Gus Heck commented on SOLR-12413:
---------------------------------
Haven't entirely thought it through, but maybe what we want is to change
setIfNewer(alias) to setIfNewerOrZeroVersion(alias), thus our inital zero
version that was never loaded from ZK anyway disappears in the face of any
actual data from zk?
> Solr ignores aliases.json from ZooKeeper at startup

> Key: SOLR-12413
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12413
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: SolrCloud
> Affects Versions: 7.2.1
> Environment: A SolrCloud cluster with ZooKeeper (one node is enough
> to reproduce).
> Solr 7.2.1.
> ZooKeeper 3.4.6.
> Reporter: Gaël Jourdan
> Assignee: David Smiley
> Priority: Major
>
> Since upgrading to 7.2.1, we ran into an issue where Solr ignores
> _aliases.json_ file stored in ZooKeeper.
>
> +Steps to reproduce the problem:+
> # SolrCloud cluster is down
> # Direct update of _aliases.json_ file in ZooKeeper with Solr ZkCLI *without
> using Collections API* :
> ** {{java ... org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkCLI -zkhost ... -cmd clear
> /aliases.json}}
> ** {{java ... org.apache.solr.cloud.ZkCLI -zkhost ... -cmd put /aliases.json
> "new content"}}
> # SolrCloud cluster is started => _aliases.json_ not taken into account
>
> +Analysis:+
> Digging a bit in the code, what is actually causing the issue is that, when
> starting, Solr now checks for the metadata of the _aliases.json_ file and if
> the version metadata from ZooKeeper is lower or equal to local version, it
> keeps the local version.
> When it starts, Solr has a local version of 0 for the aliases but ZooKeeper
> also has a version of 0 of the file because we just recreated it. So Solr
> ignores ZooKeeper configuration and never has a chance to load aliases.
>

> : line 45 : the "empty" Aliases object with default version 0
> {code:java}
> /**
> * An empty, minimal Aliases primarily used to support the non-cloud solr use
> cases. Not normally useful
> * in cloud situations where the version of the node needs to be tracked even
> if all aliases are removed.
> * A version of 0 is provided rather than -1 to minimize the possibility that
> if this is used in a cloud
> * instance data is written without version checking.
> */
> public static final Aliases EMPTY = new Aliases(Collections.emptyMap(),
> Collections.emptyMap(), 0);{code}
>
> Note that a workaround is to force ZooKeeper to always have a version greater
> than 0 for _aliases.json_ file (for instance by not clearing the file and
> just overwriting it again and again).
