[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-12438) Improve status reporting of metrics history API

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12438?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16502397#comment-16502397 ] 

Andrzej Bialecki  commented on SOLR-12438:
------------------------------------------

This patch contains the following changes:
* the API works now also in non-cloud mode.
* report the current "mode" (disabled, memory, index).
* automatically pull in-memory history from Overseer when request is submitted to any node and when the API is in non-persistent mode (the data is not available then in the {{.system}} collection)
* report the source node where the data was obtained from. When in "index" mode the source node is always the one where the request was submitted to.

> In an offline conversation with [~janhoy] we identified the following areas of improvement to the metrics history API in order to increase its user-friendliness and provide more details about its status.
>  
> * there are three possible states for the API: inactive (when not in cloud mode), in-memory only (when {{.system}} collection doesn’t exist), and persisted when it’s both active and persisted in Solr. The /admin/metrics/history endpoint should give some hint about this status, such as "mode":"memory/index", "active": true|false. Or a separate action=status just to poll status? Currently when the API is inactive it simply returns 404 Not Found.
> * when in "memory" mode a call to /admin/metrics/history on a non-overseer node should forward the request to the overseer, so that the client does not need to care what mode it is in - kind of like how a query works in distributed mode.
> * better documentation for the API behavior in each mode.
> * perhaps if mode=memory, there could also be a "message":"Warning, metrics history is not being persisted. Please create the .system collection to start persisting history"
