Eric Pugh reassigned SOLR-18008:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Eric Pugh
> Allow Core Creation when remnant files are still on disk
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-18008
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-18008
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 8.11, 9.8
> Reporter: Eric Pugh
> Assignee: Eric Pugh
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 3h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Today in some production systems where we delete and re-create collections
> with the same name, we sometimes have left over files after deleting the the
> previous collection (and therefore the cores). The existence of these files
> causes any future collection creation to fail because when the individual
> core is created, we see we already have the remnant on disk.
> See the BATS test
> [https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/4d86c8cd128d59a65476dded34ec9c1947e67778/solr/packaging/test/test_create_collection2.bats]
> for an example of this situation.
> In a perfect world of course we wouldn't have these remnants, however I
> currently don't have the ability to debug why they intermittantly happen. I
> only know that when we go to make a new one we get errors similar to:
> Error CREATEing SolrCore xxxxxx: Could not create a new core in
> /var/solr/xxxxxx *as another core is already defined there*
> RequestHandlerBaseorg.apache.solr.common.SolrException: *Cannot unload
> non-existent core*
> Underlying core creation failed while creating collection
>
> The fix is unfortunantly to log onto the specific Solr box and execute a
> command similar to:
>
> rm -rf /var/solr/master_\{nameOfCollection}_\{indexMode}
> {shardNumber} \{replicaNumber}
> This Jira is to explore how we can at least handle this failure case in a
> better way, and allow the new create collection command to go through.
>
> I looked through old tickets, and in order of most likely related to least
> likely, here are some that I found:
