[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-4779) Deprecate shareSchema in favor of sharing named config sets

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4779?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13652611#comment-13652611 ] 

Hoss Man commented on SOLR-4779:
--------------------------------

it's important to remember what exactly shareSchema="true" means under the hood.

functiaonlly the effect was that you got the exact same IndexSchema object for all cores whose schema.xml path was the same -- it helps reduce the memory overhead and speeds up the loading of cores in situations where you have a lot of cores using identical schemas.

re-using config sets in SolrCloud may be a viable replacement for sharing schemas such that the config option is no longer needed -- but the question should still remain whether that will still support the optimization of having a single IndexSchema object for each core that re-uses the same config set.

(And of course: the question of what happens with mutable schemas when shared is something that should be considered ... i have no idea what happens today)

> While working on SOLR-4478 it occurred to me that sharing schemas should be superseded by sharing named config sets. I pinged the dev list and there's enough interest in this that a JIRA is in order to continue the discussion.
> This _may_ just happen as part of SOLR-4478.
