I use the same folder naming convention of Solr example for my Solr 4.2.1 cloud. I have a collection1 folder and under it I have a conf folder. When I starting up my first node, I indicate that:
-Dsolr.solr.home=./solr -Dsolr.data.dir=./solr/data -DnumShards=5 -Dbootstrap_confdir=./solr/collection1/conf -Dcollection.configName=myconf when I use external Zookeeper ensemble. However I see that Zookeeper keeps that config file. What should I do when I startup new nodes at my SolrCloud. Should I remove conf folder from sources and -Dbootstrap_confdir=./solr/collection1/con parameter from startup parameters because of Zookeeper keeps it? Also what should I do if I have multiple configs at Zookeeper, how can I indicate my new starting up instance to use which config at Zookeeper?
