             Summary: Would like to be able to 'upconfig' and 'linkconfig' via collections api
                 Key: SOLR-5626
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5626
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: SolrCloud
            Reporter: Nathan Neulinger


Right now, the collections API isn't self contained - to do server administration, you still have to externally use the zkCli.sh scripts to upload configs.

It would be really nice to be able to issue a collections API call to upload a configuration and link that config. I realize that this providing a direct layer into Zk, but the benefit is that at that point - Zk could be completely hidden and behind the scenes - and only exposed to Solr itself.

I would suggest that it take a file upload, examples:

/solr/admin/collections
   action=UPCONFIG
   configName=whatevername
   configSolrHome=whateverpath
   configContent=fileUpload/multipart
   configContentType=typeOfUpload(mimetype?)

/solr/admin/collections
   action=LINKCONFIG
   collection=collname
   configName=whatevername


You could even extend the CREATE operation/api to take configContent and configContentType file upload, and dynamically create a configName. Then creating a collection becomes a one-shot API call with no outside dependencies.

I would suggest that the zip/tar content be specified as rooted at the based of the config dir.
