Gus Heck updated SOLR-13420:
----------------------------
    Description: 
The current routed alias code is relying on a core property named 
routedAliasName to detect when the Routed Alias wrapper URP should be applied 
to Distributed Update Request Processor. 
{code:java}
#Written by CorePropertiesLocator
#Sun Mar 03 06:21:14 UTC 2019
routedAliasName=testalias21
numShards=2
collection.configName=_default
... etc...
{code}
Core properties are not changeable after the core is created, and they are 
written to the file system for every core. To support a unit test for 
SOLR-13419 I need to create some legacy formatted collection names, and arrange 
them into a TRA, but this is impossible due to the fact that I can't change the 
core property from the test. There's a TODO dating back to the original TRA 
implementation in the routed alias code to switch to collection properties 
instead, so this ticket will address that TODO to support the test required for 
SOLR-13419.

Back compatibility with legacy core based TRA's and CRA's will of course be 
maintained. I also expect that this will facilitate some more nimble handling 
or routed aliases with future auto-scaling capabilities such as possibly 
detaching and archiving collections to cheaper, slower machines rather than 
deleting them. (presently such a collection would still attempt to use the 
routed alias if it received an update even if it were no longer in the list of 
collections for the alias)
