Cassandra Targett resolved SOLR-8943.

    Fix Version/s: 7.0

This is fixed (IMO) by the redesign of the tutorial done in SOLR-10842.

> Solr's install includes a handful of Solr XML formatted files with example data (mostly mocked tech product data). NOTE: This tech product data has a more domain-specific configuration, including schema and browse UI. The bin/solr script includes built-in support for this by running bin/solr start -e techproducts which not only starts Solr but also then indexes this data too (be sure to bin/solr stop -all before trying it out). However, the example below assumes Solr was started with bin/solr start -e cloud to stay consistent with all examples on this page, and thus the collection used is "gettingstarted", not "techproducts".

> But the assumption at the end of this paragraph -- that the sample techproduct documents can be added to the existing gettingstarted collection -- is fundementally flawed based on how the early sections of the tutorial are written.
> With a completley clean, unused, empty gettingstarted demo collection, {{bin/post -c gettingstarted example/exampledocs/*.xml}} does work (on master anyway) but if you have been following along with teh tutorial you don't have a completley empty gettingstarted collection -- you will already have at a minimum the files in "docs", but also the user has been enocuraged to index arbitrary files from their computer...

> To index your own data, re-run the directory indexing command pointed to your own directory of documents. For example, on a Mac instead of docs/ try ~/Documents/ or ~/Desktop/ ...

> ...once the user has done that, it is not safe to assume that the techproduct sample documents can definitely be imported cleanly
