Noble Paul commented on SOLR-7130:
----------------------------------

bq.Maybe we should use the responseHeader to send this routing information? 
That way we can avoid having to parse the entire response from remote servers 
too?

I don't think it is a good idea. We don't use it anywhere as of now and if we 
use another transport mechanism it will be a problem

bq.This patch still throws an exception if the request is proxied to a remote 
node. IMO, that isn't acceptable.

That is a rare case . It happened when a core went down completely (and the 
node is still up).. We can afford to resend the request. Comparing the cost of 
proxying a request to resending a request , we are not saving much

This is a first patch , Not fully cleaned up or anything.

> I wasn't sure whether to label this a bug or an improvement.
> For collections with stateFormat=2, we now fail requests (because of stale 
> state) which we didn't previously. The client having stale cached cluster 
> state is not a sufficient reason to fail and retry the entire request because 
> in most of such cases, the node receiving the request is still perfectly 
> capable of returning a valid response (either from local replicas or remote 
> ones).
> We should find a better way to notify clients that they have stale state. 
> Perhaps we can modify the response and add a "routing" section instead of 
> outright exception.
