I am trying to setup on my dev workstation a small SolrCloud in order to assess
the faceting capability in Solr 5.5 and I have several questions.
First some context:
I need to be able to add a field that uses a custom analyzer.
In a perfect world I would be able to just drop the 'customanalyzer.jar'
somewhere in the solr folder and trigger zookeeper to propagate that to the
various cores. As I have not seen any mention of how to do that in the ref
guide or online I am assuming I really do need to use the blob store thingy
which is unfortunate.
I have worked through the following steps,
create my initial collection 'tdt2' based off of 'basic_configs'
create .system collection to add jars
add 'customanalyzer.jar' to .system
attempt (but get errors) to 'add-runtimelib' to tdt2 collection
shutdown solr so I can restart with "-Denable.runtime.lib=true"
start solr
run healthcheck on solr -c tdt2 and learn that
tdt2 does not exist
run healthcheck on solr -c .system and learn
that .system does not exist
So my initial questions are...
how do I start solrcloud so that it 'loads' the collections
that have been created?
is there a more straightforward way to add a custom analyzer
when using SolrCloud?
what mechanism do people actually use to load plugins to solr
cloud?
Thanks!
