Eeh, no - this is community over code.
To be frank, I have a very hard time grasping the 10.000ft vision behind the
current blob package effort, what the big picture is, how it will work our for
users (small and large), and what about 3rd party plugin developers etc (which
was my main focus for the Pf4J effort). This is a too big/important of an
improvement for Solr to just slide in under the radar in a series commits
without taking time to anchor the master plan and chosen design in the
community.
{quote}Jans plugin package mechanism required users to build their custom
packages. In this case you could deploy your existing jars without any
modification. You don't have to do anything special
{quote}
No, users won't have to do anything. We as committers publish the packages. 3rd
party plugin developers on GitHub publish their Solr plugins as packages. Users
just do {{bin/solr install <package-name>}}. And the packages are not custom,
they follow the well-defined PF4J format. Which is pluggable and extensible.
One of the supported package formats is a JAR with a few extra lines in the
MANIFEST. Or an existing JAR with the manifest as a separate file. Or whatever
we agree to define. But there needs to be a manifest declaring the name,
version and dependencies, else it's not a package.
