             Summary: "bin/solr" tools should have more expansive classpath
                 Key: SOLR-17883
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17883
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SolrCLI
    Affects Versions: 9.9
            Reporter: Jason Gerlowski


The ref-guide singles out {{<solr_install>/lib}} as being a particularly good 
place to put plugin jars during Dockerfile packaging:

bq. The .jar files placed here are available to all Solr cores running on the 
node, and to node level plugins referenced in solr.xml — so basically 
everything. Contrary to <solr_home>/lib/, this directory is always located in 
the install dir, so it can be used e.g. for custom Dockerfile to place custom 
plugin jars.

But this comes with a bit of a hidden catch: the directory is on the classpath 
of Solr server, but it's *not* on the classpath for "bin/solr" tools more 
generally.  There may be other cases, but I've seen this cause issues with 
"bin/solr zk" in particular, where users may want to use their own 
ZkAclProvider or ZkCredProvider implementations with "bin/solr zk".

We should add {{<solr_install>/lib}} to the tool classpath, or update the 
ref-guide with other guidance on where jars can be placed to be loadable by the 
bin/solr tools.
