What is the status?
Since you've got zookeeper, you're running in cloud mode. This means that you should be dealing with collections, not individual cores. In zookeeper, the config name is associated with the collection. The collection is built using one or more shards. Shards are built using one or more replicas. Each replica is a core. You can create collections with the Collections API. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTerminology http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud#Managing_collections_via_the_Collections_API I had been thinking that the configName parameter you are talking about is a way to use SolrCloud's named configuration sets when *not* in SolrCloud mode. I thought that the following issue was where this would happen, and that the config sets would be on the filesystem. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4478 After reading the issue (which was committed to 4.8), I am very confused, because despite the issue title being about non-SolrCloud mode, later comments include a lot of discussions about zookeeper. Can anyone else shed any light on SOLR-4478 and the configName parameter in core.properties? Thanks, Shawn
