.CreateCollectionAPI.java#L405, via the SolrIdentifierValidator) and through the Package Manager (org.apache.solr.packagemanager.PackageUtils.java#L271 with an inline regex).
I'd like to update the Package Manager to use the more expansive identifierPattern (which allows for collections containing a '.' character, as our collections use semantic versioning as a naming convention), but I couldn't find any concrete details on what the supported naming convention was for Solr 9 nor any relevant discussion in the last 24 months in the email archive (lists.apache.org/list.html). Question 1: Is there anywhere this information exists (so I can do proper due diligence in future), and/or is a search through Slack/email archive generally sufficient to open a JIRA ticket? Question 2: Should a minor change like this be discussed in email or against an open PR? I'm still getting used to the Apache ways of working, apologies if I've missed the point on the email approach! Cheers, Will
