---------------------------------
Summary: Consider allowing any node to become leader, regardless
of their last published state.
Key: SOLR-7034
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7034
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Mark Miller
Now that we allow a min replication param for updates, I think it's time to
loosen this up. Currently, you can end up in a state where no one in a shard
thinks they can be leader and you so do this fast ugly infinite loop trying to
pick the leader.
We should let anyone that is able to properly sync with the available replicas
to become leader if that process succeeds.
The previous strategy was to account for the case of not having enough replicas
after a machine loss to ensure you don't lose the data. The idea was that you
should stop the cluster to avoid losing data and repair and get all your
replicas involved in a leadership election. Instead, we should favor carrying
on, and those that want to ensure they don't lose data due to major replica
loss should use the min replication update param.
