--------------------------------------

Hi David,

I've added the fix version as 7.2 for this Jira for reference

 

We recently had a user who ran into a race condition when updating aliases on a Solr 5.x . Looking at master today it looks like we're dealing with race conditions and this comment confirms that we fixed it as part of this Jira 

 
{quote}Decomposing aliases.json has pros/cons, but it won't remove the possibility of races between modifying some portion of the aliases state; it just makes it more rare. So we still need to deal with races in code.... using a zkVersion with a retry and eventual timeout, etc.

> SOLR-11299 outlines an approach to using a collection Alias to refer to a series of collections of a time series. We'll need to store some metadata about these time series collections, such as which field of the document contains the timestamp to route on.
> The current {{/aliases.json}} is a Map with a key {{collection}} which is in turn a Map of alias name strings to a comma delimited list of the collections.
> _If we change the comma delimited list to be another Map to hold the existing list and more stuff, older CloudSolrClient (configured to talk to ZooKeeper) will break_.  Although if it's configured with an HTTP Solr URL then it would not break.  There's also some read/write hassle to worry about -- we may need to continue to read an aliases.json in the older format.
> Alternatively, we could add a new map entry to aliases.json, say, {{collection_metadata}} keyed by alias name?
> Perhaps another very different approach is to attach metadata to the configset in use?
