Vamsee Yarlagadda commented on SOLR-4999:
-----------------------------------------

Good suggestion. But, this change might impact all the users who are using CollectionsAPI, which i assume is most of them. And moreover this might break their existing automation if any.

To enable ease of move, we can certainly provide support to both "name", "collection" starting from 5.0 and we can document that the users can use either of the property names to pass on the value(collectionName).

Looking at the CREATEALIAS, DELETEALIAS params, we are currently using "name" and with this proposal, i feel it would be good to use either "name" or "alias" for just the above operations.

Thoughts?

> The collections API as of now are split between using 'name' and 'collection' parameter.
> We should add support to all APIs to work with 'collection', while maintaining 'name' (where it already exists) until 5.0.
