Apache Solr Reference Guide Covering Apache Solr 6.0

An example of this command with these parameters is:
bin/solr zk -upconfig -z 111.222.333.444:2181 -n mynewconfig -d /path/to/configset
This command does not automatically make changes effective! It simply uploads the configuration sets to
ZooKeeper. You can use the Collections API to issue a RELOAD command for any collections that uses this
configuration set.
Downloading a Configuration Set
Use this ZooKeeper sub-command to download a configuration set from ZooKeeper to the local filesystem.
Available Parameters (all parameters are required)
Parameter Description Example
-downconfig
Download a configuration set from
ZooKeeper to the local filesystem.
-downconfig
-n Name of config set in ZooKeeper to
download. The Admin
UI>>Cloud>>tree>>configs node lists all
available configuration sets.
-n myconfig
-d
The path to write the downloaded
configuration set into.
If just a name is supplied,
SOLR_HOME/server/solr/configsets will
be the parent.
An absolute path may be supplied as
well.
In either case, pre-existing
configurations at the destination will be
overwritten!
-d directory_under_configsets -d
/absolute/path/to/configset/destination
-z The ZooKeeper connection string. -z 123.321.23.43:2181
An example of this command with the parameters is:
bin/solr zk -downconfig -z 111.222.333.444:2181 -n mynewconfig -d
/path/to/configset
A "best practice" is to keep your configuration sets in some form of version control as the system-of-record. In
that scenario, downconfig should rarely be used.
