Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-9575:
--------------------------------------

+1 to Hoss' idea. I also would rather fail than do things under the covers.

If it addresses the basic concern I think it's a _much_ better idea than 
creating the SOLR_HOME dir automagically.

> Initialize an empty solr-home

> The user may not want to use Solr's default solr-home dir location -- most 
> likely to use a separate disk.  If you do this, there are two main problems:
> * solr.xml & zoo.cfg aren't there
> * configsets aren't there
> Of course you could copy it manually but that's an extra step, and it's 
> particularly annoying to add this step to a Docker setup.  Docker is all the 
> rage these days, and for good reason.  If I mount a volume at 
> /opt/solr/server/solr then it basically masks this part of the built-in Solr 
> image (thus making configsets completely invisible) and points to some place 
> that will be empty.  Solr obviously complains.  I could set the solr-home to 
> some other path that I mount, but Solr would still complain about an empty 
> solr-home -- no solr.xml
> If solr-home is empty, and if it's a dir other than the default solr-home, 
> then I think the solr-home should be initialized with solr.xml and zoo.cfg 
> copied from the default solr-home.  I think configsets should be referenced 
> from the default solr-home if there is no configsets dir in solr-home.
