-----------------------------------

             Summary: LTR updates inconsistent across nodes in SolrCloud mode 
without collection reload
                 Key: SOLR-18340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-18340
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: contrib - LTR
    Affects Versions: 9.10.1, 10.0
            Reporter: Adam Quigley


h3. Context

LTR resources (models and feature stores) are both Managed Resources and are 
backed by ZooKeeper when running in SolrCloud mode.

The [Solr Ref guide 
states|[https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/query-guide/learning-to-rank.html#applying-changes]:]

??Changes made to managed resources are not applied to the active Solr 
components until the Solr collection (or Solr core in single server mode) is 
reloaded.??

However, updates to LTR resources are inconsistent across nodes in SolrCloud 
mode before a collection reload. The node that handles the update request also 
updates its in-memory store, resulting in inconsistent state between nodes 
temporarily.

Note: SOLR-17132 describes similar behavior and was closed by its reporter. The 
underlying cross-node inconsistency was never addressed.
h3. Example

1. Solr running in SolrCloud mode (example of 3 nodes)
2. An update is made to a model or feature store (PUT /schema/feature-store)
3. The update mutates the receiving node's in-memory map, then persists the 
change in ZooKeeper
4. A collection reload causes each node to have an up-to-date view of the 
models and features.

The issue is that between steps 3 and 4, 1/3 nodes have the updated view, and 
the other 2/3 have a stale view. This is inconsistent with the ref guide which 
implies that no change should be active until the collection is reloaded.
h3. Requirement

Document the behavior and/or contribute a fix so that all nodes get a 
consistent view of the change (either immediately, or only upon collection 
reload).

I have reproduced this with unit tests locally and am happy to share or 
contribute them.
