Daniel,
Sounds almost like you're reinventing the wheel. Could you possibly automate this through puppet or Chef? With a VDI environment, then all you would need to do is build a new VM Node based on original setup. Then you can just roll out the node as one of the zk nodes. Just a thought on that subject. v/r, -Mark H. -----Original Message----- From: Davis, Daniel (NIH/NLM) [C] [mailto:daniel.da...@nih.gov] Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2015 3:10 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Testing Solr configuration, schema, and other fields At my organization, I want to create a tool that allows users to keep a solr configuration as a Git repository. Then, I want my Continuous Integration environment to take some branch of the git repository and "publish" it into ZooKeeper/SolrCloud. Working on my own, it is only a very small pain to note foolish errors I've made, fix them, and restart. However, I want my users to be able to edit their own Solr schema and config *most* of the time, at least on development servers. They will not have command-line access to these servers, and I want to avoid endless restarts. I'm not interested in fighting to maintain such a useless thing as a DTD/XSD without community support; what I really want to know is whether Solr will start and can index some sample documents. I'm wondering whether I might be able to build a tool to fire up an EmbeddedSolrServer and capture error messages/exceptions in a reasonable way. This tool could then be run by my users before they commit to git, and then again by the CI server before it "publishes" the configuration to ZooKeeper/SolrCloud. Any suggestions?
