Managing collection configuration using configs or instance directories
Both configs and instance directories are configuration sets for Solr collections that can be referenced by their respective names. Although configs and instance directories are functionally identical from the perspective of the Solr server, there are a number of important administrative differences between these two implementations.
The
solrctl
utility includes the config
and
instancedir
commands for managing configuration. Configs and instance
directories refer to the same thing: named configuration sets used by collections, as
specified by the solrctl collection --create -c [***CONFIG
NAME***]
command.
