Aparna Suresh updated SOLR-17106:
---------------------------------
Description:
Following discussion from a dev list discussion here:
[https://lists.apache.org/thread/f0zfmpg0t48xrtppyfsmfc5ltzsq2qqh]
The issue involves scalability challenges in SolrJ's *LBSolrClient* when a pod
with numerous cores experiences connectivity problems. The "zombie" tracking
mechanism, operating on a core basis, becomes a bottleneck during distributed
search on a massive multi shard collection. Threads attempting to reach
unhealthy cores contribute to a high computational load, causing performance
issues.
As suggested by Chris Hostetter: LBSolrClient could be configured to disable
zombie "ping" checks, but retain zombie tracking. Once a replica/endpoint is
identified as a zombie, it could be held in zombie jail for X seconds, before
being released - hoping that by this timeframe ZK would be updated to mark this
endpoint DOWN or the pod is back up and CloudSolrClient would avoid querying
it. In any event, only 1 failed query would be needed to send the server back
to zombie jail.
There are benefits in doing this change:
* Eliminate the zombie ping requests, which would otherwise overload pod(s)
coming up after a restart
* Avoid memory leaks, in case a node/replica goes away permanently, but it
stays as zombie forever, with a background thread in LBSolrClient constantly
pinging it
