Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3685:
-----------------------------------
bq. Looking at your logs, it appears that you are replicating because the
transaction logs look suspect - probably because of a hard power down. If you
shutdown gracefully, you would get a peer sync instead which should determine
you are up to date.
Alright, I just saw a similar thing happen even shutting everyone down
gracefully.
I think it's likely our kind of un-orderly cluster shutdown. If you shutdown
all the nodes at once, depending on some timing differences, some recoveries
may trigger as the leader goes down. Then the replica would go down.
In my case though, I was working with a 3 shard 2 replica cluster - so I don't
think that was likely the issue. If one node goes down, there is no one to
recover from.
We need to investigate a bit more.

> Key: SOLR-3685
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3685
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: replication (java), SolrCloud
> Affects Versions: 4.0-ALPHA
> Environment: Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze 64bit
> Solr 5.0-SNAPSHOT 1365667M - markus - 2012-07-25 19:09:43
> Reporter: Markus Jelsma
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 4.1

> There's a serious problem with restarting nodes, not cleaning old or unused
> index directories and sudden replication and Java being killed by the OS due
> to excessive memory allocation. Since SOLR-1781 was fixed index directories
> get cleaned up when a node is being restarted cleanly, however, old or unused
> index directories still pile up if Solr crashes or is being killed by the OS,
> happening here.
> We have a six-node 64-bit Linux test cluster with each node having two
> shards. There's 512MB RAM available and no swap. Each index is roughly 27MB
> so about 50MB per node, this fits easily and works fine. However, if a node
> is being restarted, Solr will consistently crash because it immediately eats
> up all RAM. If swap is enabled Solr will eat an additional few 100MB's right
> after start up.
> This cannot be solved by restarting Solr, it will just crash again and leave
> index directories in place until the disk is full. The only way i can restart
> a node safely is to delete the index directories and have it replicate from
> another node. If i then restart the node it will crash almost consistently.
> I'll attach a log of one of the nodes.
