that definitely sounds bad we should certainly try to fix that before 5.0 
comes out since it does have back-compat implictations...

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6718

...better to have a 5.0 release note about tweaking rel-paths when 
people expect more changes then a 5.x release note that might be easily 
overlooked.

Relative to the solr home sounds like the best option to me.  It's what
I would expect, since most of the rest of Solr uses directories relative
to other directories that may or may not be explicitly defined.  I
haven't researched in-depth, but I think that the solr home itself is
the only thing in Solr that defaults to something relative to the
current working directory ... and that seems like a very good policy to
keep.

Thanks,
Shawn

get it committed.

Hmmm, not sure though, this'll change the current behavior that people might be
counting on

solr.xml coreRootDirectory relative to solr home

[Andreas Hubold]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a different core discovery root directory in 
solr.xml with the coreRootDirectory setting as described in 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Format+of+solr.xml


I'd like to just set it to a subdirectory of solr home (a "cores" 
directory to avoid confusion with configsets and other directories). I 
tried


cores

but that's interpreted relative to the current working directory. Other 
paths such as sharedLib are interpreted relative to Solr Home and I had 
expected this here too.


I do not set solr home via system property but via JNDI so I don't think 
I can use a ${solr.home}/cores or something like that? It would be nice 
solr home were available for property substitution even if set via JNDI.


Is there another way to set a path relative to solr home here?

Regards,
Andreas
