schema / config file names

[John Smodic <js...@us.ibm.com>]

Is it required for the schema.xml and solrconfig.xml to have those exact 
filenames?

Can I alias schema.xml to foo.xml in some way, for example?

Thanks.

Chris,
We have actually done that. Our requirement was basically have a single installation of Solr to assume different roles and each role had its own changes for optimisation done on solrconfig.xml and schema.xml

When we start a role we basically adapt to file role_solrconfig.xml and role_schema.xml and then fire up cores for each of these role. Is there a better way to solve this issue?

Thanks
Tirthankar

That's good to know.

I don't actually want to do it. I want to see just how much of Solr's 
schema and configuration can be reliably validated. The error messages 
I've been getting back for misconfigured setups are less than ideal at 
times. But it should be easy for me to validate certain things without 
talking to Solr at all, like the existence of the schema in ZK, that it's 
a valid XML file, etc.

Is there an XSD or any kind of validation for the schema / solrconfig? 
There's an unresolved Jira issue in SOLR-1758 that seems promising but 
never got merged.

Thanks.

Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing
with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y"
without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the
full issue.  Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all?
