I have 300 cores so I feel your pain :-) What we do is use a relative path for the file. It works if you use ../../common/schema.xml for each core, then just create a common directory off your solr home and put your schema file there.
I found this works great with solrconfig.xml and all of it's dependencies as well. Another choice is to look at the sharedLib parameter, which adds some directory to your classpath. I played with this for a little bit and couldn't get it working, so I went with the relative path solution. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/shareSchema-true-location-of-schema-xml-tp3297392p3364809.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
