Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-6671:
-----------------------------------

bq. What determines the name of the dataDir? Is it the core name, or is the 
last path component of the instanceDir?
Here's the code:
{code}
dataDir = 
Paths.get(cd.getCoreContainer().getSolrHome()).resolve(dataHomePath).resolve(cd.getName()
 + File.separator + cd.getDataDir()).toAbsolutePath().toString();
{code}
So you will typically see 
{{/path/to/solr.data.dir/collname_shard1_replica1/data/}}, but in your example, 
it would probably be {{/path/to/solr.data.dir/s0live/s0_1/}}. I had to include 
core name as one level so we don't end up with all "data" folders in the same 
root dir. Guess I see a bug right there - we need to support absolute path 
{{dataDir}} which would override the {{solr.data.home}}.

> Many users prefer to deploy code, config and data on separate disk locations, 
> so the default of placing the indexes under 
> {{$\{solr.solr.home\}/$\{solr.core.name\}/data}} is not always wanted.
> In a multi-core/collection system, there is not much help in the 
> {{solr.data.dir}} option, as it would set the {{dataDir}} to the same folder 
> for all collections. One workaround, if you don't want to hardcode paths in 
> your {{solrconfig.xml}}, is to specify the {{dataDir}} property in each 
> {{solr.properties}} file.
> A more elegant solution would be to introduce a new Java-option 
> {{solr.data.home}} which would be to data the same as {{solr.solr.home}} is 
> for config. If set, all collections would default their {{dataDir}} as 
> {{$\{solr.data.home\)/$\{solr.core.name\}/data}}
