             Summary: SplitShard needs finer-grained mutual exclusion
                 Key: SOLR-8744
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8744
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SolrCloud
    Affects Versions: 5.4.1
            Reporter: Scott Blum


SplitShard creates a mutex over the whole collection, but in practice this is a 
big scaling problem.  Multiple split shard operations could happen at the time 
time, as long as different shards are being split.  In practice, those shards 
often reside on different machines, so there's no I/O bottleneck in those 
cases, just the mutex in Overseer forcing the operations to be done serially.

Given that a single split can take many minutes on a large collection, this is 
a bottleneck at scale.
