-------------------------------------
Summary: Core admin and solr.xml documentation for 4.0 needs to be
updated for 4.0 changes
Key: SOLR-3753
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3753
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 4.0-BETA
Reporter: Tom Burton-West
The existing documentation on Solr Cores needs to be updated to reflect changes
in Solr 4.0
If having at least one solr core declared is mandatory for Solr 4.0, that needs
to be stated in the release notes, in the example solr.xml file, and on the
wiki page for CoreAdmin. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin.
In the absence of a solr.xml file, current 4.0 behavior is to use defaults
declared in CoreContainer.java. This needs to be documented; probably in
solr.xml and/or on the CoreAdmin page. (See line 94 of CoreAdmin.java where
the default name "collection1" is declared. Without this documentation, users
can get confused about where the "collection1" core name is coming from. (I'm
one of them).
The solr.xml file states that paths are relative to the "installation
directory" This needs to be clarified. In addition it appears that currently
relative paths specified using "." or ".." are interpreted as string literals.
If that is not a bug, than this behavior needs to be documented. If it is a
bug, please let me know and I'll open another issue.
The example/solr/README.txt Needs to clarify which files need to be in Solr
Home and which files are mandatory or optional in the directories containing
configuration files (and data files) for Solr cores.
