uid & gid are available for override, but we don't define them by default

# solr_user_uid:
# solr_group_gid:

To override all the environment vars, provide a template similar to the provided example and set the following with its filename:

solr_env_template:          ""

To set individual environment vars, provide them like so:

solr_env_vars:             
- var:    "SOLR_HEAP"
  value:  "2g"

Dependencies

Any role (or other method) that will provide Java 8 (JRE 1.8).
