: That leaves one purpose of MultiCore "default" -- there may be a better : solution for it: the "default" core is used to set the web-app wide variables : configured in solrconfig.xml: : requestDispatcher/requestParsers/@multipartUploadLimitInKB : requestDispatcher/requestParsers/@enableRemoteStreaming : requestDispatcher/@handleSelect : abortOnConfigurationError
these seem like things that should live in a file that only exists once per Solr instance. right now that's multicore.xml (but i'm starting to think it should have a more generic name). semantics can be: if you want to override the hardcoded defaults for these options, and you have a multicore.xml, you *must* put the settings there -- otherwise you *may* specify them in solrconfig.xml. -Hoss
