I am migrating from solr 3.6 to 4.3.1. Using the core create rest call,
something like:
http://10.1.10.150:8090/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=foo&instanceDir=/home/solrdata/foo&persist=true&wt=json&dataDir=/home/solrdata/foo
I am able to add data to the index it creates within the /home/solrdata/foo
directory and search it. The solr config however does not contain the dataDir
path. When the process is restarted the dataDir is set to /home/solrdata and
not /home/solrdata/foo.
Now if I create the index, index some docs, stop the process, manually edit the
solr.xml to include dataDir search works.
I am not sure but it seems that in the following class dataDir is not persisted
in a case that looks like it is work in progress for solr 5.0.
CoreContainer.addPersistOneCore
I also played with passing properties in the create args of the form:
property.dataDir=/home/solrdata/foo
That didnt seem to help but I may not be understanding the exact property
syntax.
Any clues?
Cheers
C
