Description

ParamSets are a great way of organizing your parameters into an algorithem, and then referring to it by name. I've used it to drive A/B testing, or just to simplify my experimentation.

In SOLR-15834 we added documentation about the useParams parameter to the films example. This highlighted that while super powerful feature, the lack of a UI in the admin tool makes it very opaque feature to use. You have to be a JSON Jocky using Postman or a tool like that to manage this! I suspect most folks who embrace the ParamSets end up building a sepearate tool to manage this... (I was thinking about adding this to Quepid, and realized that wasn't helpful).

It would be great if we had a UI that managed the params.json file in a user friendly way.l
