[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-9092) Add safety checks to delete replica/shard/collection commands

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9092?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15277872#comment-15277872 ] 

Shalin Shekhar Mangar commented on SOLR-9092:
---------------------------------------------

The delete replica API already has a 'onlyIfDown' parameter. I think you want to add a `onlyIfLive` parameter? The delete replica API is supposed to delete non-live replicas from cluster state and I think that should be the default because otherwise how else would you remove a replica which has been decommissioned. If we change the default to be onlyIfLive=true then that's a major back-compat break for this API.

> We should verify the delete commands against live_nodes to make sure the API can atleast be executed correctly
> If we have a two node cluster, a collection with 1 shard 2 replica. Call the delete replica command against for the replica whose node is currently down.
> You get an exception:

> For create collection/add-replica we check the "createNodeSet" and "node" params respectively against live_nodes to make sure it has a chance of succeeding.
> We should add a check against live_nodes for the delete commands as well.
> Another situation where I saw this can be a problem - A second solr cluster cloned from the first but the script didn't correctly change the hostnames in the state.json file. When a delete command was issued against the second cluster Solr deleted the replica from the first cluster.
> In the above case the script was buggy obviously but if we verify against live_nodes then Solr wouldn't have gone ahead and deleted replicas not belonging to its cluster.
