Hey everyone,

Update on the 9.9 release.

There are two issues that popped up after fixing the
ParallelHttpShardHandler bug:

   - https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/3428 (9.x specific, unrelated to
   the bug, but found while beasting tests)
   - https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/3429 (Fixes bug introduced into
   HttpShardHandler)

Both should be good to go after quick reviews.

The other big issue we are facing is regarding the smoke tester and
buildAndPushRelease scripts. Both of these have started having issues
regarding running tests that watch logs. (Like TestLogWatcher and
RankFieldTest). Both of these watch for certain log events, and both of
them fail when running the tests via the python scripts. We can see this
has been happening since May 9th on the Apache Jenkins instances, but there
is nothing introduced in Solr at the time that would explain it.
https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Solr/job/Solr-Smoketest-9.x/

I am having a very hard time replicating this (outside of doing the full
release process), but I'll hopefully have it solved by the time those 2 PRs
are approved, merged, and backported.
