Using JanusGraph with Solr - solr

Question

Setting up JanusGraph i noticed the following in the console:
09:04:12,175 INFO ReflectiveConfigOptionLoader:173 - Loaded and initialized config classes: 10 OK out of 12 attempts in PT0.023S
09:04:12,230 INFO Reflections:224 - Reflections took 28 ms to scan 1 urls, producing 2 keys and 2 values
09:04:12,291 WARN GraphDatabaseConfiguration:1445 - Local setting index.search.index-name=entity (Type: GLOBAL_OFFLINE) is overridden by globally managed value (janusgraph). Use the ManagementSystem interface instead of the local configuration to control this setting.
09:04:12,294 WARN GraphDatabaseConfiguration:1445 - Local setting index.search.backend=solr (Type: GLOBAL_OFFLINE) is overridden by globally managed value (elasticsearch). Use the ManagementSystem interface instead of the local configuration to control this setting.
09:04:12,300 INFO CassandraThriftStoreManager:628 - Closed Thrift connection pooler.
and then i see the following:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not instantiate implementation: org.janusgraph.diskstorage.es.ElasticSearchIndex
How do i stop using elasticsearch and switch to Solr?
My properties file is as follows:
index.search.backend=solr
index.search.directory=/path/to/directory/for/solr/index/something
index.search.index-name=something
index.search.solr.mode=http
index.search.solr.http-urls=http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr
storage.backend=cassandrathrift
storage.hostname=127.0.0.1
cache.db-cache = true
cache.db-cache-clean-wait = 20
cache.db-cache-time = 180000
cache.db-cache-size = 0.25

The answer to this basically the same as this one for Titan. JanusGraph was forked from Titan.
You are probably trying to connect to an existing graph that was previously configured to use Elasticsearch. By default, the keyspace is named janusgraph.
1) You could connect to a different keyspace by updating conf/janusgraph-cassandra.properties
gremlin.graph=org.janusgraph.core.JanusGraphFactory
storage.backend=cassandrathrift
storage.hostname=127.0.0.1
storage.cassandra.keyspace=mygraph
2) You could drop the existing keyspace. If you used bin/janusgraph.sh start from the quick start directions (which starts a single node Cassandra and a single node Elasticsearch),
bin/janusgraph.sh clean
Or if you have a standalone Cassandra installation:
$CASSANDRA_HOME/bin/cqlsh -e 'drop keyspace if exists janusgraph'
Then you would be able to connect with the default conf/janusgraph-cassandra.properties.
