Varun Thacker commented on SOLR-11508:
--------------------------------------
+1 to the overall approach.
In the test case we should add another core creation where we specify a
different dataDir (
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_1/defining-core-properties.html#defining-core-properties-files
) and then make sure core discovery makes fine. This use-case might not make
a lot of sense ( like why specify "solr.data.home" and then go create a core at
a different place ) but maybe there are SolrCloud users who want to add a
replica at a later stage to another disk. I think the current approach doesn't
break this but having a test will be nice.
PS : I won't have time anytime soon to thoroughly go through it and commit it.

> Since Solr 7, it is possible to store Solr cores in separate disk locations
> using solr.data.home (see SOLR-6671). This is very useful when running Solr
> in Docker where data must be stored in a directory which is independent from
> the rest of the container.
> While this works well in standalone mode, it doesn't in Cloud mode as the
> core.properties automatically created by Solr are still stored in
> coreRootDirectory and cores created that way disappear when the Solr Docker
> container is redeployed.
> The solution is to configure coreRootDirectory to an empty directory that can
> be mounted outside the Docker container.
> The incoming patch makes this easier to do by allowing coreRootDirectory to
> be configured via a solr.core.home system property and SOLR_CORE_HOME
> environment variable.
