create collection from existing managed-schema

[Chuming Chen <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

From Solr Admin interface, I have created a collection and added field definitions. I can get its managed-schema from the Admin interface. 

Can I use this managed-schema to create a new collection? If yes, how?

Thanks,

Chuming

Yes. command line with -d works.

Thanks,

For non cloud, the schema is on the filesystem.

At least from command line, you can specify path to it with -d flag when
creating a new core. It will then be treated as template to copy.

That is more of a trick than production approach though.

What Solr version?

The fact that you talk about "collection" suggests that you are running
in SolrCloud mode.  If you're not running in cloud mode, then
"collection" is not the correct terminology for an index.

If you're running in cloud mode, then your configuration for the
existing collection (which includes the schema) will be stored in
zookeeper, and you will be able to create a new collection that also
uses that same configuration.  You'll just have to figure out what the
name of the configuration is.  Keep in mind that any changes you make to
the configuration after that will affect *both* collections.

If you're not running in cloud mode, then creating a new core usually
involves placing a conf directory before trying to create the core - it
can't be done entirely via HTTP.

Thanks,
Shawn

Hi,

If you want to share schema and/or other configurations between collections, you need to create a configset. Then, specify this configset while creating any collections.

Any changes made to that configset or schema will reflect in all collections that are using it.

By default, Solr has the _default configset for any collections created without explicit configset.

Hi All,

From Solr Admin interface, I have created a collection and added field definitions. I can get its managed-schema from the Admin interface. 

Can I use this managed-schema to create a new collection? How?

Thanks,

Chuming
