[lucene-solr] 02/12: @1291 Cleanup 1290. I also again ran into issues with reload and the way many Solr tests try to cheat SolrCore ref counting - this is halfway though on addressing that.

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

markrmiller pushed a commit to branch reference_impl_dev
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene-solr.git

commit 26736dc43a9ce61763f4b6b0729087c55510cd45
Author: markrmiller@gmail.com <ma...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Fri Jan 29 14:32:29 2021 -0600

    @1291 Cleanup 1290. I also again ran into issues with reload and the way many Solr tests try to cheat SolrCore ref counting - this is halfway though on addressing that.
