Creating Collections
The Solr server does not include any default collections. Create a
collection using the following
command:
solrctl collection --create <collection_name> -s <shard_count>weblogs in our example). The
-s <shard_count>
parameter specifies the number of SolrCloud shards you want to
partition the collection across. The number of shards cannot exceed the
total number of Solr servers in your SolrCloud cluster.To verify that the collection is active, go to
http://search01.example.com:8983/solr/<collection_name>/select?q=*%3A*&wt=json&indent=true
in a browser. For example, for the collection weblogs,
the URL is
http://search01.example.com:8983/solr/weblogs/select?q=*%3A*&wt=json&indent=true.
Replace search01.example.com with the hostname of one
of the Solr server hosts.
You can also view the SolrCloud topology using the URL
http://search01.example.com:8983/solr/#/~cloud.
