Hey all, so https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/2381 moves the various commands for doing a snapshot from the /solr/server/cloud-scripts/snapshotcli.sh script into the bin/solr overall structure! I had no idea that we had CLI tooling for managing snapshots! The one slightly icky/weird thing is that there are some steps that if you are running HDFS, and you want to use the "hadoop distcp tool" then those don't go through the Java tooling, they are specific to the HDFS module.
In the PR, I've added to the modules/hdfs/bin the script for workign with the hadoop distcp tool. However, since I'm not familiar with how that all works, and we don't have any BATS tests, well, I'm a bit nervous about the changes. So, I'd love to ask for some help testing this. Anyone using the HDFS and Solr stuff in production willing to work with me to test this out? What I'd really like is to get the BATS testing of the hadoop stuff developed so we can feel more confident making changes. Eric
