[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-2880) Investigate adding an overseer that can assign shards, later do re-balancing, etc

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2880?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sami Siren updated SOLR-2880:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: SOLR-2880.patch

This patch implements a simple overseer (cluster leader). Currently it does not do more than assign shard ids to cores so there is no added functionality. I wanted to post what I currently have here to get some feedback and improvement ideas.

Two new top level zkNodes are created:

/node_assignments
/node_states

Basically the integration point is the ZKController:

When a core is registered its state is registered locally and nodes current state is published under /node_states

When overseer assigns a shard id the state is stored locally (to overseer) and the assignments for the node are published under /node_assignments.

Overseer gets the number of shards required for a collection from the collections properties in ZK. So if you wanted to add a new collection you'd create a new collection node and record the required number of shards (among other things like the used configuration) into its properties.

Even if a node hosts multiple cores it only creates single node (/node_states/<id>) and reads a single node (/node_assignments/<id>). It might be simpler to have multiple subnodes (one for each core)
