I hear you on the API thing…. One reason why I’ve become more bullish on the Solr CLI is that in the future we’ll have better security. Curl is great until you start needing to generate JWT tokens and participate in an oAuth lifecycle before you can issue a request and then it’s a pain. I’m hoping we get to a point where when you issue a command that you need to be logged in for, the SolrCLI instructs you to open your web page, you log into Solr Admin, and then it grabs that token.
I’m also looking forward to a near future where all the API commands are using out V2 infrastructure, and we can code generate the client. Imagine every API command is just a simple pattern away in the SolrCLI? Without a bunch of hand written code. Assuming we keep the CLI structure for issuing commands, thoughts on what I brought up? > On Jul 8, 2023, at 5:03 PM, Ishan Chattopadhyaya <ichattopadhy...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > I'd rather we remove all three and encourage users to issue API commands > via curl. > > I'm very much in favour of the scripts being used for only essential tasks, > but not for things where the API can be used.
