A GUI is just one of the multiple interfaces through which a user may interact with Solr. The API is more important. We are starting to move Solr from a config file based system to an API based system where all that you wish to change in a system is accessible through the API (I am talking about

So it just occurred to me to ask why stop with renaming? We're going around the loop again of wouldn't it be nice to edit the configs from a GUI. Or a collections like API to manage configs on Zookeeper. That got me to wondering if XML is really doing us any favors at this point. NOTE: To even

It is the wrong name - mostly because it came from a single core solution. We could change it, but you have to pretty carefully consider how heavily it's embedded out there now. - Mark On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 1:20 PM Shawn Heisey apa...@elyograg.org wrote: On 7/9/2015 10:55 AM, Erick Erickson
