Solr 5 Tutorial which does NOT use dist examples
I am looking for a good tutorial on Solr 5 that does not use the provided
dist examples. I am trying to setup a 'test' environment - using embedded
zookeeper - that would mimic what would need to be done in test/prod
without having to spin up multiple machines to do so.
Specifically, we are looking for documentation on where to put our
solrconfig files, what configs are needed for new nodes, etc. (Can this be
handled through the admin ui?) I do not see any documentation that offers
this kind granularity. Does anyone know of a good resource they might be
able to point me to, other than the official docs (we've been through them
already)
Thank you,
Dean

bin/solr start -d techproducts
that will set up a non-cloud (i.e. stand-alone) Solr that you can use
as a model. Note that Solr uses "core discovery", which basically
recursively descends from SOLR_HOME and any time it finds a
"core.properties" file it assumes it's at the root of another core and
loads it.
To start Solr with a script, use 'bin/solr start -s some_directory'.
"some_directory" is "solr home" as above. You can manually put as many
directories in SOLR_HOME as you want and as long as each has a "conf"
directory and the associated "core.propreties" file they should all be
found.
If you copy things around, however, do be careful to edit the
core.properties file appropriately, in this case just make the "name"
parameter unique.
Best,
Erick

Well, the cloud initialization steps are in the scripts that set those
examples up. Based on your parameters too. To connect with Oracle to
read data, you are probably looking for DIH (DataImportHandler) and
Oracle as your keywords - not really connected to the scripts.
But if you really don't know how the configuration is setup, I'd start
with non-cloud examples that store stuff on the disk (instead of in
Zookeeper) and get very familiar with it there.

Alex.

Alex,
I already have gone over all the great examples, esp the cloud. My main
goal is to stand up my own collections, my own nodes, etc without relying
on the cloud example's auto-magic configuration. I am trying to gain
insight into where each configuration item needs to go, how to set up a
node, and how to attach Solr to our existing Oracle DB. Maybe I am missing
something, but I have not been able to find a tutorial that walks you
through those steps.
Best,
Dean

Why exactly do you not want to use bundled examples. There is an
example that spins several servers next to each other on one machine.
Then you can examine everything in there.
I am missing something I guess.
