             Summary: add option for deleting an alias to delete collections 
first
                 Key: SOLR-12032
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12032
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Sub-task
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: SolrCloud
            Reporter: David Smiley


If someone wishes to delete an alias, it would be nice to have an option to 
delete the collections it points to as well.  This would make deleting a Time 
Routed Alias much more user friendly.  Given that in general, more than one 
alias might point to a target collection, it should only delete the collections 
that have only this alias pointing at them -- no others.  This way, the other 
aliases remain valid.  Also, aliases can point to other aliases; I don't think 
this proposal here should apply recursively; it should only apply to the direct 
children that are collections.

Perhaps the option ought to be deleteCollections=true/false
