Mark Miller commented on SOLR-5476:
-----------------------------------
I think the tests are too light as well. You want strong testing around this
special overseer takeover - there are so many things that could go wrong - you
need to make sure things continue merrily after several disaster scenario. And
it needs to ensure that there are never more than one Overseer running at a
time.
I think this was committed before it was ready.

> In a very large cluster the Overseer is likely to be overloaded.If the same
> node is a serving a few other shards it can lead to OverSeer getting slowed
> down due to GC pauses , or simply too much of work . If the cluster is
> really large , it is possible to dedicate high end h/w for OverSeers
> It works as a new collection admin command
> command=addrole&role=overseer&node=192.168.1.5:8983_solr
> This results in the creation of a entry in the /roles.json in ZK which would
> look like the following
> {code:javascript}
> {
> "overseer" : ["192.168.1.5:8983_solr"]
> }
> {code}
> If a node is designated for overseer it gets preference over others when
> overseer election takes place. If no designated servers are available another
> random node would become the Overseer.
> Later on, if one of the designated nodes are brought up ,it would take over
> the Overseer role from the current Overseer to become the Overseer of the
> system
