Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-6630:
---------------------------------------------
bq. If we read "implicit" as "manual" on the read side, then conversion will
quickly happen automatically?
Yes, I think we're talking about the same thing.
# Read side will map "implicit" and "manual" to the same router
# Overseer in 5.1 and beyond will rename implicit to manual automatically
# The read side will continue to handle both "implicit" and "manual" throughout
5.x and will be removed in 6.0. This has to be there to provide back-compat
because we can't guarantee that people will migrate to 5.0 -> 5.1 and then to
further versions.

> I had this exchange with an IRC user named "kindkid" this morning:
> {noformat}
> 08:30 < kindkid> I'm using sharding with the implicit router, but I'm seeing
> all my documents end up on just one of my 24 shards. What
> might be causing this? (4.10.0)
> 08:35 <@elyograg> kindkid: you used the implicit router. that means that
> documents will be indexed on the shard you sent them
> to, not
> routed elsewhere.
> 08:37 < kindkid> oh. wow. not sure where I got the idea, but I was under the
> impression that implicit router would use a hash of the
> uniqueKey modulo number of shards to pick a shard.
> 08:38 <@elyograg> I think you probably wanted the compositeId router.
> 08:39 <@elyograg> implicit is not a very good name. It's technically
> correct,
> but the meaning of the word is not well known.
> 08:39 <@elyograg> "manual" would be a better name.
> {noformat}
> The word "implicit" has a very specific meaning, and I think it's
> absolutely correct terminology for what it does, but I don't think that
> it's very clear to a typical person. This is not the first time I've
> encountered the confusion.
> Could we deprecate the implicit name and use something much more
> descriptive and easily understood, like "manual" instead? Let's go
> ahead and accept implicit in 5.x releases, but issue a warning in the
> log. Maybe we can have a startup system property or a config option
> that will force the name to be updated in zookeeper and get rid of the
> warning. If we do this, my bias is to have an upgrade to 6.x force the
> name change in zookeeper.
