Setting dataDir in solrconfig.xml, especially to an absolute path like that, is generally not a good idea. It's VERY bad if that config will be used by multiple cores. The best place to do it is in core.properties, so it's part of the core definition and independent of config/schema. IMHO it's best to make it a relative path. Below is a core.properties file from my dev system running 6.3.0, in a "cores/sparkinc_0" directory under the solr home. I do not see anything broken in the directory listings you provided. What do you see that is misplaced? With SolrCloud, I wouldn't be setting dataDir *at all* -- I would let Solr handle that, mostly because the config for SolrCloud is not on the disk and therefore dataDir doesn't need to be separated from instanceDir. #Written by CorePropertiesLocator #Mon Feb 06 19:24:18 UTC 2017 name=sparkinclive loadonStartup=false dataDir=../../data/sparkinc_0 transient=false Thanks, Shawn
