Setting dataDir in solrconfig.xml is something that really only works in standalone Solr. For SolrCloud, this method has issues that are difficult to get around. Another option that works in ANY Solr mode is changing dataDir in the core.properties file that every core uses. Create the collection, allowing Solr to create the cores in the default way. Shut down Solr and edit the core.properties file for each core that you want to have the data in a different location. Add a dataDir property pointing at the new location for that core's data. If the core actually has any contents, you can move the data to that location, but if not, you can simply let Solr create the data itself when it starts back up. The core.properties file is in Java properties format, which is well documented in multiple places around the Internet. https://www.google.com/search?q=java+properties+format&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 If the dataDir location is not an absolute path, then it will be relative to the instanceDir -- the place where core.properties is. The dataDir value defaults to a simple value of "data". Thanks, Shawn
