Bruno Roustant commented on SOLR-16438:
---------------------------------------
This lightly flapping test failure is due to a SocketTimeoutException. I can't
reproduce on my machine, but it seems the test envs need more time during
split, especially for this test running three hosts in a mini cluster.
I make the test set the socket timeout to a higher value (120s) than the
default 90s set in MiniSolrCloudCluster.

> Currently, shard split always create a first replica for each sub-shard on
> the current host. Then it creates other replicas and their corresponding
> sub-shards are in RECOVERY state. The effect is that the first replica (on
> the current host) is always the leader, meaning that if the sub-shards are
> split themselves, their sub-sub-shards leaders are also on the same host.
> This can lead to very unbalanced situation where the same host is the leader
> for a whole set of shards.
> A solution to distribute evenly the leaders is to flag some other replicas
> with the preferredLeader property during the split. Then a rebalance-leaders
> command can elect the appropriate leaders. If we do that for each split, then
> all the sub-shards have their leaders correctly balanced.
> To go further, we can improve CollectionsHandler#CollectionOperation to
> support combined operations. That way a CollectionOperation#SPLITSHARD_OP can
> trigger a split op, then a wait for split completion op, and then a rebalance
> leaders op.
