1s of all, thanks everyone, your expertise and time is much appreciated.
@Jamie:
Great suggestion, I just have one small objection to it ... I wouldn't
want to mix the core's name with the collection's configName. Wouldn't
you also want to keep the two separate for clarity? What do you think
about that?
@Yury:
Overall what you said makes sense and I'll roll with it. But FYI,
through experimentation I found out that collection="myconf" does not
become the value for configName when I inspect ZooKeeper.jsp, here's
an example of what shows up if I setup the solr.xml file but don't say
anything in the cmd line startup:
myconf (v=0 children=1) "configName=configuration1"
But perhaps that's exactly what you are trying to warn me about. I'll
experiment more and get back.
