             Summary: Cannot do a full sync (fetchindex) if the replica can't 
open a searcher
                 Key: SOLR-10006
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10006
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
    Affects Versions: 5.3.1, 6.4
            Reporter: Erick Erickson


Doing a full sync or fetchindex requires an open searcher and if you can't open 
the searcher those operations fail.

For discussion. I've seen a situation in the field where a replica's index 
became corrupt. When the node was restarted, the replica tried to do a full 
sync but fails because the core can't open a searcher. The replica went into an 
endless sync/fail/sync cycle.

I couldn't reproduce that exact scenario, but it's easy enough to get into a 
similar situation. Create a 2x2 collection and index some docs. Then stop one 
of the instances and go in and remove a couple of segments files and restart.

The replica stays in the "down" state, fine so far.

Manually issue a fetchindex. That fails because the replica can't open a 
searcher. Sure, issuing a fetchindex is abusive.... but I think it's the same 
underlying issue: why should we care about the state of a replica's current 
index when we're going to completely replace it anyway?
