------------------------------------
{quote}Our users mostly write plugins and deploy their plugins. Third party
plugins are very few. So everyone who wishes to use your solution will have to
write extra code to comply with your package format

The only poll I have seen in the Solr community on plugin usage is my own
([https://www.slideshare.net/janhoy/solrs-missing-plugin-ecosystem/17]) which
shows that several 3rd party plugins are in use and only four of the
respondents deploy custom plugins:

The plugin architecture needs to be designed with main focus on typical use,
and then add more esoteric features later. In my eyes multi tenancy and
different versions of the same plugins for different collections is *not* the
80% use case. So we need to make it dead simple for the casual Solr OPS person
to discover, install and manage plugins. And for the developers we need to make
it convenient to publish their plugins into one of our official repositories or
to publish their own repo from a GitHub URL. For the large enterprise with
several custom plugins and multiple SolrClouds deployed, we need to make it
easy to both consume the official plugins, 3rd party plugins and also to setup
their own company-internal repo (File share, HTTPs site, Artifactory etc) where
these plugins can be self hosted.
The PF4J based implementation of SOLR-10665 has you covered for all of these
([https://www.slideshare.net/janhoy/solrs-missing-plugin-ecosystem/44]):
