[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-7323) Core Admin API looks for config sets in wrong directory

["Jan Høydahl (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7323?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17121327#comment-17121327 ] 

Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-7323:
-----------------------------------

{{configSetBaseDir}} is configurable in solr.xml and defaults to {{$SOLR_HOME/configsets}}.

Standalone Solr needs this as R/W since we allow editing configsets on disk.

But Cloud never touches this folder except for uploading _default on init.

Perhpaps static R/O configsets need a new stable location in the distribution, and then re-design the way configsets are initialized as part of an extended [SIP-1|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/HIxSC]? I mean, the whole configset story is so confusing already that it needs some TLC :)

> *To Reproduce*
> Try to create a core using Core Admin API and a config set:
> {code}
> curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=new_core&configSet=basic_configs'
> {code}
> *Expected Outcome*
> Core is created in `/var/solr/data/new_core` using one of the config sets installed by the installer script in `/opt/solr/server/solr/configsets/basic_configs`.
> *Actual Outcome*
> {code}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <response>
> <lst name="responseHeader"><int name="status">400</int><int name="QTime">9</int></lst><lst name="error"><str name="msg">Error CREATEing SolrCore 'new_core': Unable to create core [new_core] Caused by: Could not load configuration from directory /var/solr/data/configsets/basic_configs</str><int name="code">400</int></lst>
> </response>
> {code}
> Why is it looking for config sets in /var/solr/data? I don't know. If that's where configsets are supposed to be placed, then why does the installer put them somewhere else?
> There's no documented API to tell it to look for config sets anywhere else, either. It will always search inside /var/solr/data.
