For example, we might want users and books in different collections or logs from each day to be only stored inside a single collection. This recipe will show you how to create multiple collections on the same cluster.

As we already have all the prerequisites, such as ZooKeeper and Solr up and running, we need to upload our configuration files to ZooKeeper to be able to create collections:
Assuming that we have our configurations...
