Solr 4.7 will use the solr.xml from a 4.2 install with no problem. I just upgraded one copy of my index from 4.2.1 to 4.7.1 without changing my solr.xml. There is no need to switch to the new format until 5.0 gets released, which is NOT going to happen soon. If you use contrib or third party jars, you may need to be aware of SOLR-4852. If you do switch to the new solr.xml format, the instanceDir for each core is the directory where the core.properties file is found. It does not need to be specified anywhere -- it will be discovered. Thanks, Shawn
