Sunspot Solr configs should default to multi-core setup vs. multi-port

Nick,

Is this going to effect support for multi-core solr instances with Sunspot?

That depends on how you're using multi-core. This example is using multi-core for separating the development, test and production environments, so that we don't have to use separate Solr instances on multiple ports. But the assumption here is still one core per environment.

If you're sharding, or otherwise using multiple cores in the same environment, then you'll still need to do a bit of work in a session proxy to support that.

[gmoore]

Yeah I follow the mapping from cores to environments. My question was: if I'm doing the work on the session to support multiple cores in one solr instance, will this issue break up whatever work I've done there?

Probably won't be a problem, but you may want to direct me toward a gist or fire up a pull request for your WIP.

Haven't even started on it yet but will be in touch if/when I get to
it. Thanks much.

Marking for 2.0.0

You also have to change the dataDir in solrconfig.xml for each core, i.e. /solr/development/conf/solrconfig.xml, /solr/production/conf/solrconfig.xml and /solr/text/conf/solrconfig.xml

I was independently thinking that I need this if I'm going to hold the line on not installing Tomcat. Are the changes required any more complicated than what @nz has above? I'm guessing that's all there is to it, right?

@UnConundrum: won't the dataDir automatically be relative to the instanceDir? That's the impression I have. If not, probably not a big deal to set that in the solr.xml as well.

My next todo here is just taking a few minutes to figure out how to package up all the config files with respect to the gems, Jetty, etc, and make sure they end up in the right places for the command-line binary or rake tasks to Just Work™.
