David Smiley commented on SOLR-14977:
-------------------------------------
Odd that "NamedList" wasn't mentioned _at all _here. Historically, I trust you
all know that Solr's plugins are configured with a NamedList, ideally made
configurable by implementing NamedListInitializedPlugin. Are "Container
Plugins" (I would prefer "node plugins" name) so special that NamedList
can't/shouldn't be used? I can't imagine. Or was this an opportunity to do
something different / better? Probably that. If we stop here (at Container
Plugins), it's sad Solr's big codebase is fragmented in a new way where some
odd things are configured oddly (arguably better but "odd" meaning different).
This is a sweeping issue; I'll raise on the dev list in a minute but mentioning
here notifies JIRA issue Watchers.

> Container plugins are defined in {{/clusterprops.json:/plugin}} using a
> simple {{PluginMeta}} bean. This is sufficient for implementations that don't
> need any configuration except for the {{pathPrefix}} but insufficient for
> anything else that needs more configuration parameters.
> An example would be a {{CollectionsRepairEventListener}} plugin proposed in
> PR-1962, which needs parameters such as the list of collections, {{waitFor}},
> maximum operations allowed, etc. to properly function.
> This issue proposes to extend the {{PluginMeta}} bean to allow a
> {{Map<String, Object>}} configuration parameters.
> There is an interface that we could potentially use ({{MapInitializedPlugin}}
> but it works only with {{String}} values. This is not optimal because it
> requires additional type-safety validation from the consumers. The existing
> {{PluginInfo}} / {{PluginInfoInitialized}} interface is too complex for this
> purpose.
