Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3174:
-----------------------------------

The reason it's kind of complicated is because when a node is shutdown or dies, 
it's published state does not get updated...so a down node could be listed as 
active. Because of this, the true state is a mix of /live_nodes and the state. 
If the node_name is listed under /live_nodes, then the state is the truth - if 
the node is not listed under /live_nodes, the state for the node could be 
anything and indicates nothing - the node is down and not part of the cluster.

For example:
{noformat}
[{
    "num_shards":"2",
    "shard":"shard1",
    "state":"active",
    "core":"",
    "collection":"collection1",
    "node_name":"halfmetal:7574_solr",
    "base_url":"http://halfmetal:7574/solr"}]
{noformat}

This node is listed as active, but looking at /live_nodes:

{noformat}
/live_nodes/halfmetal:8983_solr
/live_nodes/halfmetal:9983_solr
/live_nodes/halfmetal:3983_solr
{noformat}

It's 'node_name' is not listed, and so the node should be considered 'gone'. 
This is actually different than the 'down' state - a node might be listed in 
/live_nodes, meaning it's part of the cluster, but have a state of 'down' 
because it could not properly start.
