Anshum Gupta commented on SOLR-9092:
------------------------------------

Agreed that changing the default of onlyIfLive to true would break back-compat, 
but we still need to fix this. This could easily spiral into a bigger problem 
with large clusters. Also, we should fix whatever is returned to the user in 
terms of failure/success. If it's a failure, the user should have a way to at 
least retry and clean up whatever cruft was left behind.
If we choose to return a success, we should be responsible for returning more 
information about what was not cleaned up from the disk in a manner that makes 
it easier to parse and process for the users.

> We should verify the delete commands against live_nodes to make sure the API

> If we have a two node cluster, a collection with 1 shard 2 replica. Call the 
> delete replica command against for the replica whose node is currently down.

> For create collection/add-replica we check the "createNodeSet" and "node" 
> params respectively against live_nodes to make sure it has a chance of 
> succeeding.
> We should add a check against live_nodes for the delete commands as well.
> Another situation where I saw this can be a problem - A second solr cluster 
> cloned from the first but the script didn't correctly change the hostnames in 
> the state.json file. When a delete command was issued against the second 
> cluster Solr deleted the replica from the first cluster.
> In the above case the script was buggy obviously but if we verify against 
> live_nodes then Solr wouldn't have gone ahead and deleted replicas not 
> belonging to its cluster.
