It's telling you that it cannot find the file in your confdir (the directory after -d in your command). Do an ls on the directory and either the directory is missing or the solrconfig.xml is missing from /opt/lucidworks-hdpsearch/solr/server/solr/configsets/data_driven_schema_configs_hdfs/conf. You may have overlooked a step in the setup (Step 2). It includes creating the conf directory and modifying the solrconfig.xml file...

cp -R /opt/lucidworks-hdpsearch/solr/server/solr/configsets/data_driven_schema_configs /opt/lucidworks-hdpsearch/solr/server/solr/configsets/data_driven_schema_configs_hdfs

@james.jones

I followed all steps and changed solrconfig.xml file as well. But still getting below error.

[solr@sandbox ~]$ /opt/lucidworks-hdpsearch/solr/bin/solr create -c labs -d /opt/lucidworks-hdpsearch/solr/server/solr/configsets/data_driven_schema_configs_hdfs/conf -n labs -s 2 -rf 2

@Saurabh Kumar - Since this example is using the Sandbox zookeeper rather than embedded zk, try adding /solr to the end of your zookeeper entry in the create command like this sandbox.hortonworks.com:2181/solr. I'm not sure if that will solve the issue but when Solr runs in cloud mode with an external zookeeper it makes /solr the zookeeper root to keep it's data separate from other services.

Thanks @james.jones, I would do that, but if I don't mentioned it then where exactly zookeeper will save solr configuration(solrconfig.xml).

This will upload your config directory to a configset named "testcoll". The default configset name is the same as your collection

./zkcli.sh -zkhost localhost:2181 -cmd upconfig -confdir ../../solr/configsets/data_driven_schema_configs/conf -confname testcoll.

If your configset is called testcoll, then do this to show the contents of the solrconfig.xml in zookeeper:

./zkcli.sh -zkhost localhost:2181 -cmd get /configs/testcoll/solrconfig.xml

I recommend running the list command which will dump everything in zookeeper, not just listing files but will print the contents of the files. That's a bit too much, so just pipe it to "less" and then search for your collection name as you would with vi (with / and ? to search). Then you'll see the path to your configs.
