             Summary: DeleteCollectionCmd should specify DELETE_INDEX=true
                 Key: SOLR-17171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17171
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: main (10.0)
            Reporter: Michael Gibney


Since its inception, {{DeleteCollectionCmd}} has [not explicitly 
requested|https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/e7051f9058ff011049cd727deaaadb4d97a2e3f7/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/cloud/api/collections/DeleteCollectionCmd.java#L119-L120]
 deletion of the index directory, but has instead relied upon the fact that in 
most (all?) cases, the index directory is implicitly deleted as a subdirectory 
of the core instance and/or data directories.

All other similar commands that I can find (e.g. 
[DeleteReplicaCmd|https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/e7051f9058ff011049cd727deaaadb4d97a2e3f7/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/cloud/api/collections/DeleteReplicaCmd.java#L304-L309])
 do explicitly delete the indexDir.

In the common case, this does not present a practical problem for 
{{DeleteCollectionCmd}}, because the index dir is implicitly deleted, and the 
vestigial reference to the indexDir in {{CachingDirectoryFactory}} is GC'd when 
the core and DirectoryFactory are closed. But for {{Directory}} impls that need 
to clean up associated state, this can be a problem.

An analogous change was made in SOLR-4741 -- [explicitly deleting the core 
dataDir|https://github.com/apache/solr/commit/8aa09aeca0c37cbfa2bcf3c3548f0341a416245b]
 --  and adding explicit indexDir deletion here would simply bring 
{{DeleteCollectionCmd}} in line with all other similar invocations of 
{{SolrCore.unloadOnClose(...)}}.
