Hi SOLR Community,

I've been investigating SOLR 8 and recovery behavior. From what I can tell,
older SOLR versions (6 and before at least) required a solrdata drive with
at least 2x the space of the index; so an index which could be up to 100GB
on one shard would require a disk with at least 200GB of storage space,
since recovery would copy a brand new index over and then switch after the
fact.

However, SOLR 8 looks to have a different behavior wherein the index is
perhaps updated in place, and thus a 100GB / shard index might only need a
bit more headroom (call it 110GB say). Is this always the case with
recovery on SOLR 8+? Or are there some situations where you might need
200GB for the recovery?

Thanks in advance!
Stephen
