How do you programatically create new cores?

[Tharindu Mathew <mc...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie at this and I can't figure out how to do this after going
through http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin?

Any sample code would help a lot.

Thanks in advance.

A http-get call is simply made by entering the url into your browser, like
shown in the example in the wiki:

http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=coreX&instanceDir=
path_to_instance_directory&config=config_file_name.xml&schema=schem_file_nam
e.xml&dataDir=data

Hi Marc, 

Thanks for the reply. 

So as I understand I need to make a http get call with an action parameter
set to create to dynamically create a core? I do not see an API to do this
anywhere.

You have to create the core's folder with it's conf inside the Solr home.
Once done you can call the create action of the admin handler:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin#CREATE
If you need to dinamically create, start and stop lots of cores there's this
patch, but don't know about it's current state:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LotsOfCores
