Mark Miller commented on SOLR-4432:
-----------------------------------
bq. And if we know we need it, then why not just do it automatically?
Because the only way to do it automatically in a webapp world is to put it in
the Solr dist unzipped already - meaning we either stop shipping the war file
as well (which some people use), or we balloon the size of the dist.
Making people put in a one liner to unzip it before using the zkcli tool seemed
preferable to me.
I suppose you could make the argument that it's better we ship it exploded and
force those using the war to zip it up into a war themselves. I'd be open to
that.

> Key: SOLR-4432
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4432
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SolrCloud
> Affects Versions: 4.1
> Reporter: Mark Bennett
> Fix For: 4.2
>
>
> In the SolrCloud instructions it says you must run the solr in the example
> directory at least once in order to unpack some files, in order to then use
> the example directory as a template for shards.
> Ideally we would unpack whatever we need, or do this automatically.
> Doc reference:
> http://lucidworks.lucidimagination.com/display/solr/Getting+Started+with+SolrCloud
> See the red box that says:
> "Make sure to run Solr from the example directory in non-SolrCloud mode at
> least once before beginning; this process unpacks the jar files necessary to
> run SolrCloud. On the other hand, make sure also that there are no documents
> in the example directory before making copies."
