Hi, Paul and Shalin will know about this. What I'm seeing looks a lot like what Walter reported in March: * http://markmail.org/thread/dfsj7hqi5buzhd6n
And this commit from Paul seems possibly related: * http://markmail.org/message/cjvjffrfszlku3ri ...because of things like: - cores = new CoreContainer(new SolrResourceLoader(instanceDir)); + cores = new CoreContainer(new SolrResourceLoader(solrHome)); ... if (!idir.isAbsolute()) { - idir = new File(loader.getInstanceDir(), dcore.getInstanceDir()); + idir = new File(solrHome, dcore.getInstanceDir()); ... I don't have dataDir in my solr.xml, only absolute paths to my cores.
