[jira] [Resolved] (SOLR-12872) Deprecate split.key parameter in SPLITSHARD API and make it easier to use

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12872?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Anshum Gupta resolved SOLR-12872.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

False alarm. There is some disconnect between what the documentation says and what the code does. I'll fix the documentation as part of SOLR-5004 instead of here and leave the split.key parameter as is.

> While working on SOLR-5004, I realized how confusing the current SPLITSHARD API can get. Here's the current set of options to split a shard:
>  # Specify split.key but not with shard name. Providing the shard name here leads to an exception
>  # Specify ranges with shard name (actually the same as above) but requires the shard name
>  # Not specify ranges OR split.key. This will split the specified shard into 2 from the middle of the hash range.
> split.key is just a syntactic sugar on top of the shard + ranges combination. Ideally, we can even figure out shard name from the ranges, but for the sake of consistency it perhaps makes sense to make shard name mandatory.
> I propose that we deprecate split.key and only allow 2 options:
>  # shard name + ranges
>  # shard name + (optional numSubShards as part of SOLR-5004). The number of sub-shards defaults to 2.
> The intention here is to simplify the API by providing fewer but more consistent and intuitive options.
