'Create configured cores' task is too fragile about ansible-role-solr HOT 6 CLOSED

It also doesn't seem to work right if installing older versions of solr. I was trying to install version 5.1.0. The example files the previous step tries to copy do not appear to exist in that version so that step fails. If you try to skip that step then this step fails due to the solrconfig.xml file not existing.

Also I see that even if I have not specified any cores it will still create "collection1". I don't want that, there should be a way to have it setup a clean Solr without any cores.

@janhoy yeah, it is annoying. I manage hundreds of Solr installations for Hosted Apache Solr, and there's always a collection1 and whatever other cores I have for the particular client.

The reason I have historically avoided devoting much time to core management tasks is because supporting core management in Solr 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 is kind of insane.

And sadly, I help some people with Magento 1 sites, which only work with Solr 3, so I still support running it, even though that's really dumb. And I still have a lot of clients on Solr 4... I'm considering doing a branch of this role for legacy support, and trimming down supported versions to just the latest and n-1 release of Solr for the official tagged versions of this role.

Or maybe having a solr-legacy role which builds older versions. Because it's not fun trying to support vastly different architectures for all these Solr versions.

+1 to fork and focus on 7.x and newer with only the features needed. Including Cloud/ZK :)
