Is a core a running piece of software, or just an index/config pairing?

A core is one complete index within a Solr instance.
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin
My master index servers have five cores - ncmain, ncrss, live, build,
and test. The slave servers are missing the build and test cores. I
have the same schema.xml and data-config.xml on all of them, but
solrconfig.xml is slightly different between them.
The ncmain and ncrss cores do not have indexes, they are used as brokers
and have shards configured in their request handlers.
The live, build, and test cores use directories named core0, core1, and
core2, because they are intended to be swapped as required.
