So, found the following line in the guide: java -DzkRun -DnumShards=2 -Dbootstrap_confdir=./solr/collection1/conf -Dcollection.configName=myconf -jar start.jar
using a completely clean, new, solr_home. In my own bootstrap dir, I have my own solrconfig.xml and schema.xml, and I modified to have: -DnumShards=8 -DmaxShardsPerNode=8 When I went to start loading data into this, I failed: Caused by: org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer$RemoteSolrException: No registered leader was found after waiting for 4000ms , collection: rni slice: shard4 at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer.executeMethod(HttpSolrServer.java:554) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer.request(HttpSolrServer.java:210) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer.request(HttpSolrServer.java:206) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.request.AbstractUpdateRequest.process(AbstractUpdateRequest.java:124) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServer.deleteByQuery(SolrServer.java:285) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServer.deleteByQuery(SolrServer.java:271) at com.basistech.rni.index.internal.SolrCloudEvaluationNameIndex.<init>(SolrCloudEvaluationNameIndex.java:53) with corresponding log traffic in the solr log. The cloud page in the Solr admin app shows the IP address in green. It's a bit hard to read in general, it's all squished up to the top.
