> The various "intro to solr cloud" pages (for example https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Getting+Started+with+SolrCloud) currently tell new users to use the example/ directory as a basis for setting up new cloud instances. These directories contain, under the default solr/ solr home directory, a single core, defined to point to the collection1 collection.
> It's not at all obvious that, to change the name of your collection, you have to go and edit the core.properties file underneath the solr/ directory. A lot of users on the mailing list also seem to get confused by having to include bootstrap_confdir and numShards the first time they run solr, but not afterwards. So here's a suggestion:
> * Have a new solrcloud/ directory in the example webapp that just contains a solr.xml file
> * Change the startup example code to just include -Dsolr.solr.home and -DzkRun
> * Tell the user to then run zkcli to bootstrap their configuration (solr startup and configuration loading are kept separate)
> * Tell the users to use the collections API to create a new collection, naming it however they want (confignames, collection names and core names are all kept separate)
> This way, there's a lot less 'magic' and hidden defaults involved, and all the steps to get a cloud up and running (start processes, upload configuration, create collection) are made distinguishable.
