-----------------------------------
Summary: Shard leader election thread can persist across
connection loss
Key: SOLR-6763
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6763
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Alan Woodward
A ZK connection loss during a call to ElectionContext.waitForReplicasToComeUp()
will result in two leader election processes for the shard running within a
single node - the initial election that was waiting, and another spawned by the
ReconnectStrategy. After the function returns, the first election will create
an ephemeral leader node. The second election will then also attempt to create
this node, fail, and try to put itself into recovery. It will also set the
'isLeader' value in its CloudDescriptor to false.
The first election, meanwhile, is happily maintaining the ephemeral leader
node. But any updates that are sent to the shard will cause an exception due
to the mismatch between the cloudstate (where this node is the leader) and the
local CloudDescriptor leader state.
I think the fix is straightfoward - the call to zkClient.getChildren() in
waitForReplicasToComeUp should be called with 'retryOnReconnect=false', rather
than 'true' as it is currently, because once the connection has dropped we're
going to launch a new election process anyway.
