Description

All our current implementations of SolrCloud such as

1. ClusterState
2. DocCollection
3. Slice
4. Replica
   etc are concrete classes. Providing alternate implementations or wrappers is extremely difficult.

SOLR-14613 is attempting to create such interfaces to make their sdk simpler

The objective is not to have a comprehensive set of methods in these interfaces. We will start out with a subset of required interfaces. We guarantee is that signatures of methods in these interfaces will not be deleted/changed . But we may add more methods as and when it suits us
