Description

I have a common instance directory to share schema.xml and solrconfig.xml between multiple cores. According to Core Discovery (4.4 and beyond) a property instanceDir is available to set the instance directory for the configured core.
On start up of SOLR instanceDir is always set to the parent directory of core.properties.
Setting a complete path to schema.xml and solrconfig.xml via schema and config properties won't help as every relative path is resolved against the wrong (unconfigurable) instanceDir and not against schema.xml.
