Can SOLR configuration files be located in parent folders?

I have configured the QueryElevation searchComponent of SOLR as documented here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaXml#The_Unique_Key_Field

However, I would like to load the elevate.xml file from several folders above the default one.

I cannot get this to work... all of the following generate an error:

<str name="config-file">../../elevate.xml</str>
<str name="config-file">..\..\elevate.xml</str>
<str name="config-file">c:/elevate.xml</str>
<str name="config-file">c:\elevate.xml</str>
Solution

  • Per the Solr wiki:

    Path to the file that defines query elevation. This file must exist in:

    1. ${instanceDir}/conf/${config-file} , or
    2. ${dataDir}/${config-file}
