    Affects Versions: 5.1
            Reporter: Shawn Heisey

            Priority: Minor


Talking to a user on IRC, I've come across some things we could do better in 
our startup scripts and the documentation around them.

 * It's very difficult to make the entire install directory read-only from the 
point of view of the RUNAS user.
 ** The war must be extracted, by default this is done to server/solr-webapp.
 ** Fixing this will require a few changes to the scripts as well as some 
additions to the documentation.  I'm not suggesting that we make this a default 
setup, just provide information on how a user can accomplish it.
 * If SOLR_ENV is pointed at a script that is empty, nonexistent, or only 
includes minimal user settings, the settings for default max heap and GC tuning 
are lost, and return to undesirable Java defaults.  I believe that a user env 
file should *supplement* solr.in.{sh,cmd}, not *replace* it.  The user can 
always completely override the provided defaults in their env file.

There were some other ideas I had, will update if I remember them.
