Re: Solr Cloud and relative paths in solrconfig.xml lib directives

[Dominique Bejean <do...@eolya.fr>]

Hi,

I use to put all dependency jar files (dih, adbc driver, …) in a lib
directory in the solr home directory where your shard are created.

something like this

solr/
    solr.xml
    cloudcollection1_shard2_replica2/
    lib/


In solrconfig.xml, I remove all the <lib …> directives except this one <lib
 dir="../lib" />
You may need to restart your nodes after creating your lib directory

Regards

Dominique
