Jason Gerlowski commented on SOLR-18166:
----------------------------------------
One question here is - should we remove "bin/solr zk linkconfig" from
branch_10x as well as 'main'? Or would doing so be a backcompat violation
since the tool hasn't been properly deprecated?
The "letter of the law" would have us keep linkconfig around on branch_10x.
But I'd argue that removing the tool is akin to fixing a bug. At best the tool
is misleading any users who might still use it today, as it is writing data to
a location that Solr will never read from. So while the "letter of the law"
might argue to keep it around through 10.x, I don't think we'd be serving users
in practice by doing so. I'll opt to remove it from both 'main' and
'branch_10x' unless anyone here objects?
> Remove outmoded "bin/solr zk linkconfig" subcommand and related code

> Key: SOLR-18166
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-18166
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scripts and tools
> Affects Versions: main(11.0)
> Reporter: Jason Gerlowski
> Priority: Minor
>
> SOLR-3460 added the "zkcli.sh" script that we shipped with Solr distributions
> for many releases. This tool contained a subcommand, "linkconfig", that
> created a zkNode at the path "/collections/<someCollName>" whose
> contents/data was essentially the configset name.
> This is something that made sense back in the 2012 timeframe when it was
> added. At that time most of the "Collection Admin" or collection CRUD APIs
> we know and love today didn't exist. So this manual "linking" process was a
> required part of creating a new collection.
> But today this code is purely vestigial. There are no usecases that would
> have a user link a config today. And no code in Solr looks for the
> "configName" property at this outmoded location, excepting a few deprecated
> methods that are slated for removal in or after Solr 10.
> I propose in this ticket that we:
> * remove "bin/solr zk linkconfig" (the linkconfig tooling was migrated here
> when zkcli.sh was sunset as a part of SOLR-14115)
> * remove all of the methods and call-sites previously deprecated by
> SOLR-14341
