So this works for all servers pointing to the central verity collections?
--> this I can understand.
What about the Spectra server that created the collection?
What if you only have one server and not a cluster?
--> without removing the registry entry it will still be using VDK
--> the collection alias for K2 must be unique on the K2 server
What if you accidentally create a collection on one of the Spectra servers
pointing to the central server?
--> again you start using VDK without removing the registry entry
--> pretty easy to do for categories and keywords
I thought the easiest way to get around this would be to set up an alias to
the collection you are after, for example:
--> cfa_metadata_keywords_k2
Then modify the relevant spectra tags to look for it. Perhaps an attribute
to use K2 could be made available.
