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

I still think this would be a good idea.

> The user may not want to use Solr's default solr-home dir location -- most likely to use a separate disk.  If you do this, there are two main problems:
> * solr.xml & zoo.cfg aren't there
> * configsets aren't there
> Of course you could copy it manually but that's an extra step, and it's particularly annoying to add this step to a Docker setup.  Docker is all the rage these days, and for good reason.  If I mount a volume at /opt/solr/server/solr then it basically masks this part of the built-in Solr image (thus making configsets completely invisible) and points to some place that will be empty.  Solr obviously complains.  I could set the solr-home to some other path that I mount, but Solr would still complain about an empty solr-home -- no solr.xml
> If solr-home is empty, and if it's a dir other than the default solr-home, then I think the solr-home should be initialized with solr.xml and zoo.cfg copied from the default solr-home.  I think configsets should be referenced from the default solr-home if there is no configsets dir in solr-home.
