Hi, I was having an issue setting up a Solr instance w/ a external Zookeeper. My SOLR_HOME is not set to the default location. I believe the problem is related to the following line and I wanted to confirm if this is a bug:
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/bin/solr#L1383 It would seem that if we're checking if a file exists at some position relative to SOLR_HOME that the path supplied for bootstrap_confdir should also be rooted by SOLR_HOME instead of the working directory of the solr process. For me this translated into errors when solr started as it was trying to load a configuration into ZK from a directory that did not exist. The fix is easy and I can create a patch for this if it is decided that this is a bug. Thanks, Mike
