: I want to customize Solr Admin Page. I think that I will need more : complicated things to manage my cloud. I will separate my Solr cluster into : just indexing ones and just response ones. I will index my documents by : categorical and I will index them at different collections.
A key design choice about the 4.x Solr Admin UI is that it is enitrely powered by javascript accessing machine parsable HTTP APIs under the covers -- so anything the Admin UI can do, you can also do in a custom UI by talking to Solr via HTTP and parsing the xml/json response. If you have ideas for generic functionality that you think could benefit nay SolrClod user, i would suggest youu implement that functionality as a patch against hte existing UI, and submit it for inclusion in Solr... https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute ...if the functionality ou have in mind is very specific to your usecases, you *might* find the "admin extra" include cabability suitable enough for adding links/buttons/info into hte existing admin pages using javascript to trigger (local) HTTP API calls, but if not then impelementing a seperate application (in whatever langauge you choose) to talk to Solr via HTTP would be the best bet. https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/solr/example/solr/collection1/conf/admin-extra.html https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/solr/example/solr/collection1/conf/admin-extra.menu-top.html https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk/solr/example/solr/collection1/conf/admin-extra.menu-bottom.html -Hoss
