Description

The responses below are from a successful create collection API (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Collections+API#CollectionsAPI-CreateormodifyanAliasforaCollection) call and an unsuccessful create collection API call. It seems the 'status' is always 0.

Success:
{u'responseHeader':

{u'status': 0, u'QTime': 4421}

, u'success': {u'': {u'core': u'test1_shard1_replica1', u'responseHeader': {u'status': 0, u'QTime': 3449}}}}

Failure:
{u'failure':

{u'': u"org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer$RemoteSolrException:Error CREATEing SolrCore 'test43_shard1_replica1': Unable to create core: test43_shard1_replica1 Caused by: Could not find configName for collection test43 found:[test1]"}

,
u'responseHeader':

{u'status': 0, u'QTime': 17149}

}

It seems like the status should be 400 or something similar for an unsuccessful attempt?
