sigram opened a new issue, #89:
URL: https://github.com/apache/solr-sandbox/issues/89

   Here's the scenario:
   * create a number of 1:1 collections in source / target Solr
   * start indexing (in my tests I was simply sending a constant stream of 
random documents in a round-robin fashion to each collection)
   * simulate a problem in ONE of the target collections. I simply deleted it, 
but in real life scenario it could've been any other kind of breakdown, or the 
following hypothetical scenario:
     * with a high-enough traffic there will be a number of messages in-flight 
between source and target. Assume the ops decided to remove (simultaneously) 
one of the collections, both at source and at target, without waiting for all 
messages for that collection to drain. Now the Consumer will pick up queued 
in-flight messages intended for the no-longer existing target collection.
   * Consumer will attempt to send picked up requests addressed to a no-longer 
existing (or functional) collection, to which Solr will respond with errors.
   * this will trigger back-offs, which will eventually halt ALL processing, 
also for the remaining healthy collections.
   
   Is this behavior the best we can do? I'm not sure, I would expect the 
Consumer to continue processing requests for healthy collections. At the very 
least we should offer some protection against the hypothetical I mentioned 
above.
