Hello,

Collections and cores are almost the same. In a monoinstance environnement, collection or core are physical indexes. But a collection is more like a logical index : in a distributed environment, a collection is a logical index that is splitted/replicated in multiple cores (physical indexes) on the different machines for distribution.

To create a collection in a monoinstance environnement, you must point to a directory that contains a valid configuration for this core. You should copy the directory of an existing core, delete the core.properties file and the data folder and then add it though the Solr Admin.

P.S. : you'd better to post your question on the solr mailing instead of the lucene mailing list :-)

Hello,

I am using SOLR 4.6.0.

Is a SOLR core the same as a 'collection'?

In SOLR Admin, when I create a new core, I get the following message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error CREATEing SolrCore 'core2': Unable to create core: core2 Caused by: Can't 
find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in classpath or 
'/home/solr/solr-4.6.0/example/solr/core2/conf'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What gives?

Many thanks.

Philippe
