stupid collection tricks

[Michael Della Bitta <mi...@appinions.com>]

Hi,

I've been shuffling things around in our Solr Cloud for the past few
weeks, and now some cruft has accrued, probably from not having done
things in the proper way.

Now I have two (obsolete) collections I want to delete, but none of
the hosts that are marked as having hosted it are around anymore.
Running a DELETE from the collections api doesn't seem to do
something, probably because no hosts exist that can be considered
leaders for each of the shards of those two collections.

Additionally, I have a few shards that have the names of former hosts
registered, and I'd like to remove them.

Is there an easy way to do this? Do I need to manually edit
clusterstate.json somehow?

I should mention that everything's running 4.2.1 now.

Thanks,

Michael Della Bitta
