[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-4193) A ZooKeeper RequestHandler that allows you to post config files to a collections linked config set or a specific config set.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4193?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13569820#comment-13569820 ] 

Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-4193:
------------------------------------

I'd like the ability to tell a collection to use a different config set.  I brought this up on the mailing list, where Mark Miller directed me to this issue.  Consider this situation, which is essentially where I am right now:

I have a config set named 'mbbasecfg' which for the immediate future will be used by all collections that I add to my SolrCloud (4.1).  Each collection will get used by a SolrJ servlet, which serves content from one specific customer.  The 'mb' prefix is something specific to our software.

Let's say customer X decides they want things to work very differently for their application, and they are willing to pay us development costs to make it happen.  Their requested changes will require a different Solr config and maybe a different schema.  Customer X already has a collection in SolrCloud.

What I'd like to be able to do is upload a new config set called mbcustxcfg, then ask SolrCloud to change the customerx collection to use that new config set.  If the changes don't require a reindex, we'd be done after reloading the collection.  If they do require a reindex, then we'll do that.

Currently we would have to delete their collection and build it again with a new config set.  If renaming a collection is possible (not sure whether it is), we could do that before making a new collection with the original name.  This is not the end of the world, of course.

> Could have an admin zk handler and one per core?
> An admin zk handler would allow you to access it without specifying an existing core if done right.
> One per core lets you do things like:
> post solrconfig.xml to localhost:8983:/solr/collection1/zkhandler
> Then we look up what config set we linked to and overwrite the solrconfig.xml.
> You can already GET config files through another handler, so at the moment I'd avoid duplicating that.
> Could imagine adding commands over time though.
