Having a single collection inside the cluster is nice, but there are multiple use cases when we want to have more than a single collection running on the same cluster. For example, we might want users and books in different collections or logs from each day to be only stored inside a single collection. This recipe will show you how to create multiple collections on the same cluster.
Before reading further, I advise you to read the Creating a new SolrCloud cluster recipe of this chapter. This recipe will show you how to create a new SolrCloud cluster. We also assume that ZooKeeper is running on 192.168.1.10
and is listening on port 2181
and that we already have four SolrCloud nodes running as a cluster.
