             Summary: Support for `repository` parameter in v2 api for restores
                 Key: SOLR-16479
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-16479
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Backup/Restore, v2 API
    Affects Versions: 8.11.2
            Reporter: Josh Souza


The v1 API for restoring from backups ([https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/collection-management.html#restore|https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/collection-management.html#restore)] )

includes the optional parameter `repository`, which can be utilized to trigger restores from a particular backup repository. However, the v2 api, located at `api/collections?command=restore-collection`, does not include this parameter.

While I assume _most_ use-cases have 0-1 backup repositories configured, in the situation where you have configured multiple repositories, the v2 api will only permit restoring from the first one configured. (An example situation where this may arise is during a migration from one storage backend to another, or when restoring from a source that is different from where you will want backups to go in the future)

This is a gap in functionality between the API versions, and I assume most tooling continues to utilize the v1 API at this point, but for full interoperability between the versions, and to support users migrating off of the v1 API, this parameter will need to be exposed.
