The examples included in Solr use <lib> config elements in solrconfig.xml to load extra jars, including the dataimport handler jar. This is not the best way to handle it, although it's pretty much the only way to make it work in the out-of-the-box examples. Instead, you should handle extra jars, including the MySQL JDBC driver, like this: * In your Solr home, which is the directory where solr.xml lives, create a "lib" directory. * Put all extra jars in that lib directory. * Remove all <lib> elements from each active solrconfig.xml. This lib directory will be automatically used without any config (in Solr 4.3 and later). Those jars will be available to all cores. Thanks, Shawn
