Need help to create solr collections

[#1]

I was using following steps to create solr collection:

1. solrctl  instancedir --generate $HOME/solr_configs
2. solrctl  instancedir --create collection_1 $HOME/solr_configs
3. solrctl  collection --create collection_1 -s 1

But nowadays I am getting error:
"Warning: Non-SolrCloud mode has been completely deprecated
Please configure SolrCloud via SOLR_ZK_ENSEMBLE setting in
/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.3.0-1.cdh5.3.0.p0.30/bin/../etc/default/solr
If you running remotely, please use --zk zk_ensemble"

What changes do I need to make to achieve the earlier results?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

ZooKeeper is now required for some of the features that allow Solr to scale reliably ("SolrCloud"). You need to provide the address of your ZooKeeper ensemble as --zk (host1),(host2):(port) (port is usually 2181)

Thanks  Sean, wil try it.

Hi,

@manniit: did the proposed solution worked for you?

In my case it is like that, I need to specify the location <hostname>:<port> where my ZK leader is listening.

You get that warning message becasue by default solrctl will try to look for configurations in a manner which is deprecated because it is moved to SolrCloud which requires ZooKeeper to work, and so its location.

REgards,
