I have 1000's of cores and to reduce the cost of loading unloading schema.xml, I have my solr.xml as mentioned here - http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin namely:
<solr> <cores adminPath="/admin/cores" shareSchema="true"> ... </cores> </solr> However, I am not sure where to keep the common schema.xml file? In which case, do I need the schema.xml in the conf folder of each and every core? My folder structure is: multicore (contains solr.xml) |_ core0 |_ conf | |_ schema.xml | |_ solrconfig.xml | |_ other files core1 |_ conf | |_ schema.xml | |_ solrconfig.xml | |_ other files | exampledocs (contains 1000's of .csv files and post.jar) Satish
