Aaron Greenspan created SOLR-7894: ------------------------------------- Summary: Solr Forgets Core Setup And Throws Fake Errors Each Time It Starts Key: SOLR-7894 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7894 Project: Solr Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 5.2.1 Environment: CentOS 6.3 Linux 2.6.32-504.23.4.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 9 20:57:37 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Reporter: Aaron Greenspan
I have two Solr cores that I need to use. Their folders are already set up with appropriate permissions in the /solr subdirectory I'm using. Nevertheless, each time I start and stop Solr, the following ridiculous dance has to take place: 1. I go to the web interface on port 8983. 2. No cores are listed. I press the Add Core button. 3. I type in the name of the first of the two cores I want to re-add that was just there when the process was running previously in the "name" and "instanceDir" fields. I leave the other fields with their default values. 4. I press the blue "Add Core" button. 5. I get the following red error message: "Error CREATEing SolrCore '[core name]': Could not create a new core in /home/solr/server/solr/[core name]/as another core is already defined there 6. I press the gray "Cancel" button. 7. I click "Java Properties" on the left side, or some other link in the administrative interface, just to get off the cores page. 8. I go back to the cores page. 9. The core is listed and is working fine. This is absurd. For one thing, I shouldn't have to do *anything*. Either by scanning the directory for the annoying-as-hell XML configuration files or some other method, it should remember the cores that were just there. But even assuming that's impossible for some reason (which it's not), I should not be getting a technically true but practically useless and misleading error message that suggests that adding the core *didn't* work when in fact it *did*. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
