ok thanks, continuing... >> numShards in SOLR_OPTS isn't a good idea, what happens if you want to >> create a collection with 5 shards?) yes I was following my old pattern CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS} -DnumShards=n
>> down the nodes and nuke the directories you created by hand and bring the >> nodes back up yes I did this >> create the collection via the Collections API CREATE I did this but kept getting "not running in SolrCloud mode". Added the -c option to my service script like this su -c "SOLR_INCLUDE=$SOLR_ENV $SOLR_INSTALL_DIR/bin/solr $SOLR_CMD -c" - $RUNAS and it did start in cloud mode. Is the -c necessary and is that the right place for it? I thought uncommenting the ZK param in solr.in.sh would put it in cloud mode. Reran the CREATE and got a shard1 and shard2 in the GUI cloud view. New directories are arc_search_shard1_replica1 and arc_search_shard2_replica1. Is this because I have only 2 Solr hosts running? I'm used to adding nodes one by one and having the replica assignments start when numShards count is exceeded. Transitioning from 4.2 to 5.1 and it's quite different! -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SolrCloud-5-1-startup-looking-for-standalone-config-tp4209118p4209222.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
