David Smiley commented on SOLR-17519:
-------------------------------------
Here's another proposal that I'd like an opinion on, designed to both simplify
and actually give the deployer a bit of control that they don't have today:
Only use the configured URLs for all cluster state API interactions. Easy. No
need to even convert a "liveNode" url-ish thing to a URL. The deployer's job
is to pick the node list wisely – nodes that will always be there,
notwithstanding restarts. But that's true today as well. Perhaps the deployer
designates a node-0 node (and one or two others fallback) that already has a
node role to be the Overseer and/or for doing coordinator stuff. The risk with
my proposal is that by *not* considering live nodes (those returned from Solr),
perhaps the initial list becomes inaccessible. But that's a risk anyway at the
time a client starts.

> When using CloudSolrClient with HTTP URLs to Solr for the cluster state:
> If all live nodes disappear temporarily (hard cluster restart?), the client
> can permanently fail to talk to the cluster, and thus would need to be
> restarted to recover.
> Credit [~ilan] on the dev list:
> {quote}The current implementation removes non live nodes from the set of
> nodes to connect to. Getting the live nodes requires connecting to a specific
> node in the cluster that is therefore live when that happens. Worst case, if
> there is a single node up in the cluster, the client ends with a single node
> in its connection candidates list. For the issue to manifest, that Solr node
> then has to go down. Subsequently, even if other nodes are up, the client
> only has the address of a down node and can't connect.
> The fix is not a big deal. Nodes initially passed as configuration to the
> client should never be removed from the set of candidate nodes to connect to,
> even if they are not live. Other live nodes could be added to that set (and
> removed from it if we so desire when they are no longer live) to increase
> resiliency in case the cluster does have live nodes but all initially
> configured nodes are not live. The design issue is treating the configured
> set of nodes to connect to and the set of live nodes as one thing.
