Ok one more simple question. We just upgraded to 4.6 from 4.2. In 4.2 we were *trying* to use the rest API function "create" to create cores without having to manually mess with files on the server. Is this what "create" was supposed to do? If so it was borken or we werent using it right. In any case in 4.6 is that the right way to programmatically add cores in discovery mode?
If you are NOT in SolrCloud mode, in order to create new cores, the config files need to already exist on the disk. This is the case with all versions of Solr.
If you're running in SolrCloud mode, the core is associated with a collection. Collections have a link to aconfig in zookeeper. The config is not stored with the core on the disk.
