Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-5872:
------------------------------------
bq. as we move the individual collection states out of the main
clusterstate.json [...]
This will make a difference on clusters with many smaller collections, but not
on the single big collection.
It seems like we still want scalability in both directions (wrt number of
collections, and the size a single collection can be).

>
> The overseer queue is one of the busiest points in the entire system. The
> raison d'être of the queue is
> * Provide batching of operations for the main clusterstate,json so that
> state updates are minimized
> * Avoid race conditions and ensure order
> Now , as we move the individual collection states out of the main
> clusterstate.json, the batching is not useful anymore.
> Race conditions can easily be solved by using a compare and set in Zookeeper.
> The proposed solution is , whenever an operation is required to be performed
> on the clusterstate, the same thread (and of course the same JVM)
> # read the fresh state and version of zk node
> # construct the new state
> # perform a compare and set
> # if compare and set fails go to step 1
> This should be limited to all operations performed on external collections
> because batching would be required for others
