Folks: I'm in a bind. Added Solr 4.9.0 to HDInsight cluster and find no Solrctl commands installed. So, I am doing the following to create a collection.
I have my collection schema in a location: /home/sshuser/abhi/ems-collection/conf Using this command to create a collection: http://headnode1:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=ems-collection&instanceDir=/home/sshuser/abhi/ems-collection/conf <http://hn0-esohad.iqz04pwsg24ulbodxuo51nheig.jx.internal.cloudapp.net:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=ems-collection&instanceDir=/home/sshuser/abhi/ems-collection/conf/> / Get an error like: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'ems-collection': Unable to create core: ems-collection Caused by: Could not find configName for collection ems-collection found:[collection1, hditestconfig] I guess i need to register my config name with Zk. How do I register the collection schema with Zookeeper? Is there way to bypass the registration with zk and build the collection directly from my schema files at that folder location, like I was able to do in Solr 4.10 in CDH 5.14: solrctl --zk hadoop-dn6.eso.local:2181/solr instancedir --create ems-collection /home/sshuser/abhi/ems-collection/ solrctl --zk hadoop-dn6.eso.local:2181/solr collection --create ems-collection -s 3 -r 2 Your help is appreciated.
