> Ignoring the naming terminology, does the rest of the ref guide reorg make
> sense to you?
So I don't want to ignore the naming terminology which is why I jumped in to
the issue. We discussed it to death 4 or so years ago and reached as much
consensus on "user-managed" as we were going to get on any wording back when
the last round of changes to the Ref Guide were done (3+ years ago). I worked
on it personally. I reviewed every occurrence of "standalone" and rewrote every
sentence so the terminology would be consistent and clear across every single
page. Is that the effort you are doing now? Because it sort of sounds like
moving sections around and otherwise a find/replace action, which I think would
end up with less clarity.
Then, I think "standalone" is just plain incorrect. A "standalone cluster"
makes little sense semantically, it's sort of like "an individual group". This
situation requires really thinking about this (which was done already) and how
it's described and presented to users. People who prefer not to use SolrCloud
do so for what reasons? The Ref Guide needs to reflect how they use it (I think
as a community we have a bias that anyone not using SolrCloud is spinning up
solo instances for quick tests or have very small implementations and that is
definitely not the case).
In fact, I'm a bit unclear on the motivations and goals here - Are there major
confusions occurring the user community? Or do we just want to rename a CLI
command? Why does that mean SolrCloud must be moved to the top of every page?
Does that make sense for every page? (In one specific example, it's not at the
top of the page on purpose...).
I don't see a PR linked here or in the parent issue and I haven't followed
every message on the list in a long time so I really don't know what "the rest
of the ref guide reorg" means in the quoted sentence.
