Mark Miller commented on SOLR-7569: ----------------------------------- bq. // Marking all live nodes as active. We do we do this manually like this? Shouldn't we allow this to happen naturally? > Create an API to force a leader election between nodes > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SOLR-7569 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7569 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: SolrCloud > Reporter: Shalin Shekhar Mangar > Assignee: Shalin Shekhar Mangar > Labels: difficulty-medium, impact-high > Attachments: SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569.patch, > SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569.patch, > SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569.patch, > SOLR-7569.patch, SOLR-7569_lir_down_state_test.patch > > > There are many reasons why Solr will not elect a leader for a shard e.g. all > replicas' last published state was recovery or due to bugs which cause a > leader to be marked as 'down'. While the best solution is that they never get > into this state, we need a manual way to fix this when it does get into this > state. Right now we can do a series of dance involving bouncing the node > (since recovery paths between bouncing and REQUESTRECOVERY are different), > but that is difficult when running a large cluster. Although it is possible > that such a manual API may lead to some data loss but in some cases, it is > the only possible option to restore availability. > This issue proposes to build a new collection API which can be used to force > replicas into recovering a leader while avoiding data loss on a best effort > basis. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
