We are currently having many custom properties defined in the
core.properties which are used in our solrconfig.xml, e.g.
str name=enabled${solr.enable.cachewarming:true}/str
Now we want to migrate to SolrCloud and want to define these properties for
a collection. But defining properties when creating a collection just
writes them into the core.properties of the created cores. This is a pain,
because we have a lot of properties and you have to specify each as an URL
parameter. Furthermore it seems that these properties are not propagated to
the cores for new shards, if you e.g. split a shard - error-prone.
As you already mentioned, we could resolve this properties ourselves by
using many configsets instead of just one. My question was, if it is
possible to use just one configset in this case and specify collection
specific properties at the collection level? This seems for me the better
way to handle the configuration complexity.

_What_ properties? Details matter
And how do you do this now? Assuming you do this with separate conf
directories, these are then just configsets in Zookeeper and you can
have as many of them as you want. Problem here is that each one of
them is a complete set of schema and config files, AFAIK the config
set is the finest granularity that you have OOB.

Hi,
we are trying to migrate from Solr 4.10 to SolrCloud 4.10. I understood
that SolrCloud uses collections as abstraction from the cores. What I am
missing is a possibility to store collection-specific properties in
Zookeeper. Using property.foo=bar in CREATE-URLs just sets core-specific
properties which are not distributed, e.g. if I migrate a shard from one
node to another.
How do I define collection-specific properties (to be used in
solrconfig.xml and schema.xml) which get distributed with the collection
to
all nodes?
Why do I try that? Currently we have different cores which structure is
identical, but have each having some specific properties. I would like to
have a single configuration for them in Zookeeper from which I want to
create different collections, which just differ in the value of some
properties.
