Hi, I want to setup a solrcloud. I want to test sharding with one node, no replication. I have some experience with the non-cloud solr and I also run the cloud examples. I also have to use the DIH for importing. I think I can live with the internal zookeeper.
I did my first steps with solr-6.5.1. My first question is: Is it possible to setup a new solrcloud with the web-ui only? When I start solr with: 'bin/solr start -c' I get a menu on the left side where I can create new collections and cores. I think when I have only one node with no replication a collection maps to one core, right? Should I create first the core or the collection? What should I fill in as instanceDir? For example: When I create at the command line a 'books/data' directory under '$HOME/solr-6.5.1/server/solr' and then fill in 'books' as instanceDir and 'data' as data-Directory I get a 'SolrCore Initialization Failures' books: org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ZooKeeperException:org.apache.solr.common.cloud.ZooKeeperException: Could not find configName for collection books found:null Is something like a step by step manual available? Next step would be to setup DIH again. This is another problem I see: With my non-cloud core I have a conf-directory where I have dataimport.xml, schema.xml and solrconfig.xml. I think these 3 files are enough to import my data from my relational database. Under example/cloud I could not find one of them. How to setup DIH for the solrcould? Best regards Thomas
