I did try that, yes. I tried that first in fact! It seems to fall back
to a ./data directory relative to the _main_ solr directory (the one
above all the cores), not the core instancedir. Which is not what I
expected either.
I wonder if this should be considered a bug? I wonder if anyone has
considered this and thought of changing/fixing it?

Have you tried removing the<dataDir> tag from solrconfig.xml? Then it should
fall back to default ./data relative to core instancedir.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, in my experience in multi-core Solr in 1.4.1,
you NEED to explicitly provide an absolute path to the 'data' dir.
I set up multi-core like this:
<cores adminPath="/admin/cores">
<core name="some_core" instanceDir="some_core">
</core>
</cores>
Now, setting instanceDir like that works for Solr to look for the 'conf'
directory in the default location you'd expect, ./some_core/conf.
You'd expect it to look for the 'data' dir for an index in ./some_core/data
too, by default. But it does not seem to. It's still looking for the 'data'
directory in the _main_ solr.home/data, not under the relevant core directory.
The only way I can manage to get it to look for the /data directory where I
expect is to spell it out with a full absolute path:
<core name="some_core" instanceDir="some_core">
<property name="dataDir" value="/path/to/main/solr/some_core/data" />
</core>
And then in the solrconfig.xml do a<dataDir>${dataDir}</dataDir>
Is this what everyone else does too? Or am I missing a better way of doing this? I would
have thought it would "just work", with Solr by default looking for a ./data
subdir of the specified instanceDir. But it definitely doesn't seem to do that.
Should it? Anyone know if Solr in trunk past 1.4.1 has been changed to do what
I expect? Or am I wrong to expect it? Or does everyone else do multi-core in
some different way than me where this doesn't come up?
