             Summary: Deprecate and remove core URLs in HttpSolrClient and 
friends
                 Key: SOLR-17066
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17066
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: SolrJ
            Reporter: Jason Gerlowski


Currently, URL-driven SolrClients can consume a base URL that either ends in an 
API-version specific path ("/solr" for v1 APIs, "/api" for v2), or in the full 
path to a specific core or collection ("/solr/techproducts").

The latter option causes a number of problems in practice.  It prevents the 
client from being used for any "admin" requests or for requests to other cores 
or collections.  (Short of running a regex on {{SolrClient.getBaseURL}}, it's 
hard to even tell which of these restrictions a given client might have.)  And 
lastly, specifying such core/collection URL makes it tough mix and match v1 and 
v2 API requests within the same client (see SOLR-17044).

We should give SolrJ users some similar way to default collection/cores without 
any of these  downsides.  One approach would be to extend the 
{{withDefaultCollection}} pattern currently established in 
{{CloudHttp2SolrClient.Builder}}.

(IMO we should also revisit the division of responsibilities between SolrClient 
and SolrRequest implementations - maybe clients shouldn't, directly at least, 
be holding on to request-specific settings like the core/collection at all.  
But that's a much larger concern that we might not want to wade into here.  See 
SOLR-10466 for more on this topic.)
