-----------------------------------
Summary: Aliases and eventual consistency (should use sync())
Key: SOLR-12256
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12256
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: SolrCloud
Reporter: David Smiley
Assignee: David Smiley
ZkStateReader.AliasesManager.update() reads alias info from ZK into the
ZkStateReader. This method is called in ~5 places (+2 for tests). In at least
some of these places, the caller assumes that the alias info is subsequently up
to date when in fact this might not be so since ZK is allowed to return a stale
value. ZooKeeper.sync() can be called to force an up to date value. As with
sync(), AliasManager.update() ought not to be called aggressively/commonly,
only in certain circumstances (e.g. _after_ failing to resolve stuff that would
otherwise return an error).
And related to this eventual consistency issue, SetAliasPropCmd will throw an
exception if the alias doesn't exist. Fair enough, but sometimes (as seen in
some tests), the node receiving the command to update Alias properties is
simply "behind"; it does not yet know about an alias that other nodes know
about. I believe this is the cause of some failures in AliasIntegrationTest;
perhaps others.
