But as when I launch a solr instance without "-Dbootstrap_conf=true", just once core is launched and I cannot see the other core.
This behavior is the same as Mark's reply here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-dev/201205.mbox/%3cbb7ad9bf-389b-4b94-8c1b-bbfc4028a...@gmail.com%3E - bootstrap_conf: you pass it true and it reads solr.xml and uploads the conf set for each SolrCore it finds, gives the conf set the name of the collection and associates each collection with the same named config set. So the first just lets you boot strap one collection easily...but what if you start with a multi-core, multi-collection setup that you want to bootstrap into SolrCloud? And they don't share a common config set? That's what the second command is for. You can setup 30 local SolrCores in solr.xml and then just bootstrap all 30 different config sets up and have them fully linked with each collection just by passing bootstrap_conf=true. Note: I am using -Dbootstrap_conf=true and not -Dbootstrap_confdir Thanks, -Utkarsh On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 2:14 AM, Jan Høydahl <jan....@cominvent.com> wrote: > Hi, > > The -Dbootstrap_confdir option is really only meant for a first-time > bootstrap for your development environment, not for serious use. > > Once you got your config into ZK you should modify the config directly in > ZK. > There are many tools (also 3rd party) for this.
