Sending solr configs to zookeeper from hdfs using zkcli.sh bash through oozie shell action

If you look at the code of "ZkConfigManager::uploadToZK()", present here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-ranger/blob/master/ranger_solrj/src/main/java/org/apache/solr/common/cloud/ZkConfigManager.java, you can observe that, the exception is happening at:

if (!Files.exists(rootPath))    throw new IOException("Path " + rootPath + " does not exist");

It is expecting the Path to be a java.nio.file.Path and not org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path (hdfs path).

Since, you are passing an hdfs path, the exception is being thrown.

You should pass a path to the local file system (i.e. "/some_address/user/Peter/dir_with_date" should be a local file path).

Also, check this wiki, which gives an example of uploading the configuration using zkcli: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Using+ZooKeeper+to+Manage+Configuration+Files

Thank you @Manjunath, that helped. Here is exact solution:

To send solr configs to zookeeper through oozie shell action you have to copy solr config dir to worker executing this bash script by adding this into workflow

 <file>yourpathto/solr_config_dir#$yourpathto/solr_config_dir</file>

And than in bashscript you refer to this folder like this:

CONFIGDIR="`readlink -f solr_config_dir`"

Add CONFIGDIR as confdir parameter to zkcli.sh and done!

Now you have working oozie shell action that will send your solr configs to zookeeper!
