["Yonik Seeley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5955?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14556204#comment-14556204 ] 

Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-5955:
------------------------------------

Perhaps more general functionality : the ability to easily make a copy of a configset and the ability to easily switch what configset is being used for a collection.

This covers a lot more usecases.  Multiple collections share a configset but then you can make a new one based on the old one, switch only one collection over to it and try it out before migrating the others.

The fact that something is a template vs just a normal config set could be one of convention (i.e. any configset can be a template).
There could even be an implicit default template called something clever like "default_template" to cover Mark's original use case.

> You should be able to upload config sets to a templates location and then specify a template as your starting config when creating new collections via REST API. We can have a default template that we ship with.
> This will let you create collections from scratch via REST API, and then you can use things like the schema REST API to customize the template config to your needs.
