Thanks, Tim, it's great to hear you say that! I tried to make that
point myself with various patches, but they never really got taken up by
committers, so I kind of gave up, but I agree with you 100% this is a
critical feature if you want to get real-world large deployments to
accept frequent updates while continuing to innovate around the
communications protocol.
A key step would be getting a version number into the protocol so you
have a principled way of knowing which version is on the other end of
the wire. I don't know what the state of this is now, but at one time
you had to kind of guess based on various secondary artifacts...
The dev discussion appears to be going that direction. We already have
version numbers on the data encoding format (javabin, xml, etc.), we may
need it for the content of the request as well. See the newly added
comments on SOLR-5762:

Thanks,

I see - thanks, Shawn. Sounds like moves towards progress on this.
