ignore option in core discovery mode?

[Erick Erickson <er...@gmail.com>]

What do people think about allowing an option in "core.properties" files
like ignoreMe=true|false (default to false)? I was thinking it might be
useful to temporarily have Solr ignore a core without having to physically
remove it.

I suppose you could really do the same thing by renaming the file to
something besides "core.properties" too.

Worth the bother?

Right, that's the way I was leaning. I could argue that there's some
value in stopping the recursion, one would continue on past the
core.properties.bak file into the conf and data dirs, but I really don't
think
that's persuasive.

'...file to something besides "core.properties" too.'
should have read
'...file to something besides "core.properties" instead.'

So no code change it is.

It's a good idea.

But I think that negates the need for any additional code. Adding a .bak seem like a fine way to handle this and it adds no code.

So I'd vote for no change, other than perhaps a doc note that mentions this use case or something.
