Convert instance directories to configs

Cloudera Search supports converting existing deployments that use instance directories to use configs.

  1. Create a temporary config based on the existing instance directory. 
    solrctl config --create <new_config_temp> <existing_instancedir> \
-p immutable=false
    For example, if the instance directory name is weblogs_config: 
    solrctl config --create weblogs_config_temp weblogs_config \
-p immutable=false
  2. Delete the existing instance directory. 
    solrctl instancedir --delete <existing_instancedir>
    For example: 
    solrctl instancedir --delete weblogs_config
  3. Create a config using the same name as the instance directory you just deleted, based on the temporary config you created earlier. 
    solrctl config --create <new_config> <new_config_temp> \
-p immutable=false
    For example:
    solrctl config --create weblogs_config weblogs_config_temp \
-p immutable=false
  4. Delete the temporary config: 
    solrctl config --delete <new_config_temp>
    For example:
    solrctl config --delete weblogs_config_temp
  5. Reload the affected collection: 
    solrctl collection --reload <collection>
    For example:
    solrctl collection --reload weblogs
