The user and group that own the node['solr']['data_dir'] can be set through the arguments passed into the cookbook. However these variables aren't checked/created when running the tasks, meaning that if changed to for example solr:solr the provisioning will exit because the user doesn't exists.
It would be nice to extend the recipe, to create the user/group if they don't exist so you can override the arguments and it simply works.
