Andrzej Bialecki  commented on SOLR-13427:
------------------------------------------

This patch contains several changes:

* it moves the main simulation framework classes to {{solr/core}} (from tests)
* adds several improvements to the simulator so that it can be fully 
initialized from an already running instance of Solr
* adds support in {{SolrCLI autoscaling}} for running a specified number of 
iterations to simulate the effects of applying suggestions, and provides 
detailed status of intermediate states. 

TODO:
* cleanup of {{CloudTestUtils}}, since most of its methods have been moved to 
{{CloudUtil}} in solr/core.
* maybe add support for dumping a snapshot of a (real) cluster state so that it 
can be used in a later simulation run instead of the real cluster, for running 
"what would've happened if" scenarios?

> It's not always clear what would be the final state of the cluster after 
> applying the suggested changes (obtained from {{/autoscaling/suggestions}}), 
> especially on a large and busy cluster where several autoscaling rules have 
> to be considered.
> This issue proposes to use the simulation framework for simulating the 
> effects of the suggestions.
> First, the simulator would be initialized from the current state of a real 
> cluster. Then it would run several rounds of simulated execution of 
> suggestions until there were either no more suggestions (the cluster would be 
> perfectly balanced) or the iteration count limit was reached.
> This simulation could be executed using either the deployed autoscaling 
> config or one provided by the user, which would make it easier to test the 
> effects of various configurations on the cluster layout.
> Support for this functionality would be integrated into the existing 
> {{SolrCLI autoscaling}} tool.
