Solr.xml is broken?

Notice: This test was done with a fresh install of Solr either 4.4 or 4.5.

Solr 4.4

Create a collection

</response>

Create a replica of shard1:

curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=statistics-13_shard1_replica2&collection=statistics-13&shard=shard1'

Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader"><int name="status">0</int><int name="QTime">1234</int></lst><str name="core">statistics-13_shard1_replica2</str><str name="saved">/usr/local/Cellar/solr/4.4.0/libexec/example/solr/solr.xml</str>
</response>

All is saved on solr.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr persistent="true">
  <cores defaultCoreName="collection1" host="${host:}" adminPath="/admin/cores" zkClientTimeout="${zkClientTimeout:15000}" hostPort="${jetty.port:8983}" hostContext="${hostContext:solr}">

    <core shard="shard2" instanceDir="statistics-13_shard2_replica1/" name="statistics-13_shard2_replica1" collection="statistics-13"/>
    <core shard="shard1" instanceDir="statistics-13_shard1_replica2/" name="statistics-13_shard1_replica2" collection="statistics-13"/>
  </cores>
</solr>

Solr 4.5

Solr.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr persistent="true">
  <cores defaultCoreName="collection1" host="${host:}" adminPath="/admin/cores" zkClientTimeout="${zkClientTimeout:15000}" hostPort="${jetty.port:8983}" hostContext="${hostContext:solr}">
    <core name="collection1" loadOnStartup="true" instanceDir="collection1" shard="shard0" transient="false" collection="collection1"/>
</cores>
</solr>

Notice: The collection created is not save into solr.xml.

Create a replica:

curl 'http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=statistics-13_shard1_replica2&collection=statistics-13&shard=shard1'

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<lst name="responseHeader"><int name="status">0</int><int name="QTime">2454</int></lst><str name="core">statistics-13_shard1_replica2</str>
</response>

Solr.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr persistent="true">
  <cores defaultCoreName="collection1" host="${host:}" adminPath="/admin/cores" zkClientTimeout="${zkClientTimeout:15000}" hostPort="${jetty.port:8983}" hostContext="${hostContext:solr}">
    <core name="collection1" loadOnStartup="true" instanceDir="collection1" shard="shard0" transient="false" collection="collection1"/>

    <core numShards="2" name="statistics-13_shard1_replica1" instanceDir="statistics-13_shard1_replica1" shard="shard1" collection="statistics-13"/>

    <core numShards="2" name="statistics-13_shard2_replica1" instanceDir="statistics-13_shard2_replica1" shard="shard2" collection="statistics-13"/>
</cores>
</solr>

Notice: Now the last command it's save on solr.xml, but the replica created with command is not.

Replay the replica command and we have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr persistent="true">
  <cores defaultCoreName="collection1" host="${host:}" adminPath="/admin/cores" zkClientTimeout="${zkClientTimeout:15000}" hostPort="${jetty.port:8983}" hostContext="${hostContext:solr}">
    <core name="collection1" loadOnStartup="true" instanceDir="collection1" shard="shard0" transient="false" collection="collection1"/>

    <core numShards="2" name="statistics-13_shard1_replica1" instanceDir="statistics-13_shard1_replica1" shard="shard1" collection="statistics-13"/>

    <core name="statistics-13_shard1_replica2" instanceDir="statistics-13_shard1_replica2" shard="shard1" collection="statistics-13"/>

    <core numShards="2" name="statistics-13_shard2_replica1" instanceDir="statistics-13_shard2_replica1" shard="shard2" collection="statistics-13"/>
</cores>
</solr>

Differences:

On Solr 4.5 the response doesn't have the save tag.

On Solr 4.5 the command is not saved when executed, only if after is executed other command.
