Hi Erick, Thanks for your help. I am fairly new to Solr.
I'm not set on using SolrCloud. No need for ZooKeeper or multiple leader nodes. What I have is an existing instanceDir (with a conf and data directory, with all requisite components) and I would like to create a new core based on this preexisting directory. To that effect, I am trying to use the SolrAdmin CREATE method. I have Solr 5.3.1 installed on my machine, and am trying to create a core where instanceDir is a path to the core (also on my machine). Even if I move instanceDir into the Solr root, I still see that the only fields returned in the schema are the default fields. If there is an preferable (non-cloud) way to create a core to point at an existing instanceDir please advise!
