(solr) 01/03: SOLR-17857: SolrMetricsContext is now reliably closed (#4226)

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

dsmiley pushed a commit to branch branch_10x
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/solr.git

commit aa2e32da881aa6aafcfa82cdb079f79ea4855f23
Author: David Smiley <ds...@apache.org>
AuthorDate: Sat Mar 28 16:58:28 2026 -0400

    SOLR-17857: SolrMetricsContext is now reliably closed (#4226)
    
    SolrMetricsContext is now AutoCloseable; renamed unregister() to close().
    Ensure it is closed exactly once, fixing double-close of OTEL metrics
    that yielded warnings.  Uses ObjectReleaseTracker.
    
    Key changes:
    - PluginBag tracks all plugins (V1, V2, and defaults) in allPlugins,
      ensuring proper cleanup during replacement and shutdown.
    - RequestHandlerBase asserts that initializeMetrics() is called before
      handling requests, preventing memory leaks from untracked contexts.
    - InfoHandler and SchemaHandler initialize metrics on dynamically-created
      sub-handlers, registering them for cleanup.
    - SolrFieldCacheBean: fix recursive close; removed from core metrics.
    - HighlightComponent: fix unclosed context due to improper
      default/aliasing in SolrCore.loadSearchComponents.
    - CoreContainer.shutdown: shut down coreZkRegister executor early so
      in-progress async reloads (triggered by ZK config watchers) complete
      before cores are closed.
    - ObjectReleaseTracker: add a way to inspect contents.  Sadly one test
      needs to ignore certain unclosed contexts: MissingSegmentRecoveryTest
