Hmmm. I'm going to leave the DIH stuff for someone else, but could you raise a JIRA (and assign it to me) to think about a way to add a core.properties file to the collection creation step?
I haven't thought it through very well, but currently I think we just assign some defaults. Some thought that needs to be put into what kinds of things we'll allow to be set, I think you could shoot yourself in the foot. Maybe it's as simple as allowing more params for creation like collection.coreName where each param of the form collection.blah=blort gets an entry in the properties file blah=blort? Would that work for your case?
