[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-9835) Create another replication mode for SolrCloud

Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-9835:
--------------------------------------

I believe that if we do implement this, it should make SOLR-9706 obsolete. The proposed replication mode sounds like it would make manually issuing a fetchIndex unnecessary since the use-case for SOLR-9706 I'm familiar with is exactly only indexing to the leader and having the followers use the regular polling mechanism which doesn't block during replication.

At least we should verify whether SOLR-9706 is made obsolete by this proposal.

> The current replication mechanism of SolrCloud is called state machine, which replicas start in same initial state and for each input, the input is distributed across replicas so all replicas will end up with same next state. 
> But this type of replication have some drawbacks
> - The commit (which costly) have to run on all replicas
> - Slow recovery, because if replica miss more than N updates on its down time, the replica have to download entire index from its leader.
> So we create create another replication mode for SolrCloud called state transfer, which acts like master/slave replication. In basically
> - Leader distribute the update to other replicas, but the leader only apply the update to IW, other replicas just store the update to UpdateLog (act like replication).
> - Replicas frequently polling the latest segments from leader.
> Pros:
> - Lightweight for indexing, because only leader are running the commit, updates.
> - Very fast recovery, replicas just have to download the missing segments.
