Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-9835:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Instead of periodic polling, can leader upon receiving and processing a
commit command, send a notification to replicas asking them to sync up?
We thought about that but we ended up favoring the polling model because the
poll request is cheap and we can use existing replication handler code. We will
keep the poll interval at half the auto commit time for a start. For this
issue, we want to keep the changes limited as much as possible but we can
consider a notification feature in later enhancements.
> Create another replication mode for SolrCloud

> Key: SOLR-9835
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9835
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Reporter: Cao Manh Dat
>
> The current replication mechanism of SolrCloud is called state machine, which
> replicas start in same initial state and for each input, the input is
> distributed across replicas so all replicas will end up with same next state.
> But this type of replication have some drawbacks
> - The commit (which costly) have to run on all replicas
> - Slow recovery, because if replica miss more than N updates on its down
> time, the replica have to download entire index from its leader.
> So we create create another replication mode for SolrCloud called state
> transfer, which acts like master/slave replication. In basically
> - Leader distribute the update to other replicas, but the leader only apply
> the update to IW, other replicas just store the update to UpdateLog (act like
> replication).
> - Replicas frequently polling the latest segments from leader.
> Pros:
> - Lightweight for indexing, because only leader are running the commit,
> updates.
> - Very fast recovery, replicas just have to download the missing segments.
