Is there any way to create collections dynamically.
Having some issues using collections api, need to pass dataDir etc to the

work correctly?
You can't pass dataDir with the collections API. It is concerned with
the entire collection, not individual cores. With SolrCloud, you really
shouldn't be trying to override those things. One reason you might want
to do this is that you want to share one instanceDir with all your
cores. This is basically unsupported with SolrCloud, because the config
is in zookeeper, not on the disk. The dataDir defaults to
$instanceDir/data.
If you *really* want to go against recommendations and control all the
directories yourself, you can build the cores using the CoreAdmin API
instead of the Collections API. The wiki page on SolrCloud has some
details on how to do this.
Thanks,
