If you use linkconfig with a collection that does not exist, you end up with a collection *stub* in zookeeper that just contains the configName. At that point you can create the collection manually with CoreAdmin or automatically with the Collection Admin, and I would expect that with the latter, you'd be able to leave out the collection.configName parameter. If you use linkconfig with a collection that already exists, you can change which configName is linked to that collection. This is an easy way to swap in a dev config on an existing collection. Thanks, Shawn
