Mark Miller commented on SOLR-6530:
-----------------------------------
Something like this came up in another JIRA issue as well. Cannot remember
which. I said it there as well, but beyond this improvement, I don't think it
makes a lot of sense for someone to ask for a recover because a commit failed.
There should be better / cheaper options.

> Commits are executed by any node in SolrCloud i.e. they're not routed via the
> leader like other updates.
> # Suppose there's 1 collection, 1 shard, 2 replicas (A and B) and A is the
> leader
> # Suppose a commit request is made to node B during a time where B cannot
> talk to A due to a partition for any reason (failing switch, heavy GC,
> whatever)
> # B fails to distribute the commit to A (times out) and asks A to recover
> # This was okay earlier because a leader just ignores recovery requests but
> with leader initiated recovery code, B puts A in the "down" state and A can
> never get out of that state.
> tl;dr; During network partitions, if enough commit/optimize requests are sent
> to the cluster, all the nodes in the cluster will eventually be marked as
> "down".
