-------------------------------------------------------------

Otis, reading your requirements, I'd be considering using a Solr core (the 
"metacore") to handle an indexed version of multicore.xml; if you have a few 
thousands indices, it might be convenient to use queries in some occasions to 
select/retrieve/operate on one/many of them.
The xml version of the multicore persistent file could be written at 
application/multicore shutdown and the Lucene based one could be recreated at 
application/multicore startup; creating a new index would just induce creating 
a new document in the multicore core (and in fact all CRUD operations could be 
handled that way) and we'd benefit from Solr autocommit feature & al, tackling 
your functional requirements reusing well-known capabilities & code.
This also removes the "hack" loop used to find a core to work with when issuing 
a multicore/admin request (and the getDefaultCore call). Got a patch running 
for this now if this seems interesting.


On configuring easily the data/index dir from multicore.xml, it seems we all 
agree that variables definitions should be able to allow just that; the 
non-extensible version of the feature (see previous comment)- where we dont 
allow the user to augment the environment but only expose 'solr.multicore.*'- 
did not trigger any comment yet, Otis/Hoss/Ryan what do you think of it ?

For ~10 indices/cores, this seems like overkill though...
