Patrick Hunt commented on SOLR-1277:
------------------------------------
You guys are asking the right questions. In particular the issue about "how
expensive is it to lose a solr node" is a good one to think about. Unfort I
don't know enough about solr to advise you, but if it's not very expensive to
lose/regain a node then just let it timeout. The rest of the system will see
this quickly (via ephemeral node/watch) and when the solr node is active again
(comes out of the gc pause) it will talk to the zk server, see that it's
session has been expired, and re-bootstrap into the solr "cloud".
Another thing to ask yourself is this "if a Solr node pauses for 4 minutes due
to GC pause, how different is that from a network partition or crash/reboot of
that node?" What I'm saying here is, the node is _gone_ for 4 minutes -- what
effect does that have on the rest of your system. Say you are expecting some
very low SLA from that node, then upping the timeout is not useful here. Loss
of the solr node due to gc is no diff than network partition or crash/reboot of
the host.

> The goal is to give Solr server clusters self-healing attributes
> where if a server fails, indexing and searching don't stop and
> all of the partitions remain searchable. For configuration, the
> ability to centrally deploy a new configuration without servers
> going offline.
> We can start with basic failover and start from there?
> Features:
> * Automatic failover (i.e. when a server fails, clients stop
> trying to index to or search it)
> * Centralized configuration management (i.e. new solrconfig.xml
> or schema.xml propagates to a live Solr cluster)
> * Optionally allow shards of a partition to be moved to another
> server (i.e. if a server gets hot, move the hot segments out to
> cooler servers). Ideally we'd have a way to detect hot segments
> and move them seamlessly. With NRT this becomes somewhat more
> difficult but not impossible?
