Example SolrCore Instance Directory
=============================

This directory is provided as an example of what an "Instance Directory"
should look like for a SolrCore

It's not strictly necessary that you copy all of the files in this
directory when setting up a new SolrCores, but it is recommended.


Basic Directory Structure
-------------------------

The Solr Home directory typically contains the following sub-directories...

   conf/
        This directory is mandatory and must contain your solrconfig.xml
        and schema.xml.  Any other optional configuration files would also 
        be kept here.

   data/
        This directory is the default location where Solr will keep your
        index, and is used by the replication scripts for dealing with
        snapshots.  You can override this location in the 
        conf/solrconfig.xml.  Solr will create this directory if it does not 
        already exist.

   lib/
        This directory is optional.  If it exists, Solr will load any Jars
        found in this directory and use them to resolve any "plugins"
        specified in your solrconfig.xml or schema.xml (ie: Analyzers,
        Request Handlers, etc...).  Alternatively you can use the <lib>
        syntax in conf/solrconfig.xml to direct Solr to your plugins.  See 
        the example conf/solrconfig.xml file for details.
