Chris,
The document "Uploading Structured Data Store Data with the Data Import
Handler" has a number of references to solrconfig.xml, starting on Page
2 and continuing on page 3 in the section "Configuring solrconfig.xml".
It also is mentioned on Page 5 in the "Property Writer" and the "Data
Sources" sections. And other places in this document as well.
The solrconfig.xml file is also referenced (without a path) in the "Solr
Quick Start" document, in the Design Overview section and other sections
as well. None of these references suggests the location of the
solrconfig.xml file. Doing a "find . -name solrconfig.xml" from the
Solr home directory reveals about a dozen or so of these files in
various subdirectories. Thus, my confusion as to which one I need to
customize...
I feel ready to graduate from the examples in "Solr Quick Start"
document, e.g., using bin/solr -e dih and have fed in existing files on
disk. The tutorial was *excellent* for this part. But now I want to
build a "real" index using *my own* data from a database. In doing
this, I find the coaching in the tutorial to be rather absent. For
example, I haven't read in any of the documents I have found so far an
explanation of why one might want to use more than one Solr node and
more than one shard, or what the advantages are of using Solr in cloud
mode vs stand-alone mode. As a result, I had to
improvise/guess/trial-and-error. I did manage to configure my own data
source and changed my queries to apply to my own data, but I did
something wrong somewhere in solrconfig.xml because I get errors when
running, now. I solved some of them by copying the *.jar files from the
./dist directory to the solr/lib directory (a tip I found when I googled
the error message), but that only helped to a certain point.
I will post more specific questions about my issues when I have a chance
to re-investigate that (hopefully later today).
I have *not* found specific Java code examples using Solr yet, but I
haven't exhausted exploring the Solr website yet. Hopefully, I'll find
some examples using Solr in Java code...

can you please give us a specific examples (ie: urls, page numbers &
version of the ref guide, etc...) of documentation that tell you to edit
the solrconfig.xml w/o being explicit about where to to find it so that we
can fix the docs?
FWIW: The official "Quick Start" tutorial does not mention editing
solrconfig.xml at all...
