Hi Erick,
Thank you for making this clearer (it helped me solve issue with
replication I asked about in different thread). However I suspect I still
do something wrong.
I am running a single Tomcat instance with two instances of Solr.
The shared solrconfig.xml contains:
<dataDir>${solr.data.dir:data}</dataDir>
And the Tomcat contexts set the solr/home as follows:
<Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String"
value=".../solrcloud/solr1" override="true" />
<Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String"
value=".../solrcloud/solr2" override="true" />
The directory structure is as follows:
.../solrcloud/solr1/solr.xml
.../solrcloud/solr1/core1
.../solrcloud/solr1/core1/core.properties
.../solrcloud/solr1/core1/data
.../solrcloud/solr2/solr.xml
After having issued ADDREPLICA on the collection managed by core1, I would
expect to see the new data dir under ".../solrcloud/solr2/core2/data".
However I have seen something like this: (the core names were a little
different).
...
.../solrcloud/solr2/solr.xml
.../solrcloud/solr2/core2
.../solrcloud/solr2/core2/core.properties
.../solrcloud/data (!)
I.e. the new core data dir was created relative to the parent solrcloud
folder. Makes me confused...
Best,
Michal Krajnansky
