Are you running Solr in Cloud (ZooKeeper aware) mode ? If so, manual
creation of core is actually not something that is supported. It works, but
it's not supported.
Assuming you _are_ running in cloud mode, the answer to your question is
yes. Provided you upload the configuration to be used by SolrCloud before
the collection creation command.
It seems like we are lacking all the documentation for the same but you can
explore the subclasses in CollectionAdminRequest.
Here's an example how you'd do that in Solr 5.5:
CloudSolrClient cloudClient = new CloudSolrClient(zkHostString);
CollectionAdminRequest.Create req = new CollectionAdminRequest.Create();
CollectionAdminResponse response = req.setCollectionName("foo")
.setReplicationFactor(1)
.setConfigName("bar")
.process(cloudClient);
You can then parse the response.
Hope this helps.
