Hello. I have a schema.xml file locally. I want to create a new collection programmatically, and set the schema for that collection to be exactly the contents of schema.xml. No more, no less.
There's a collection API that allows me to create the collection. That works without issue. The only API I can find with schemas requires me to provide a long series of "add-field", "add-field-type", etc, commands to manipulate an existing schema. That's not good; I have the exact schema.xml file already - how do I tell the server that I want exactly that file? There's a ConfigSets API that purports to allow for specifying a schema that will be used for collections, but it also seems to require me to specify all kinds of information that I don't know. My use case is that I'm an application that wants to create a collection with a specific schema, but otherwise all administrative information (like the number of shards, replicas, other installation-specific information that I can't know as an application) should be left to the Solr administrator. There also doesn't appear to be a way to "just" set the schema for a ConfigSet. What am I missing? -- Mark Raynsford | https://www.io7m.com
