             Summary: Clone Collection
                 Key: SOLR-16153
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-16153
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: SolrCloud
            Reporter: David Smiley


It should be possible to "clone" a collection, and to do so cheaply.  This 
might be its own command or be an option of collection creation; either way, 
it'd be great to support the vast majority of the same options of collection 
creation.  A cloned collection should be the same in every way (shard ranges, 
collection properties, replicas types and counts, etc.) unless configured to be 
different (e.g. specify a different configSet).  Most importantly, a cloned 
collection should have the same data, and this can be accomplished via UNIX 
hard links (when supported) to the underlying files.  This would make clones 
cheap!  A no-data option should be supported as well, useful when the intended 
action is to re-index subsequently.
