Mark,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. The newbie's views are always appreciated.
Admin Admin UI command is designed for creating a collection based on
the configuration you already have. Obviously, it makes that point
somewhat less than obvious.
To create a new collection with configuration files all in place, you
can bootstrap it from a configset. Which is basically what you did
when you run "solr -e", except "-e" also populates the files and does
other tricks.
So, if you go back to the command line and run "solr" you will see a
bunch of options. The one you are looking for is "solr create_core"
which will tell you all the parameters as well as the available
configurations to bootstrap from.
I hope this helps.
Yes! It does help! But it took a post and a response on the user-forum for me to learn
this! Rather, it should be added to the "Solr Quick Start" document.
