-----------------------------------------------------------------
No, nor is there any consensus on what should be done. For SolrCloud, the
process has been resolved for creating _collections_, but for stand-alone Solr
you have to put the configurations "in the right place" to create a core with
the core admin API.
For that matter, the create core API has never been broken, it's worked as
expected. The question is whether that expectation should be changed.

> Key: SOLR-7316
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7316
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Server
> Affects Versions: 5.0
> Reporter: Mark Haase
>
> *Steps To Reproduce*
> {code}
> curl
> 'http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=new_core&instanceDir=new_core'
> {code}
> *Expected Result*
> Create a core called "new_core".
> *Actual Result*
> {quote}
> Error CREATEing SolrCore 'new_core': Unable to create core [new_core] Caused
> by: Can't find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in classpath or
> '/var/solr/data/new_core/conf'
> {quote}
> Somebody on solr-users tells me:
> {quote}
> The CoreAdmin API requires that the instanceDir already exist, with a
> conf directory inside it that contains solrconfig.xml, schema.xml, and
> any other necessary config files.
> {quote}
> Huh? Where is this magical knowledge mentioned in the [API
> documentation|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/CoreAdmin+API]?
> Another user on the list serve says:
> {quote}
> In fact, yes. The thing to remember here is that you're using a much
> older approach that had its roots in the pre-cloud days.
> {quote}
> *The whole point of creating APIs is to abstract out details that the caller
> doesn't need to know, and yet this API requires an understanding of Solr's
> internal file structure and history of the project?* I'm speechless.
