-------------------------------------------------------------
New leaner version since there was indeed a simpler way to achieve the same
(reviewing does help to improve, thanks Shalin).
Added a specific persistence verification & a multicore inspired test to verify
shared schema/config configuration.
I updated the issue description to reflect the patch feature & reasons for code
modification.
was (Author: henrib):
New stripped down version since there was indeed a leaner way to achieve
the same (reviewing does help to improve, thanks Shalin).
Added a specific persistence verification & a multicore inspired test to verify
shared schema/config configuration.
I'll update the issue description to reflect the patch code.

> This patch refers to 'generalized configuration properties' as specified by
> [HossMan|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-350?focusedCommentId=12562834#action_12562834]
> This means configuration & schema files can use expression based on
> properties defined in multicore.xml.
> h3. Use cases:
> Describe core data directories from solr.xml as properties.
> Share the same schema and/or config file between multiple cores.
> Share reusable fragments of schemar & configuration between multiple cores.
> h3. Usage:
> h4. solr.xml
> This*solr.xml* will be used to illustrates using properties for different
> purpose.
> {code:xml}
> <solr persistent="true">
> <property name="version">1.3</property>
> <property name="lang">english, french</property>
> <property name="en-cores">en,core0</property>
> <property name="fr-cores">fr,core1</property>
> <cores adminPath="/admin/cores">
> <core name="${en-cores}" instanceDir="./">
> <property name="version">3.5</property>
> <property name="l10n">EN</property>
> <property name="ctlField">core0</property>
> <property name="comment">This is a sample</property>
> </core>
> <core name="${fr-cores}" instanceDir="./">
> <property name="version">2.4</property>
> <property name="l10n">FR</property>
> <property name="ctlField">core1</property>
> <property name="comment">Ceci est un exemple</property>
> </core>
> </cores>
> </solr>
> {code}
> {{version}} : if you update your solr.xml or your cores for various motives,
> it can be useful to track of a version. In this example, this will be used to
> define the {{dataDir}} for each core.
> {{en-cores}},{{fr-cores}}: with aliases, if the list is long or repetitive,
> it might be convenient to use a property that can then be used to describe
> the Solr core name.
> {{instanceDir}}: note that both cores will use the same instance directory,
> sharing their configuration and schema. The {{dataDir}} will be set for each
> of them from the *solrconfig.xml*.
> h4. solrconfig.xml
> This is where our *solr.xml* property are used to define the data directory
> as a composition of, in our example, the language code {{l10n}} and the core
> version stored in {{version}}.
> {code:xml}
> <config>
> <dataDir>${solr.solr.home}/data/${l10n}-${version}</dataDir>
> ....
> </config>
> {code}
> h5. schema.xml
> The {{include}} allows to import a file within the schema (or a solrconfig);
> this can help de-clutter long schemas.
> The {{ctlField}} is just illustrating that a field & its type can be set
> through properties as well; in our example, we will want the 'english' core
> to refer to an 'english-configured' field and the 'french' core to a
> 'french-configured' one. The type for the field is defined as {{text-EN}} or
> {{text-FR}} after expansion.
> {code:xml}
> <schema name="example core ${l10n}" version="1.1">
> <types>
> ...
> <include resource="text-l10n.xml"/>
> </types>
> <fields>
> ...
> <field name="${ctlField}" type="text-${l10n}" indexed="true"
> stored="true" multiValued="true" />
> </fields>
> {code}
> This schema is importing this* text-l10n.xml* file which is a *fragment*; the
> fragment tag must be present & indicates the file is to be included. Our
> example only defines different stopwords for each language but you could of
> course extend this to stemmers, synonyms, etc.
> {code:xml}
> <fragment>
> <fieldType name="text-FR" class="solr.TextField"
> positionIncrementGap="100">
> ...
> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"
> words="stopwords-fr.txt"/>
> ...
> </fieldType>
> <fieldType name="text-EN" class="solr.TextField"
> positionIncrementGap="100">
> ...
> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"
> words="stopwords-en.txt"/>
> ...
> </fieldType>
> </fragment>
> {code}
> h4. Technical specifications
> solr.xml can define properties at the multicore & each core level.
> Properties defined in the multicore scope can override system properties.
> Properties defined in a core scope can override multicore & system properties.
> Property definitions can use expressions to define their name & value; these
> expressions are evaluated in their outer scope context .
> CoreContainer serialization keeps properties as defined; persistence is
> idem-potent. (ie property expressions are written, not their evaluation).
> The core descriptor properties are automatically defined in each core
> context, namely:
> solr.core.instanceDir
> solr.core.name
> solr.core.configName
> solr.core.schemaName
> h3. Coding notes:
> DOMUtil.java:
> refactored substituteSystemProperties to use an Evaluator;
> an Evaluator is a DOM visitor that expands property expressions "in place"
> using a property map as an evaluation context
> added an asString(node) method for logging purpose
> CoreDescriptor.java:
> added an expression member to keep property expressions as defined in
> solr.xml for persistence - allowing to write file as defined (not as expanded)
> CoreContainer.java:
> add an expression member to keep property expression as defined in solr.xml
> for persistence - allowing to write file as defined (not as expanded);
> solrx.xml peristence is idem-potent
> added a local DOMUtil.Evaluator that tracks property expressions to evaluate
> & store them
> issues outlined through solr-646:
> fix in load:
> CoreDescriptor p = new CoreDescriptor(this, names, ....);
> was: CoreDescriptor p = new CoreDescriptor(this, name, ...);
> fix in load;
> register(aliases.get(a), core, false);
> was of register(aliases.get(i), core, false);
> CoreAdminHandler.java
> added an optional fileName to persist so it is possible to write the solr.xml
> to a different file (for comparison purpose)
> CoreAdminRequest.java
> added PersistRequest to allow passing optional fileName
> Config.java:
> subsituteProperties has been moved out of constructor & doc member made
> protected to allow override
> added an IncludesEvaluator that deals with include/fragment
> SolrConfig.java & IndexSchema.ava
> added explicit calls to substituteProperties to perform property/include
> expansion
> SolrResourceLoader.java
> added properties member to store CoreContainer & per-SolrCore properties
> added constructor properties parameter & getter for properties
> added initial property loading allowing installation wide properties &
> solr.solr.home to be defined in a 'solr.properties' file
> SolrProperties.java:
> test inspired by MulticoreExampleTestBase.java
> loads 2 cores sharing a schema & config;
> config define dataDir using a property
> schema uses a localization (l10n) property to define an attribute
> persists the file to check it keeps the expression properties
