Maybe i'm mising something, but everything you are describing sounds correct and working properly -- the disconnect between what i think is suppose to happen and what you seem to be expecting seems to be right arround here....
: essentially used empty directories for the solr home. Although both : connected and zk shows both in the /live_nodes, both report “0 cores : discovered” in the logs, and don’t seem to find and participate in the : collection as happens when you follow the SolrCloud example verbatim. : (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud#Example_A:_Simple_two_shard_cluster) ...the differnce between that example and what you are doing here is that in that example, because both of nodes already had collection1 instance dirs, they expected to be part of collection1 when they joined the cluster. In your situation however, it sounds like you have created a cluster w/o any collections (which is fine) and you have a config set ready to go in ZK. If you now send a CREATE command to the collections API, refering to the config set, it should automatically create the neccessary cores on your nodes. if that's not the case, or if i've missunderstood what you have done and are trying to do, please elaborate. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
