> SOLR-3460 added the "zkcli.sh" script that we shipped with Solr distributions for many releases. This tool contained a subcommand, "linkconfig", that created a zkNode at the path "/collections/<someCollName>" whose contents/data was essentially the configset name.
> This is something that made sense back in the 2012 timeframe when it was added. At that time most of the "Collection Admin" or collection CRUD APIs we know and love today didn't exist. So this manual "linking" process was a required part of creating a new collection.
> But today this code is purely vestigial. There are no usecases that would have a user link a config today. And no code in Solr looks for the "configName" property at this outmoded location, excepting a few deprecated methods that are slated for removal in or after Solr 10.
> I propose in this ticket that we:
> * remove "bin/solr zk linkconfig" (the linkconfig tooling was migrated here when zkcli.sh was sunset as a part of SOLR-14115)
> * remove all of the methods and call-sites previously deprecated by SOLR-14341
