Create solr core using terminal (need root access)

Linux : su - solr -c "/opt/solr/bin/solr create -c testcore -n data_driven_schema_configs"

Windows : solr create -c anycorename -n data_driven_schema_configs

NOTE : We need to start solr before creating core

Access Solr

http://localhost:8983/solr/

Once Core is created we need to do following changes :

1. Goto solr-6.0.0/server/solr//lib
2. Download following jars and place it here - a. mssql-jdbc-6.1.0.jre8 b. solr-dataimporthandler-6.6.0 c. solr-dataimporthandler-extras-6.6.0
3. Now Goto solr-6.0.0/server/solr//conf
4. Make changes to following file, you can place these files from this repo/conf folder a. data-import.xml b. managed-schema c. solrconfig.xml
5. Restart Solr --> solr restart -p 8983
6. Go to http://localhost:8983/solr/
7. you can see core core dropdown.
8. Once core is created a directory is automatically generated at (solr-6.6.0\server\solr) with following important files in conf (1. solrconfig.xml, 2. managed-schema.xml).

Data Import setting :

1. create a data-import.xml file in conf folder of your core. Refer in this repo for example. (You can give any name of this file)
2. Edit solrconfig.xml to configure data-import file (the name you provided in step 1). Add following line :

  <lib dir="../lib/" regex="solr-dataimporthandler-\d.*\.jar" />
	<requestHandler name="/dataimport" class="org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataImportHandler">
    <lst name="defaults">
    <str name="config">data-import.xml</str>
    </lst>
	</requestHandler>

3. Restart Solr.
