You should be able to use user defined properties within core.properties. However, it sounds like you are uploading core.properties to Zookeeper. In SolrCloud, core.properties is not uploaded to Zookeeper. You place core.properties within your core’s top level directory and the cores are automatically discovered. Your configuration set which includes your solrconfig.xml and schema.xml would be uploaded to Zookeeper.
See the following around core discovery and the very last sentence on the page at the first link which speaks to “user defined” properties and the second link which discusses the different ways to use user defined properties. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Defining+core.properties <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Defining+core.properties> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Configuring+solrconfig.xml#Configuringsolrconfig.xml-SubstitutingPropertiesinSolrConfigFiles <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Configuring+solrconfig.xml#Configuringsolrconfig.xml-SubstitutingPropertiesinSolrConfigFiles> I just tried a quick test and defining a property in core.properties does get picked up and substituted in solrconfig.xml. However, I tried to use solrcore.properties as described at the link above, but it did not work. So you may need to just ensure your config set is uploaded (without core.properties) and make sure your core.properties exist in the root directory of each core with your custom properties. See the section on “Upload a configuration directory” below for how to upload to Zookeeper. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Command+Line+Utilities <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Command+Line+Utilities> - Kevin > On Aug 6, 2015, at 4:37 AM, Upayavira <u...@odoko.co.uk> wrote: > > Have you looked at the collections API?
