Therefore it's easier that all concepts of `Node` are the nodes themselves and not just their names. Current implementation only defines the name on the node, but this can change. Nodes are also used as targets for fetching values (`PropertyValueSource`), so it's convenient to have them implement the same interfaces as other targets. On the other hand, most key building ended up accepting a `Node` directly, and I don't know if key that are not implemented yet will require flexibility to be applicable to either `Node`, `Shard`, `SolrCollection` or `Replica` transparently. I found it more consistent and easier to read to manipulate `Nodes` rather than `Strings` basically if you suggestion is to get rid of `Node` completely. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
