[jira] [Comment Edited] (SOLR-7727) bin/solr script incorrectly requires solr.xml in $SOLR_HOME

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7727?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14604918#comment-14604918 ]

------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking more about this, an alternative solution is to change {{SolrDispatchFilter}} to look for {{solr.xml}} in ZK by default in cloud mode, and fallback to {{SOLR_HOME}} for back compat, getting rid of {{-Dsolr.solrxml.location}}. Do you see any problems with such a solution? [~erickerickson] why was an explicit system-prop chosen in SOLR-4718? I'm probably not considering the full complexity of the logic here..

Aside: Currently, if you start Solr in non-cloud mode with solrxml.location specified, e.g. {{bin/solr start -Dsolr.solrxml.location=zookeeper}}, Jetty starts up but in a bad state, instead of failing fast, but no error is given in the start script. Trying to access Solr gives 500 error with nullpointer. This would also be fixed with the code-change above, since loading solr.xml from ZK would only be attempted when in ZK mode.

> The bin/solr script currently requires solr.xml to exist in $SOLR_HOME, going against SOLR-4718 which allows it to be hosted in Zookeeper.
> Line 1219:
> if [ ! -e "$SOLR_HOME/solr.xml" ]; then
>   echo -e "\nSolr home directory $SOLR_HOME must contain a solr.xml file!\n"
>   exit 1
> fi
> Commenting this out, and specifying the following in one's solr.in.sh, allows solr.xml to once again be hosted in ZK:
> SOLR_OPTS="$SOLR_OPTS -Dsolr.solrxml.location=zookeeper"
