Hi, I'm working on setting up my first SolrCloud instance and have a three questions I was hoping for some help with. I am running Solr 4.5.1.
1- I have 2 different schema's and 2 solrconfigs that I currently place in a single conf folder that get uploaded to zookeeper automatically by tomcat (bootstrap_confdir). I have been editing the core.properties files after creating my collections to add the "schema=" and "config=" params to instruct each core on what config file and schema to use. How can I configure these two options when calling the API so I don't need to login to the boxes and edit anything manually. The command I currently use looks something like: http://solrvip:8080/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=zipcollection-a&numShards=2&replicationFactor=2&maxShardsPerNode=4 2- I store all my configs in a specific directory that I set with the tomcat "bootstrap_confdir" option. After creating my collection using the API call above, the collection runs perfect until the next restart. After restarting, solr will not start back up until I create a "conf" directory in each of the shards directories created by the API. The directory can be empty, but needs to exist in order for Solr to run. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? 3- As I stated in question 1, I put all my schema's and solrconfigs in a single directory uploaded with the "bootstrap_confdir" directive. Is there any way to organize this in sub-directories. I've tried several ways, but can't seem to get it to work. for example: bootstrap_confdir=/solr/conf /solr/conf/collection-a/schema.xml /solr/conf/collection-b/schema.xml Thanks in advance for the advice, and thanks to the community for the hard work. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/questions-on-the-collections-API-usage-solrcloud-4-5-1-tp4110059.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
