Description

Sourced from https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/1768#issuecomment-2142193420

Now that bin/solr supports a remote Solr cluster with --solr-url. We currently support solr version which prints the version from SolrVersion.java, i.e. the client version. However, if you run the tool towards a remote solr with a different version, you won't see that.

So I wonder if solr --version should be the tool version, but solr version --solr-url http://foo.bar/solr/ should call the backend to ask for its version.

 

Maybe have solr/version ALSO report the version of Solr the CLI was built with.
