Mike - Thank you, this was very helpful. I've doing some research and experimenting.
As currently configured solr is launched as a service. I looked at the sol.in.sh file in /etc/default and we are running using a list of servers for the zookeeper cluster. so I think that is translated to -z zookeeper1,zookeeper2,zookeeper3 (these are defined in the hosts file) If I understand what I am reading setting a specific configset path would be done explicitly by adding the path to the end of the zookeeper server list: -z zookeeper1,zookeeper2,zookeeper3/solr_dev for example. However, I'm not sure how to switch the production cluster to explicitly reference the directory it currently uses. Do I need to setup the directory first? As per this? https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/taking-solr-to-production.html#TakingSolrtoProduction-ZooKeeperchroot Would I setup say solr_prod, upconfig all the configs, switch over one node and then migrate over the rest of the nodes , ending with the leader? Would that then move production to solr_prod as the config base? Once that is done I would then setup the dev. Does any of this make sense? Jim K.
