https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-16871 # Description From a unit test case [that issue concurrent select queries to coordinator nodes](https://github.com/cowpaths/fullstory-solr/blob/e4226eb8fa2afb01d7615f7faea01f71b144cd58/solr/core/src/test/org/apache/solr/search/TestCoordinatorRole.java#L486), it’s found that there could be 3 race condition issues: 1. If multiple concurrent requests find the synthetic collection is not yet created, they might all attempt to create the synthetic collection. This could trigger SolrException on `collection already exists` 2. Similarly, if multiple concurrent requests find there’s no replica of the synthetic collection for current node (multiple coordinator node scenario), then CoordinatorHttpSolrCall#addReplica could be invoked multiple times. This should not trigger any exception, but would create multiple replicas for the same node in the synthetic collection 3. The existing logic [here](https://github.com/cowpaths/fullstory-solr/blob/6c8531f08301a291478502c262499abed0d5075c/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/servlet/CoordinatorHttpSolrCall.java#L102) assumes if syntheticColl.getReplicas(solrCall.cores.getZkController().getNodeName()) returns non empty result, then the following call in [here](https://github.com/cowpaths/fullstory-solr/blob/6c8531f08301a291478502c262499abed0d5075c/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/servlet/CoordinatorHttpSolrCall.java#L112) should return a core. Unfortunately, the first call can return a non empty list but with a DOWN replica if another request is in the progress of creating such replica. In this case, the solrCall.getCoreByCollection(syntheticCollectionName, isPreferLeader) would call super.getCoreByCollection at [here](https://github.com/cowpaths/fullstory-solr/blob/6c8531f08301a291478502c262499abed0d5075c/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/servlet/CoordinatorHttpSolrCall.java#L69) which would return a null (since super impl only returns active replica). So CoordinatorHttpSolrCall#getCoreByCollection would end up calling CoordinatorHttpSolrCall#getCore , introducing an infinite loop and cause stack overflow # Solution 1. For collection creation exception, check again if the collection exists, if so, ignore the exception and proceed 2. For replica, if the replica for such node already found in the DocCollection, then ensure that it's active using `zkStateReader.waitForState`. This avoids the infinite loop caused by the presence of `down` replica. Take note that this does NOT avoid the 2nd issue above, concurrent requests can still create multiple replica for the same node in the synthetic collection, though it's probably benign (and unlikely) Remarks: First attempt was actually provide proper locking to avoid race condition. However, it's quite tricky to get it right - might need to force refresh the zkReader and do multiple extra reads. The extra cost and complexity probably does not justify the gain. # Tests Added `TestCooridnatorRole#testConcurrentAccess` to reproduce the issue # Checklist Please review the following and check all that apply: - [x] I have reviewed the guidelines for [How to Contribute](https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute) and my code conforms to the standards described there to the best of my ability. - [x] I have created a Jira issue and added the issue ID to my pull request title. - [ ] I have given Solr maintainers [access](https://help.github.com/en/articles/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork) to contribute to my PR branch.
