[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-7043) Refactor SolrCLI, bin\solr, bin\solr.cmd to be more unit-testable and less OS specific

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7043?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14653909#comment-14653909 ] 

Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-7043:
-----------------------------------

bq. I do like the idea of having a configuration file for Solr startup, but it should be in one of the two config languages which are predominant in Solr already – .xml and .properties. I cannot debate on the technical merits of yml, because I know nothing at all about it.

Both YML and .properties are nice since they are less verbose than XML/JSON. You can simply start typing key:value pairs one per line, exactly like in the current solr.in.* files. YML has the benefit over .properties in that it supports lists and other data types should that be needed later. If we go for YML it could be {{solr.yml}}, but we should not name it {{solr.properties}} since that can be confused with {{$SOLR_HOME/solr.properties}}.

> With the 5.0 release, we've reached critical mass with the bin/solr script interface, but we've picked up some cruft along the way. Specifically, there's too much OS-specific constructs in the scripts and they are quite complex overall. They also require extensive manual testing. Moreover, SolrCLI (provides support for the scripts) needs to be refactored to use the Collections API support added to SolrJ instead of using low-level JSON / HTTP constructs. SolrCLI is also in desperate need of a unit test. The overall goal of this ticket is to move as much as possible out of the shell scripts and into SolrCLI, thus increasing test coverage.
