Description

While trying to update this ref guide page...
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Uploading+Structured+Data+Store+Data+with+the+Data+Import+Handler

I encountered a bunch of problems when running bin/solr -e dih:

1. every collection in example/example-DIH/solr started getting _rest_managed* and _schema_analysis* files created in it
   • either we should commit these empty files into the example, or pair down the schema's in these collections not to use these fieldTypes
2. a server/example-DIH directory got created containing some hsqldb logs & properties
3. at least 2 of the full import commands don't seem to work
   • the DB probably isn't working because the path to the hsqldb may not be correct anymore - hence the problem above as well (JDBC probably relative to CWD at the moment? need sys prop to be relative to solr home?)
   • the tika import doesn't seem to work either - probably another relative path problem
4. the example/example-DIH/README.txt file still needs updated to refer to bin/solr -e dih
