Thanks Alexandre, Well, the initial question was, whether it is possible to altogether avoid dealing with collections (extra layer, longer url). But it seems this is an internal new feature of solr 4 generation. In solr 3 it was just a core, which could be "avoided" if no solr.xml was found.
With this release my solr terminology has transformed into having some ambiguous words (collection and core) referring to the same thing. I'm not even sure, what shard is nowadays :) On Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 3:57 PM, Alexandre Rafalovitch <arafa...@gmail.com>wrote: > If you only have one collection and no Solr cloud, then don't use solr.xml > at all.
