Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-3619: --------------------------------------- First off, love the new stuff! Coming a little late to the party, but just now finally checking this out. So, I built the distro, copied it to a new directory and unpacked it. I then went to the README which is the first thing I do for any "new" software (as I suspect most devs do) and here's what I see: {quote} This will launch a Solr server in the background of your shell, bound to port 8983. After starting Solr, you can create a new core for indexing your data by doing: bin/solr create_core -n <name> {quote} and then a few lines later: {quote} After starting Solr in cloud mode, you can create a new collection for indexing your data by doing: bin/solr create_collection -n <name> {quote} You've already lost me (well, not me, literally, but noobs, I'm sure). What the heck is the diff between a collection and a core and why should I care so early on? Why should I have to know that distinction at this stage of the game? I get that it relates to the Collections API and cloud mode, but I'm a new user and that distinction, in my estimation, is at least a day or two away (and hopefully is resolved at some point and becomes a non-issue) at which time it can be explained via the Docs in the ref guide. Just my 2 cents. > Rename 'example' dir to 'server' and pull examples into an 'examples' > directory > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-3619 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3619 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Mark Miller > Assignee: Timothy Potter > Fix For: 5.0, Trunk > > Attachments: SOLR-3619.patch, SOLR-3619.patch, SOLR-3619.patch, > managed-schema, server-name-layout.png, solrconfig.xml > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
