Erick Erickson created SOLR-10719:
-------------------------------------
Summary: ADDREPLICA fails if the instanceDir is a symlink
Key: SOLR-10719
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10719
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Reporter: Erick Erickson
Well, it doesn't actually fail until you try to restart the Solr instance. The
root is that creating core.properties fails.
This is due to SOLR-8260. CorePropertiesLocator.writePropertiesFile changed
from:
propfile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
to
Files.createDirectories(propfile.getParent());
The former (apparently) thinks it's OK if a symlink points to a directory, but
the latter throws an exception.
So the behavior here is that the call appears to succeed, the replica is
created and is functional. Until you restart the instance when it's not
discovered.
I hacked in a simple test to see if the parent existed already and skip the
call to createDirectories if so and ADDREPLICA works just fine. Restarting Solr
finds the replica.
The test "for real" would probably have to be better than this as we probably
really want to keep from overwriting an existing replica and the like, didn't
check whether that's already accounted for though.
There's another issue here that failing to write the properties file should
fail the ADDREPLICA IMO.
[~romseygeek] I'm guessing that this is an unintended side-effect of SOLR-8260
but wanted to check before diving in deeper.
