Andrzej Bialecki commented on SOLR-13271:
------------------------------------------
This patch implements the read-only functionality as a collection property,
which can be set / unset using MODIFYCOLLECTION command.
Setting the property to true not only blocks the processing of new updates but
also reloads the collection, which guarantees that all in-flight updates (and
background merges) are properly committed and finished.
Updates sent to a read-only collection are rejected in
{{DistributedUpdateProcessor}}. Updates still can be forced by specifying a
{{readOnlyIgnore=true}} request param. Updates are accepted again when the
property is missing or set to false.
One thing I wasn't sure about was whether to use an attribute that is a
first-class citizen in DocCollection, or use an auxiliary property. Current
patch uses {{property.readOnly}}, which guarantees good back-compat but is
somewhat awkward to manipulate:
* set the property:
{code}
/admin/collections?action=MODIFYCOLLECTION&name=collection1&property.readOnly=true
{code}
* unset the property:
{code}
/admin/collections?action=MODIFYCOLLECTION&name=collection1&property.readOnly=
{code}
A more natural API would be to use a primary collection attribute:
{code}
/admin/collections?action=MODIFYCOLLECTION&name=collection1&readOnly=true
{code}
