Dynamically create new core

[samarth s]

Hi,


I have a requirement of dynamically creating new cores(master). Each
core should have a replicated slave core.
I am working with Java and using SolrJ as my solr client. I came
across CoreAdminRequest class and looks like the way to go.

CoreAdminRequest.createCore("NewCore1", "NewCore1", solrServer);
creates a new core programmatically.

Also, for the newly created core, I want to use an existing
solrconfig.xml & modify certain parameters. Can I achieve this using
SolrJ?

Are there any better approaches for the requirement?

Thanks for any pointers,
