             Summary: Strange error condition with cloud replication not 
working quite right
                 Key: SOLR-5407
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5407
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.5
            Reporter: Nathan Neulinger


I have a clodu deployment of 4.5 on EC2. Architecture is 3 dedicated ZK nodes, 
and a pair of solr nodes.  I'll apologize in advance that this error report is 
not going to have a lot of detail, I'm really hoping that the 
scenario/description will trigger some "likely" possible explanation.

The situation I got into was that the server had decided to fail over, so my 
app servers were all taking to what should have been the primary for most of 
the shards/collections, but actually was the replica.

Here's where it gets odd - no errors being returned to the client code for any 
of the searches or document updates - and the current primary server was 
definitely receiving all of the updates - even though they were being submitted 
to the inactive/replica node. (clients talking to solr-p1, which was not 
primary at the time, and writes were being passed through to solr-r1, which was 
primary at the time.)

All sounds good so far right? Except - the replica server at the time, through 
which the writes were passing - never got any of those content updates. It had 
an old unmodified copy of the index. 

I restarted solr-p1 (was the replica at the time) - no change in behavior. 
Behavior did not change until I killed and restarted the current primary 
(solr-r1) to force it to fail over.

At that point, everything was all happy again and working properly. 

Until this morning, when one of the developers provisioned a new collection, 
which happened to put it's primary on solr-r1. Again, clients all pointing at 
solr-p1. The developer reported that the documents were going into the index, 
but not visible on the replica server.
