Varun Thacker commented on SOLR-7820:
-------------------------------------
bq. was synchronizing commits across replicas, since recovery skips segments
already present in the current index.
SOLR-6606 is the Jira.
> IndexFetcher should delete the current index directory before downloading the
> new index when isFullCopyNeeded==true

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: replication (java)
> Reporter: Timothy Potter
>
> When a replica is trying to recover and it's IndexFetcher decides it needs to
> pull the full index from a peer (isFullCopyNeeded == true), then the existing
> index directory should be deleted before the full copy is started to free up
> disk to pull a fresh index, otherwise the server will potentially need 2x the
> disk space (old + incoming new). Currently, the IndexFetcher removes the
> index directory after the new is downloaded; however, once the fetcher
> decides a full copy is needed, what is the value of the existing index? It's
> clearly out-of-date and should not serve queries. Since we're deleting data
> preemptively, maybe this should be an advanced configuration property, only
> to be used by those that are disk-space constrained (which I'm seeing more
> and more with people deploying high-end SSDs - they typically don't have 2x
> the disk capacity required by an index).
