Thank you for your response. Our dev instance is not a cloud but we will be implementing cloud in our staging and production environments. I was afraid you were going to tell me that the substructure was not supported. I was hoping that in the core autodiscovery, it would keep the path. Thanks for your help.

Collections and cores have one identifier for their names. You could use myparent1_collection1 as a name. Implementing such a hierarchy like this would likely be difficult for the dev team, and would probably be a large source of bugs for several releases after it first became available. I don't think a feature like this is likely to happen. Later, you said "We would not want the data from one collection to ever show up in another collection query." That's not ever going to happen unless the software making the query explicitly requests it, and it will need to know details about the indexes in your Solr server to be able to do it successfully. FYI: People who cannot be trusted shouldn't ever have direct access to your Solr installation. Are you running SolrCloud? I ask because if you're not, then the terminology for each index isn't a "collection" ... it's a core. This is a pedantic statement, but you'll get better answers if your terminology is correct. If you were running SolrCloud, it would be extremely unlikely for you to have a directory structure like you describe. SolrCloud normally handles all core creation behind the scenes and isn't going to set up a directory structure like that.
