That's good to know. I don't actually want to do it. I want to see just how much of Solr's schema and configuration can be reliably validated. The error messages I've been getting back for misconfigured setups are less than ideal at times. But it should be easy for me to validate certain things without talking to Solr at all, like the existence of the schema in ZK, that it's a valid XML file, etc.
Is there an XSD or any kind of validation for the schema / solrconfig? There's an unresolved Jira issue in SOLR-1758 that seems promising but never got merged. Thanks.

It's an extremelely good idea ... but strictly speaking no... https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/CoreAdminHandler+Parameters+and+Usage#CoreAdminHandlerParametersandUsage-CREATE This smells like an XY Problem though ... please explain *why* you care what these file names are, and why you want them to be different? https://people.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem XY Problem Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y" without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the full issue. Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all? See Also: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=542341 -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
