Ramkumar Aiyengar commented on SOLR-5476: ----------------------------------------- Will this feature lend itself to dynamically updating the role of a node -- so depending on the state of the environment, I can grant or revoke the Overseer role? I guess the collection admin will technically allow for it, but just wanted to check if that's something that can be routinely done when the cluster is live without any performance or stability impact. > Overseer Role for nodes > ----------------------- > > Key: SOLR-5476 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5476 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: SolrCloud > Reporter: Noble Paul > Assignee: Noble Paul > Fix For: 5.0, 4.7 > > Attachments: SOLR-5476.patch, SOLR-5476.patch, SOLR-5476.patch, > SOLR-5476.patch, SOLR-5476.patch, SOLR-5476.patch, SOLR-5476.patch > > > 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 .
