Description

SOLR-16346 added support to Solr's build to generate an "OpenAPI spec" file describing our v2 API. But currently, this spec file isn't actually used by Solr in any way.

Spec files can be used for a variety of purposes, including to generate client bindings for using the API.

The client generation capabilities provided by the OpenAPI project cover a variety of languages, but it make sense for Solr to start with Java since we already have a Java client that requires continual effort to keep up to date. It'd be a big win for the project if we were able to replace some or all of the manually maintained "SolrRequest" implementations in SolrJ with automatically generated code.
