[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-5986) Don't allow runaway queries from harming Solr cluster health or search performance

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5986?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14127767#comment-14127767 ] 

Steve Davids commented on SOLR-5986:
------------------------------------

bq. I think this should be ok, specially considering the intention is to make sure that the request is killed and doesn't run forever.
+1, this is a good starting point and can be further refined in the future if need be.

I went ahead and opened SOLR-6496 to account for the LBHttpSolrServer's continual retries. Also, I am a little concerned that the cursorMark doesn't honor the timeAllowed request parameter for some strange reason (the cursorMark ticket didn't provide any rational for it), we may want to revisit that decision in yet another ticket so people can be confident their cursor mark queries won't crash their clusters as well.

Thanks for taking this on Anshum!

> The intent of this ticket is to have all distributed search requests stop wasting CPU cycles on requests that have already timed out or are so complicated that they won't be able to execute. We have come across a case where a nasty wildcard query within a proximity clause was causing the cluster to enumerate terms for hours even though the query timeout was set to minutes. This caused a noticeable slowdown within the system which made us restart the replicas that happened to service that one request, the worst case scenario are users with a relatively low zk timeout value will have nodes start dropping from the cluster due to long GC pauses.
> [~amccurry] Built a mechanism into Apache Blur to help with the issue in BLUR-142 (see commit comment for code, though look at the latest code on the trunk for newer bug fixes).
> Solr should be able to either prevent these problematic queries from running by some heuristic (possibly estimated size of heap usage) or be able to execute a thread interrupt on all query threads once the time threshold is met. This issue mirrors what others have discussed on the mailing list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-solr-user/200903.mbox/%3C856ac15f0903272054q2dbdbd19kea3c5ba9e105b9d8@mail.gmail.com%3E
