Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-8619:
--------------------------------------
I'd also not want to even _try_ to ADDREPLICA if there were no active leaders.
Although I understand that you could start the ADDREPLICA command and _then_
all the other replicas could go down before it synched, so it looks like a
belt-and-suspenders kind of thing.
Hmmm, does that play nice with
1> creating a collection? there are no replicas by definition
2> adding shards (implicit router)
Just random thoughts....
> A new replica should not become leader when all current replicas are down as
> it leads to data loss

> Key: SOLR-8619
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8619
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Anshum Gupta
>
> Here's what I'm talking about:
> * Start a 2 node solrcloud cluster
> * Create a 1 shard/1 replica collection
> * Add documents
> * Shut down the node that has the only active shard
> * ADDREPLICA for the shard/collection, so Solr would attempt to add a new
> replica on the other node
> * Solr waits for a while before this replica becomes an active leader.
> * Index a few new docs
> * Bring up the old node
> * The replica comes up, with it's old index and then syncs to only contain
> the docs from the new leader.
> All old documents are lost in this case
> Here are a few things that might work here:
> 1. Reject an ADDREPLICA call if all current replicas for the shard are down.
> Considering the new replica can not sync from anyone, it doesn't make sense
> for this replica to even come up
> 2. The replica shouldn't become active/leader unless either it was the last
> known leader or active before it went into recovering state
> unless there are no other replicas in the clusterstate.
> This might very well be related to SOLR-8173 but we should add a check to
> ADDREPLICA as well.
