Hoss Man commented on SOLR-8943:
--------------------------------
something needs to change here ... perhaps add a section on explicitly creating
collections (a sorely lacking bit of info in the tutorial anyway) and skip the
introduction of the techproducts sample data until after that happens?
> Solr tutorial can give errors when indexing techproduct data depending on
> what user has already indexed

> Solr's install includes a handful of Solr XML formatted files with example
> data (mostly mocked tech product data). NOTE: This tech product data has a
> more domain-specific configuration, including schema and browse UI. The
> bin/solr script includes built-in support for this by running bin/solr start
> -e techproducts which not only starts Solr but also then indexes this data
> too (be sure to bin/solr stop -all before trying it out). However, the
> example below assumes Solr was started with bin/solr start -e cloud to stay
> consistent with all examples on this page, and thus the collection used is
> "gettingstarted", not "techproducts".

> But the assumption at the end of this paragraph -- that the sample
> techproduct documents can be added to the existing gettingstarted collection
> -- is fundementally flawed based on how the early sections of the tutorial
> are written.
> With a completley clean, unused, empty gettingstarted demo collection,
> {{bin/post -c gettingstarted example/exampledocs/*.xml}} does work (on master
> anyway) but if you have been following along with teh tutorial you don't have
> a completley empty gettingstarted collection -- you will already have at a
> minimum the files in "docs", but also the user has been enocuraged to index
> arbitrary files from their computer...

> To index your own data, re-run the directory indexing command pointed to your
> own directory of documents. For example, on a Mac instead of docs/ try
> ~/Documents/ or ~/Desktop/ ...
> {quote}
> ...once the user has done that, it is not safe to assume that the techproduct
> sample documents can definitely be imported cleanly
