The changes to solrconfig.xml are fine since that comes along with the 
zookeeper configuration bundle (I have that in version control, deployed using 
a combination of Jenkins and saltstack).

The problem is that we too used to have everything bundled nicely in a war file 
in Solr 4 and that's all been removed. A major step backward for the Solr 
project for no benefit I can understand. Standard tomcat deployment practices 
were simple enough.

But I like the approach you point out with the DIH file. Not as good as JNDI, 
but at least it gives us a place outside the Solr install where we can put DB 
connection details. Thanks for that.

In 4, with a separate servlet container, I used externally-defined,
container-managed jndi data sources. However, I'm in the middle of an
upgrade to 5 (before moving on to 6), and I had to add the DIH lib to each
core's solrconfig.xml and add connection details to each core's DIH config
xml. See this:

I did set up JNDI for DIH once, and you have to tweak the jetty setup. Of
course, solr should have its own jetty instance, the old way of being just
a war is not true anymore. I don't remember where, but there should be some
instructions somewhere, it took me an afternoon to set it up fine.

Am I approaching this the wrong way? Where do other people put 
username/password details for JDBC connections to data storage of the source 
data?

Is there a completely different way to solve this as a better approach? Store 
JDBC connection details in Zookeeper?

Just a follow up on this question. Does anyone know of how I can add JNDI 
settings to Solr without overwriting parts of the application itself?
