/**
* <p>This package contains interfaces visible by plugins (i.e. contributed code) implementing cluster elasticity,
* placement and scalability, as well as a few examples on how plugins can be implemented.
*
* <p>Initially, only placement related plugins are supported.
*
* <p>The entry point is the {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.placement.PlacementPluginFactory} building instances
* of the {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.placement.PlacementPlugin} interface where the placement computation is implemented.
*
* <p>From there, one will access the interfaces that allow navigating the cluster topology, see {@link org.apache.solr.cluster}.
*
* <p>Plugin code:
* <ul>
* <li>Gets work to be done by receiving a {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.placement.PlacementRequest},</li>
* <li>Can obtain more info using {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.placement.AttributeFetcher} and building an
* {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.placement.AttributeValues}</li>
* <li>Uses the values from {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.placement.AttributeValues} as well as cluster state and
* {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.SolrCollection#getCustomProperty} and other data to compute placement,</li>
* <li>Placement decisions are returned to Solr using an instance of {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.placement.PlacementPlan}
* built using the {@link org.apache.solr.cluster.placement.PlacementPlanFactory}</li>
* </ul>
