>                 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.
