Chris Toomey created SOLR-4983: ---------------------------------- Summary: Problematic core naming by collection create API Key: SOLR-4983 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4983 Project: Solr Issue Type: Bug Components: SolrCloud Reporter: Chris Toomey
The SolrCloud collection create API creates cores named "foo_shard<x>_replica<y>" when asked to create collection "foo". This is problematic for at least 2 reasons: 1) these ugly core names show up in the core admin UI, and will vary depending on which node is being used, 2) it prevents collections from being used in SolrCloud joins, since join takes a core name as the fromIndex parameter and there's no single core name for the collection. As I've documented in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4905 and http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Joins-with-SolrCloud-tp4073199p4074038.html, SolrCloud join does work when the inner collection (fromIndex) is not sharded, assuming that collection is available and initialized at SolrCloud bootstrap time. Could this be changed to instead use the collection name for the core name? Or at least add a core-name option to the API? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
