Running Apache Solr 4.5 on Tomcat 7.0.29, Java 1.6_30. 3 SolrCloud nodes running. 5 ZK nodes (v 3.4.5), one on each SolrCloud server, and on 2 other servers.
I want to create a collection on all 3 nodes. I only need 1 shard. The config is in Zookeeper (another collection is using it) http://solrserver:8080/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=newtest&numShards=1&replicationFactor=3&collection.configName=test I get this error (3 times, though for a different replica #) org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer$RemoteSolrException:Error CREATEing SolrCore 'newtest_shard1_replica2': Unable to create core: newtest_shard1_replica2 The SolrCloud Admin logs give this as the root error: Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ZooKeeperException: Specified config does not exist in ZooKeeper:newtest You can see from my call that I don't want it to be called "test" (already have one) but I want to make a new instance of the "test" collection. This seems pretty straightforward -- what am I missing? Did the parameters change and the wiki not get updated?
