------------------------------
Summary: Solr tutorial can give errors when indexing techproduct
data depending on what user has already indexed
Key: SOLR-8943
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8943
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug

Solr's install includes a handful of Solr XML formatted files with example data
(mostly mocked tech product data). NOTE: This tech product data has a more
domain-specific configuration, including schema and browse UI. The bin/solr
script includes built-in support for this by running bin/solr start -e
techproducts which not only starts Solr but also then indexes this data too (be
sure to bin/solr stop -all before trying it out). However, the example below
assumes Solr was started with bin/solr start -e cloud to stay consistent with
all examples on this page, and thus the collection used is "gettingstarted",
not "techproducts".

But the assumption at the end of this paragraph -- that the sample techproduct
documents can be added to the existing gettingstarted collection -- is
fundementally flawed based on how the early sections of the tutorial are
written.
With a completley clean, unused, empty gettingstarted demo collection,
{{bin/post -c gettingstarted example/exampledocs/*.xml}} does work (on master
anyway) but if you have been following along with teh tutorial you don't have a
completley empty gettingstarted collection -- you will already have at a
minimum the files in "docs", but also the user has been enocuraged to index
arbitrary files from their computer...

bin/post -c gettingstarted docs/

To index your own data, re-run the directory indexing command pointed to your
own directory of documents. For example, on a Mac instead of docs/ try
~/Documents/ or ~/Desktop/ ...

...once the user has done that, it is not safe to assume that the techproduct
sample documents can definitely be imported cleanly
