POST new schema to SOLR

Question

Is there any way of POSTing a new schema to Solr (eg. is there a handler for managing schema updates) instead of manually placing the new schema.xml in Solr home directory?

Answer 1

Unfortunately that's an open issue as of this writing, and there doesn't seem to be much interest to implement it.

As suggested in the comments you can work around this by setting up some external connection like WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, SCP.
