There appears to be a problem with the recognition of the 'solr.solr.home' property in SOLR 1.4.1 - or else I have a basic misunderstanding of how 'solr.solr.home' is intended to work.
Conduct the following experiment. Take the standard SOLR 1.4.1 distribution. Suppose the home directory is /Users/johndoe. 1) Make two copies of the contents of the ./example subdirectory to some location, say ~/solr_example1 and ~/solr_example2. 2) Delete the subdirectories ~/solr_example1/solr/data/index, ~/solr_example2/solr/data/index 3) In ~/solr_example2, start up the SOLR server using something similar to: java -Dsolr.solr.home=/Users/johndoe/example1/solr -jar start.jar 5) In ~/solr_example2/exampledocs, run './post.sh *.xml' 6) Examine the directories ~/example1/solr/data/index and ~/example2/solr/data/index Based on the setting of 'solr.solr.home' I would have expected the indexes to be created in ~/example1/solr/data/index. They are in fact created in ~/example2/solr/data/index. Do I misunderstand the usage of 'solr.solr.home' and how to set it, or is there a real issue here? Any help and insight would be appreciated.
