[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-13584) Explore prohibiting aliases and
collections from having the same name.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13584?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16988110#comment-16988110 ]
Cassandra Targett commented on SOLR-13584:
------------------------------------------
[~erickerickson], I came across this while looking for something else, and also found SOLR-11488 which seems to be for exactly the same prohibition proposed here? Should we close one as a duplicate?

> Key: SOLR-13584
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13584
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Erick Erickson
> Priority: Major
>
> Allowing aliases and collections to have the same name is fragile and a potentially a data issue. I'll link in a few JIRAs illustrating this and one at least where the discussion gets long.
> Straw-man proposal to start things off.
> Deprecate this ability now, and enforce it in 9.0.
> We have to provide a graceful way for users to get themselves out of the following currently-possible use-case.
> * a collection C1 is created and all the front-end uses it.
> * users want to atomically switch to a new collection for various reasons
> * users create C2 and test it out.
> * users create an alias C1->C2
> Let's discuss.
