Verifying creation of index

[ahsanbagwan]

This application is running as docker container. Also when I run this on local I don't see a /var/solr created.

1. How do I verify the index is created?
2. Am I right in setting the indexOnStartup to true?

So I have this code in the application.yml

search:                               
  jmx_enabled: true                   
  default:                            
    directory_provider: filesystem    
    indexBase: /var/solr              
  generate_statistics: true           
  lucene_version: LUCENE_CURRENT      

and the indexOnStartup is set to true like so

@Bean
  SearchDataStore searchStore(SpringHibernateDataStore springHibernateDataStore, EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) {
    return new SearchDataStore(springHibernateDataStore, entityManagerFactory,true);
  }

I'm not sure about the application.yaml settings.

We usually set the hibernate settings directly:

     "hibernate.search.default.directory_provider" : "filesystem",
     "hibernate.search.default.filesystem_access_type" : "mmap",
     "hibernate.search.default.indexBase" : "/var/lucene/indexes",

index on startup should be set to true if you are not running a separate solr or elasticsearch cluster. You should see lucene files get created in the indexBase directory.
