Hi Chris, it is the same I struggled with when I started with Solr.
The ConfigSet is a set of configuration you refer to with one or more cores. Changing settings for the core changes the ConfigSet, therefore the setting for all cores refering that ConfigSet. Solution: Make a full copy of a ConfigSet, when you want to change settings for a core individually. We decided to keep one ConfigSet as a kind of default, not refered by any core. It is THE template keeping all ConfigSet changes valid for all cores we have. We copy that template and apply as much config changes programatically as possible to that base ConfigSet. If we have to "rollback", we delete the core, we delete the ConfigSet (directory), copy the default ConfigSet, add the core, apply all config changes programatically. I hope this helps what "cloning" means. Regards Andreas -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 31.

I've been playing-around with trying to programmatically alter the schema for a Solr core as well, and this explains a LOT of weirdness I was experiencing. Jan, thanks for explaining the root problem, but your solution of just "cloning your Configset" doesn't offer much detail. How does one clone a config set? How does one USE a Configset? What if you need to delete a configSet to start-over?
