thanks Shawn for filing the issue. by the way my solrconfig.xml has: <dataDir>${MYSOLRROOT:/mysolrroot}/messages/solr/data/${solr.core.name}</dataDir>
For now I will have to shutdown solr and write a script to modify the solr.xml manually and rename the core data directory to new one. by the way when I try to remove a core using unload (I am using solr 3.5): .../solr/admin/cores?action=UNLOAD&core=4130&deleteIndex=true it removes the core from solr.xml, but it leaves the data directory '413', but the index subfolder under 413 is removed, however there are spellchecker1 and spellchecker2 still remain. Do you know why? thanks Jie -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/solr-3-5-core-rename-issue-tp4056425p4056865.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
