When a replica returns an error, like a 503, does shards.tolerant=true give partial results?
The ref guide says it does that when the shard is “unavailable”, but that sounds like a down state rather than a temporary issue. “In the event that one or more shards queried are unavailable,…” https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_11/solrcloud-query-routing-and-read-tolerance.html#shards-tolerant-parameter I looked at the original Jira for that, but it is for 4.0 and things have changed just a little bit (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3134). wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog)
