Anshum Gupta commented on SOLR-12767:
-------------------------------------
I haven't looked at the patch but I like the idea. min_rf doesn't really do
anything as far as Solr is concerned other than tracking and returning the
value, plus avoiding nodes from getting into LIR - completely relying on users
doing the right thing i.e. retrying. +1 to the idea, and I'll take a look at
the patch but tomorrow.
> Deprecate min_rf parameter and always include the achieved rf in the response

> Currently the {{min_rf}} parameter does two things.
> 1. It tells Solr that the user wants to keep track of the achieved
> replication factor
> 2. (undocumented AFAICT) It prevents Solr from putting replicas in recovery
> if the achieved replication factor is lower than the {{min_rf}} specified
> #2 is intentional and I believe the reason behind it is to prevent replicas
> to go into recovery in cases of short hiccups (since the assumption is that
> the user is going to retry the request anyway). This is dangerous because if
> the user doesn’t retry (or retries a number of times but keeps failing) the
> replicas will be permanently inconsistent. Also, since we now retry updates
> from leaders to replicas, this behavior has less value, since short temporary
> blips should be recovered by those retries anyway.
> I think we should remove the behavior described in #2, #1 is still valuable,
> but there isn’t much point of making the parameter an integer, the user is
> just telling Solr that they want the achieved replication factor, so it could
> be a boolean, but I’m thinking we probably don’t even want to expose the
> parameter, and just always keep track of it, and include it in the response.
> It’s not costly to calculate, so why keep two separate code paths?
