If you don't want longer URL, do use solr.xml and use @adminPath and
@defaultCoreName
parameters. But you don't need the rest.
I'm relatively sure that defaultCoreName isn't there if you use the new
core discovery mode that is default in the 4.4 example. This new mode
will be the only option in 5.0. The old mode will continue to be
supported throughout all 4.x versions.
I think getting rid of defaultCoreName is the right move - Solr has been
multicore in the standard example for quite some time. Accessing Solr
without a corename in the URL is a source of confusion for users when
they venture outside the collection1 core that comes with the default
example.
IMHO, the additional capability and confusion inherent with SolrCloud
makes it even more important that the user include a collection/core
name when making their request.
