If you're running in cloud mode, move to using collections with the configs kept in Zookeeper.
Assuming you're not, you can use the create_core stuff, I'm not sure what's unclear about it, did you try bin/solr create_core -help? If that's not clear please make some suggestions for making it more so. But you don't even have to do that. Just put the core config information you want somewhere under solr_home. I.e. you'll have something like solr_home/core1 solr_home/core2 In each core? dir you'll have a conf dir and a file "core.properties". Start Solr and the cores should just be there. The "core.properties" file can be empty, it's the marker for "core discovery" to assume it's a core for Solr, see: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Solr+Cores+and+solr.xml Best, Erick On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 5:44 AM, spleenboy <paul.br...@neilltech.com> wrote: > OK. so effectively use the core product as it was in Solr 4, running a > schema.xml file to control doc structures and validation.
