Setting up multiple collections on a single cluster
Having a single collection inside the cluster is nice, but there are multiple use cases when we want to have more than a single collection running on the same cluster. 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.
Getting ready
Before reading further, I advise you to read the Creating a new SolrCloud cluster recipe of this chapter. This recipe will show you how to create a new SolrCloud cluster.

How to do it...
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...
