You cannot create a Solr core unless you first upload the schema and configuration files. If you are creating a CQL-based Solr core, the table must exist in Cassandra before creating the core".

If you start off a CQL based core, you just need to remove any mention of DSE custom stuff in solrconfig.xml (there are several custom classes being used instead of Solr ones, replace them with their vanilla Solr counterparts) and schema.xml (not sure if I had to change anything in there). Then use those modified files to create the new core. Give it a go
