Create Solr collection with shared Zookeeper Ensemble

I set up a SOLR cluster with two nodes and external Zookeper ensemble. This ZK ensemble has 3 nodes. I start my solr instances with parameter:

-z zookeeper1:2181,zookeeper2:2181,zookeeper3:2181/solr5

That means, I want the SOLR configuration to be under /solr5 instead of / as it is done by default.

The folder /solr5 is created in ZK with:

create /solr5 []

I also can upload the SOLR configuration into /solr5 without problem.

My question is when creating a collection, how do I get the generated files to be under /solr5?

The command I use to create the collection is:

bin/solr create -c collection1 -n configset -s 2 -rf 2

I looked at the documentation on this page but i don't see where to specify the zk path. The files and folder generated are:

  • security.json
  • clusterstate.json
  • aliases.json
  • live_nodes
  • overseer
  • overseer_elect
  • collections

How do I get these generated under /solr5 instead of /?

Solution

  • The solution is to specify the the zookeeper path in solr.xml:

     <solrcloud>
    <str name="zkHost">zookeeper1:2181,zookeeper2:2181,zookeeper3:2181/solr5</str>

 </solrcloud>
