Hey Guillaume, We had to alter the solrconfig.xml in our deployment because the default solrconfig.xml does not give good search throughput with a large amount of documents updating often. I've opened a ticket at basho to get the solrconfig.xml save into the buckets settings that way they would be the same across the cluster. I'm not sure when and if they'll have it in. I guess the more ppl that ask for this, the sooner we'll get it.
In the meantime, what we did is that during our riak node installation procedure, we create the index using curl then we override the solrconfig.xml and then restart riak which in turn restarts solr. From then, the solrconfig.xml should remain intact. There is one more thing though. Sometimes, for unknown reasons, riak decides to recreate the solrconfig.xml. So you might wanna have a script that runs on the node to validate the solrconfig.xml has not changed and to fix it automatically if it does. I know this is not ideal, solrconfig.xml really needs to be saved in bucket settings like the schema.xml. Lets just hope the Basho works on fixing this ASAP because for big deployments this is kind of crutial.
