Configuring the Solr library path

Relative paths are not supported. The workaround is to place custom code or Solr contrib modules in the directories described in this topic.

Contrary to the examples shown in the solrconfig.xml indicating that relative paths are supported, DataStax Enterprise does not support the relative path values set for the <lib> property. DSE Search/Solr fails to find files placed in directories defined by the <lib> property. The workaround is to place custom code or Solr contrib modules in these directories:
  • Packaged installs: /usr/share/dse
  • Binary installs: install_location/resources/dse/lib
